Ki Focus

The Weapon Master has learned to harness their inner ki and channel it through their weapon of choice. While doing so, they gain 1 AB plus an additional AB equal to half their Weapon Master level. This ability lasts one round plus an additional round per Weapon Master level and has three charges each on a five-minute cooldown. At level 10, the duration is instead two rounds per Weapon Master level.

Tip: Becoming a weapon master

• A fighter makes a very strong candidate for becoming a weapon master. All of the required feats are on the fighter bonus list, and a dedicated fighter can take his first level in weapon master as early as level 7.
