AC Bonus	Din adds his Wisdom modifier to AC when in Light armor or no armor.
Greater Shukuchi	(Includes Thrash of the Willow Tree, Hummingbird Pierces the Flower, and Piercing Wind) When Din attacks, he may make an additional two attacks at his highest attack bonus; any attacks made during his turn gain +2 to attack and +6d8 damage.
Iaido	Din may add his Dexterity modifier to damage on the first attack made immediately after drawing his weapon.
Flash Swipe	As an immediate action when an opponent moves adjacent to him, Din may draw a weapon and make an attack at his highest attack bonus with it. This attack does not gain the benefit of Shukuchi.
Iaijutsu Focus	(Includes Iaijutsu Strike and Flowing Blade) Upon drawing his longsword, Din gains a number of Iaijutsu Points equal to 1d4 + 6 that can be used on the attack immediately after drawing his longsword. These may be used to increase the damage of the following attack by up to 7d6 by spending 1 point per d6 of damage, and may cause a foe to be either Dazzled (1 point), Fatigued (2 poins), Shaken (3 points), or Entangled (5 points) lasting one round (DC 21 Fortitude or Will save, Din's choice). Furthermore, he gains +2 to attack on the attack immediately upon drawing his weapon.
Dance of Blades	As a full-round action, Din may move up to his speed and take a standard action at any time during that move. The square from which he made the standard action is not considered threatened.
One Strike, Two Cuts	Din may make the attack with which he uses Iaijutsu Points twice. The secondary attack is exactly like the second, though it must be rolled again and does not have to be against the same target.
Shunpo	As a move action, Din may teleport as per Dimension Slide to a distance of 50'. This does not provoke an Attack of Opportunity.
Evasion	On a successful Reflex save, Din can avoid even magical or unnatural attacks with great agility. If he makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, he instead takes no damage.
Quickstep	On any turn during which Din moves at least 10', he gains 20% concealment as per the Blur spell.
Daredevil	Din can take part of one of his move actions to traverse a wall or other relatively smooth vertical surface if he begins and ends his move on a horizontal surface. The height he can achieve on the wall is limited only by this movement restriction. If he does not end his move on a horizontal surface, he falls prone, taking falling damage as appropriate for his distance above the ground. Treat the wall as a normal floor for the purpose of measuring his movement. Passing from floor to wall or wall to floor costs no movement; he can change surfaces freely. Opponents on the ground can make attacks of opportunity as he moves up the wall. He may use this in conjunction with Dance of Blades. If he is somehow prevented from completing his move, he falls. Likewise, he could tumble along the wall to avoid attacks of opportunity.
Uncanny Dodge	Din retains his Dexterity bonus to AC even if he is caught flat-footed or struck by an invisible attacker. However, he still loses his Dexterity bonus to AC if immobilized.
Haste	Din may act as if he were hasted for 11 rounds per day. The extra attack granted by this effect stacks with the attack(s) granted by the shukuchi, but do not stack with any attack provided by a weapon with the speed enchantment.
Sheathe Unbloodied	Din may sheathe his weapon as a swift action; this provokes no Attack of Opportunity.
Sprinter	Din may run at up to five times his normal speed, rather than four.
