Some call them weird. Some call them dumb. Both died shortly after being cut to ribbons.... by a man wielding ribbons.

Ribbonblade

The Ribbonblade is an... odd fighter. It is closely related to the monk, except it comes with a catch. A Ribbonblade fights using a ribbon of varying length as a weapon. When fighting with bare fists, the ribbon allows them to be more effective when grappling. When they need a blade, the ribbon becomes a bit more magical. They focus their Ki into the ribbon, to specially harden it, sharpen it, and shape it into whatever blade they need. When they feel like they are losing, they can use some of their limited magic to distract enemies. All of this creates a man capable of slicing all enemies to ribbons.

Making a Ribbonblade

The Ribbonblade functions as a groups fighter. It can serve as the face of a group but this is uncommon. It can function as a tank, or a sneaky fighter, just depending on how you build it.
