Type: Ancestor
Source: Dragon #318
You claim descent from Mirumoto, one of the first two samurai to join Togashi in his meditative retreat. You have mastered the niten defensive style based on wielding a blade in each hand.
Clan: Clan: Dragon.
Benefit: When fighting with a katana and a wakizashi, you can designate a melee opponent during your action and receive a +2 shield bonus to your Armor Class against attacks from that opponent. This bonus stacks with the shield bonus from a buckler or animated shield, as well as from the bonus granted by the Mirumoto niten master prestige class. (It does not stack with the similar bonus from the Two-Weapon Defense feat, although both bonuses can be in effect at the same time against different opponents.) You can select a new melee opponent as a free action on your turn. You lose this bonus if you are caught flat-footed or lose your Dexterity bonus to AC for any reason.
