Battle Maiden - Orient Prestige Class
This Prestige class uses elements that may not be applicable to the Forgotten Realms Campaign
Battle maidens are the stuff of wonder and legend, an order of mounted female samurai whose swift, fearless attacks are renowned throughout the world. They have a supernatural bond with their mounts, an intense spiritual connection similar to the bond between a paladin and his mount. Battle maidens maintain a tradition of martial prowess tempered by spiritual purity. Their spirits burn with pure devotion; they are unquestionably loyal, eternally dedicated and above worldly desires.
Battle maidens are almost exclusively female members of the samurai character class. In Rokugan, they are drawn solely from the Unicorn clan, where they are trained in the Utaku school.
