'''Duelist's Finesse {{Ex}}:''' A katana disciple gains [[SRD:Weapon Finesse|Weapon Finesse]] as a bonus feat and treat the katana as a finesse weapon.

'''Sword Parry {{Ex}}:''' A katana disciple can parry her opponents attack and immediately strike back at them. She gains a swashbuckler<sup>Pathfinder</sup>’s opportune parry and riposte deed except she does not need panache. She must be wielding a katana in order to parry an attack this way. After a katana disciple parries an attack, any other attacks made until the end of his turn take a -4 penalty. At 7th, 11th, and 15th levels, the penalty decreases by 1. At 19th level, a katana disciple can use sword parry without penalty.

A katana disciple may use her parry ability on a ranged attack, but doing so does not grant her the ability to attack her opponent back as an immediate action.

'''Nimble (Ex):''' At 2nd level, a katana disciple gains the gunslinger’s nimble class feature, using her samurai level as her gunslinger level.

'''Weapon Expertise {{Ex}}:''' When a 3rd level katana disciple gains weapon expertise she must choose the katana. 

'''Clarity of Battle {{Ex}}:''' A 4th level katana disciple gains a +2 bonus on her [[Will]] saves while she is under the effect of her challenge. This bonus increases by +1 at 11th and 20th.

'''Weapon Training {{Ex}}:''' At 5th level, a Katana Disciple gains the Weapon Training class ability as a fighter except she may only choose the Heavy Blade group and never gains another weapon group. Every four levels thereafter she increases her weapon training bonus by 1. }}
