Starting at 1st level and every three samurai levels thereafter, a samurai learns a new weaponskill to assist him in defeating his enemies. Some weaponskills get even more powerful when used in combination with another weaponskill.

If a weaponskill requires an attack roll, it must be first prepared as a swift action. This effect lasts until the end of the samurai’s next round, allowing him to replace his next melee attack with his chosen weaponskill or multiple weaponskills with a full-attack action. All weaponskills with an attack component are made at the samurai’s highest base attack bonus.
