The Martial Scholar & Additional Fighting Styles for Fighters, Paladins, and Rangers

A martial scholar studies all things martial, to better themself not only on the battlefield, but in the mind as well. A student of war, the martial scholar knows that it is not enough to simply hone one’s body, but that one must hone their intellect to truly become a master of combat. Martial scholars travel the land and sea, collecting knowledge of various methods of combat and recording them for continued study. The best students go on to become masters of the arts martial, their accumulated knowledge recorded in great treatises and disseminated so that others can reap the benefits of their years spent in study. These martial scholars know that to observe a thing is only the beginning of one’s education, to do a thing is only the next step in that journey, but to teach a thing is to have mastered it. And the martial scholar seeks to be a master of all things martial.
