Youxia

Youxia (1.1) - Adventurer Class

This is the Knight Errant of the Jade Lands, in many ways similar to a combination of Peasant Warrior, Kensai, and Paladin. They roam the land seeking to help the downtrodden and those in need. This class is based on the stories of the Chinese Knight Errant in history.
