Training: none
Innate Abilities: Building, Repairing, Training, Gathering Resources

About: Dragon Clan peasants are a simple lot; in floppy hats and rough spun tunics, they work ceaselessly to harvest the necessities of life. Yet each knows that his toil keeps the Clan alive as surely as the bright blades of the samurai, and that he too may someday become a warrior.

Training: Bath House
Innate Ability: Healing: The Fan Geisha can sacrifice stamina to heal another unit or herself.

About: The Geisha of the Dragon Clan are no simple courtesans. Talented musicians, graceful dancers and engaging storytellers, they keep the gentler arts of the Dragon alive even during the bloodiest wars, and remind its warriors of the fine ideals for which they struggle.

Nor are the Geisha timid or fearful of battle. In times of great need, they take the field alongside the Clan's fighting men, using their understanding of the human form and ancient mystical arts to heal even the most grievous of wounds. It is in their natures to ease suffering, not inflict it; although agile and lithe, they cannot stand against a hardened warrior. Fortunately, there is never a shortage of fighters willing to defend them.
 

BATTLEGEAR Sacrifice: The most ancient magic of the Geisha draws her spirit itself from her body, suffusing nearby allies with power and restoring them to perfect health. Only meditation at the Dragon Shrine grants a Geisha the wisdom and courage to perform such an awesome spell, and none have ever survived its casting. Fire Shield: By learning the secrets of the Fireworks Factory, a Geisha may project her passion as a rolling cloud of flame about her body, scorching all those who draw near enough to do harm.

Training: Dojo
Innate Ability: Due to the length of their spears, Spearmen are immune to the effects of height in combat when they are attacking melee opponents.

About: Dragon Clan peasants who show an aptitude in close-quarters fighting begin their training with the humble spear. From the dojo master, they learn the foundations of the martial arts: strength, speed, and poise. Opponents who pay attention only to the spear are often surprised when a Spearman lashes out only with his hands and feet in sharp, accurate strikes.

The spear is not the quickest of weapons although its reach helps when assaulting foes on higher ground. Nor is the spearman the most skilled of fighters. However, his training is simple and adaptable, forming the basis for the more advanced techniques of the Dragon.
 

BATTLEGEAR Stun Strike: Spearmen who spend time in meditation at the shrine may learn to strike with such speed and force as to render their opponents helpless with pain. Whirling Spear: When the Fireworks Factory fuses black powder with a spear, the result is a whirling terror that sprays nearby foes with a shower of stinging sparks.

Training: Archery Range
Innate Ability: Stoic Calm: If the Archer has full stamina, his first shot does double damage, draining a bit of his stamina.

About: Those who train as Archers of the Dragon Clan - usually peasants with a gift for hunting - must possess many talent, the least of which is incredibly keen vision. Far from being weaklings or cowards, Archers must possess great strength of arm to draw their enormous bows, and great strength of will to hold steady as the enemy bears upon them. As long as they remain rested and calm, Archers' arrows strike with otherworldly force.

However, this deadly proficiency comes at a price. A Dragon Archer never panics or abandons his weapon, and his mighty bow makes a poor staff. Nor can he wear armor, lest it interfere with his delicate aim, or numb him to the changing winds. A lone archer on the battlefield is in a precarious situation indeed.
 

BATTLEGEAR Zen Arrows: At the Shrine, an archer may literally become one with his weapons. This allows him to glimpse the area surrounding his fallen arrows. However, he must remain perfectly still to maintain such focus. Fire Arrows: The Fireworks Factory manufactures flaming arrows that quickly reduce buildings to ashes. These tiny torches are more infuriating than dangerous to the living.

Training: Alchemist Lab
Innate Ability: Healing Herbs: The natural healing rate of allies near the Chemist is increased when the Chemist is idling.

About: Some peasants, though quick of mind and keen of eye, just aren't cut out for the traditional battlefield. These often become chemists, learning to turn nature's humble herbs and minerals into healing salves and beautiful fireworks. Both talents have their wartime uses, as the Chemist devises screaming rockets to rain upon his foes, or employs his medicines to speed the healing of nearby allies.

Chemists are eccentric lovers of pyrotechnics, not study fighting men; they stand little chance in a toe-to-toe fight. Yet their unorthodox weapons and giddy, cackling enthusiasm for explosives has unnerved more than one battle-hardened Ronin, and turned the tide of more than one battle.
 

BATTLEGEAR Mandrake Spores: Chemists who meditate at their shrine will gain certain herbal secrets. This soporific powder lowers enemies' defenses, lulling them until they struggle to keep awake. Star Burst Rockets: A lone Chemist in his laboratory may craft dangerous rockets. A Chemist with a Fireworks Factory at his disposal is like a mad child in the Land of Flaming toys.
