Editing Shen (section)

=Panther Shen=
Also known as leopard shens, these warriors practice a style often likened to a combination of Crane and Dragon, with the former's speed and agility married to the latter's power and combined with an emphasis on stealth all the panther shen's own. Panther shens prefer to punch rather than kick like a Crane shen, and their signature element is the panther fist, where the first two fingers are curled towards the palm.

In Hybrid Form, a Panther shen gains +2 Strength, +2 Dexterity, the benefits of the Spring Attack feat, and the ability to do either bludgeoning or slashing damage with unarmed strikes.
