Styles are the fighting forms of assassins. Each style gives varying
degrees of power and defense depending on it's bias. Dragon and Wyvern
are power based styles which prefer strength of force over defense. Viper
style is the fast but weak attacking form which allows greater defense at
the expense of hard hitting. Python style concentrates on close up
combat, and Tiger is the most general normal hand to hand style (normal
defense and offense).
Dragon style fighting gives special attacking power and performs special
kick routines.
Wyvern style fighting allows sweep kicking and performs special kick
routines.
Viper style fighting allows viper strikes, which are fast, multi-hits, and
good hand blocking defense.
Python style fighting gives skills to latch someone in battle, as well as
allowing you to have better ground control over you opponent.
Tiger style fighting is available to all wayfollows, wayfollowers of the beast
get a special skill called Tiger Claw which when successful will render your
opponent unable to speak or cast spells.
