Gladiator

Spectacle: As the Gladiator fights their various battles, they begin to accommodate fans from the arena's crowd. Certain actions are considered a spectacle(Denoted by (S)). Committing a spectacle grants one point of Rhythm.

Flourishing Strike: You flourish and flaunt your handling of your weapon, before delivering a sudden strike on your opponent. If you land the attack, you demoralize all witnessing enemies and lower their attack rolls by an amount depending on the flourish. (S)

Perk 1:

Heartthrob: You may spend your rhythm to place it in a quick and fanciful blow on your opponent. The strike is so impressive that it causes your opponent to be left in awe of your theatrics, forcing them to duel you.

If use Finale on Heartthrob, your attack may potentially convince your opponent that your might is too great to take on, leaving them to join your team. You may only use Finale with Heartthrob once per fight.

Perk 2:

For Glory!: With a rallying cry, you gather all the courage from the arena crowd, leading them to cheer on your next great move. If you land the attack, you strike with the force of a thousand fan boys, dealing a critical strike. However, should you miss, you leave the crowd disappointed in you, losing all of your rhythm.

You may turn this into a Spectacle by pushing aside an ally and jumping into the fray yourself.

Perk 3:

Number One Fan!: You call upon a fanboy to jump into the battle. This fan has a basic weapon and charges in to attack your desired target. The fan may intercept an attack with themselves. In certain situations, the Fan will also provide a random useful piece of equipment that fits the situation the gladiator is in.
