Description:

WHAT:
A primary specialization for Amalgamation Classes built on Stormrider class perks, fighting the alien menace with sword and untrained psionic abilities.

WHY:
To be perfectly honest the original thought behind this spec was "wait, Iridar made an ‘unarmed’ weapon once, and Stormrider has his psi-kicks… let’s combine those and have a psi-brawler primary spec". Alas, after few hours of fighting with the damned things I couldn’t make Unarmed Weapons interact with True Primary Secondaries properly so I gave up and switched to sword. And here we are.

LOW RNG?:
Simply speaking instead of RNG heavy approach normal Amalgamation specializations take, with big decks throwing in random abilities at each rank, this spec is built with the approach that ability list should be ideally static, with random ability decks being used only if it makes thematically sense.

IS IT BALANCED:
Eh, should be fine. Stormrider’s abilities are well balanced I’d say.

DEETS:
Squaddie gets Windcaller’s Legacy.
Corporal gets Intercept.
Sergeant gets Blitz Kick.
Lieutenant gets Riposte.
Captain gets Shockwave.
Major gets Windcaller’s Fury.
Colonel gets Concussive Blows.
Brigadier gets Thunderdome.

THANKS:
Thanks and credits go to Iridar for his Stormrider mod, Musashi for True Primary Secondaries, as well to anyone else who’s work I might have used as basis or "perk pack".
