Bushido
Bushido is the trademark skill of the Samurai of the Tokuno Islands in Ultima Online, although everyone can learn it. A Book of Bushido is needed to do the special moves, as well as having a certain amount of Bushido (battle honor), it therefore directly ties in with the virtue of Honor. Having the Parrying skill allows the warrior to block with the sword itself.
A Samurai with 50 Bushido or above may activate the Perfection system by honoring a target creature. This grants a damage bonus dependant on consecutive hits. At 90 skill, it becomes possible to use Bushido in place of Animal Taming for the purpose of controlling and riding Lesser Hiryus.
