The Ronin is a masterless warrior, wandering space searching for a new purpose. They have experience with blades through the Dueling and Martial Arts skills and can silently kill enemies with Stealth and Concealment. When there's no need for fighting, you can simply scare enemies away with Intimidation.
The Ronin still needs to keep in shape with Physical Skills like Wellness, Gymnastics, and Fitness.You also have Boost Pack Training for added mobility in all types of situation. For sustain, Rejuvenation partners well with your stealth skills as you can heal while you're hiding.
As a lone warrior, you will benefit a lot from the damage and toughness coming from Isolation. It's also wise to consider skills that will help outside of combat such as Scavenging and Surveying.

Best Weapons: Weapon Tier List
Since you'll be fighting up close most of the time, you'll want to invest in armor that can reduce all types of damage to survive.
 Alien DNA |
You volunteered for a controversial experiment that combines alien and human DNA. As a result, you start with increased health and oxygen, but healing and food items aren't as effective. |
|---|---|
 Introvert |
You really need your alone time. Exerting yourself uses less oxygen when adventuring alone, but more when adventuring with other human companions, (Can't be combined with Extrovert.) |
 Neon Street Rat |
You grew up on the mean streets of Neon. You gain access to special dialogue options, and better rewards from some missions on Neon. Crime bounty by other factions is greatly increased. (Can't be combined with any other faction allegiance trait.) |
A Ronin with the Introvert trait works best alone since this reduces oxygen consumption. Picking Neon Street Rat or other faction traits can give you better rewards for completing their missions, although you'll need to deal with the bounty from different factions. Alien DNA will give you the advantage of having higher health and oxygen, which is a great advantage in combat.
| Starting Skills | Description |
|---|---|
|
Stealth |
For a combatant who values discretion above all else, the ability to approach a target while undetected and kill with a silenced weapon is as terrifying as it is effective. |
|
Dueling |
Considered by many to be a lost art, close attacks with a melee weapon can often be deadlier than ranged combat when carried out by a skilled practitioner. |
|
Scavenging |
There are those who can find just about anything, and their success is usually dependent on knowing how, and where, to look. |
| Ronin Flavor Text |
|---|
| Masterless and unbound, you wandered the Settled Systems as a blade for hire. To some, you were a simple mercenary. To others, a hero. And to a select few...a nightmare they could never wake from. |
