New abilities: Red-Aurochs Chaser replaced with Physical Education, a strong buff to various defensive stats. 6th level capstone added: All Nighter. Every 100 turns, you can put everything within 100 steps of you to sleep. Debuffs their magic resist first, so it'll always work, and also debuffs their defensive stats for 32 turns just to keep them from dodging in their sleep. Yes, this means you should basically find everything you meet asleep unless you do something to wake it up.

It is about time someone made something like this. Thank you Essence. That capstone alone makes the skill worth the points.
