Special Abilities
Situational Awareness reduces the cost to improve all Social Attributes by 1 (to a minimum of 1).
Trained Eye lets a Messenger choose a Target to watch. The Messenger must pass a Perceive Interaction vs. the Target (with a Difficulty of 0) and will then have certain benefits against the Target. The Messenger ignores any Guard the Target gains from Defensive Stance. The Messenger also gains 1 Adjustment in their favor vs. any Strike made by the Target or when making Check Rolls and Resist Checks vs. the Target.
The Messenger may attempt to establish Trained Eye only once per Turn. The Messenger may drop the current Target to attempt to watch a new Target. If the Messenger loses line of sight with the Target for an extended time, Trained Eye may be lost.

Ministering Sprits can use their strength of will to protect themselves. Resolute Stability allows the Ministering Spirit to ignore Falter:1 each time Falter is applied to them. It also allows them to ignore one Defensive Hit being caused to them. It also reduces damage related to Strikes received by 10% for a Multi-Order Ministering Spirit. The damage will always be reduced by at least 1.
All Falter from a Strike is totaled and applied at once. If a Strike causes Knock Back, any Falter from the Knock Back is applied separately.
