Tri-Messenger
Tri-Messengers feature the speed and social abilities of the Messenger while bringing in the martial mastery of the Warrior and the impactful Spiritual Effects of the Ministering Spirit.
Special Abilities
Warriors excel in the use of practiced Maneuvers. When using a learned Maneuver, Martial Mastery grants Warriors a bonus to Precision (or Guard, whichever is applicable) equal to the Mastery Level of the Maneuver.
Martial Mobility allows the Warrior to remain somewhat mobile while in Defensive Stance. Each Turn they are in Defensive Stance, they can perform one Maneuver without halving the distance travelled. Alternatively, they can add 1" (unhalved) to a single Move during that Turn. (Martial Mobility cannot allow the character to exceed the distance they would have travelled without Defensive Stance.)
Strength in Struggle reflects the Warrior’s toughness by reducing damage related to Strikes received by 10% for a Multi-Order Warrior. Damage related to Strikes dealt by a Multi-Order Warrior is increased by 10%.

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.

Progression
As Tri-Messengers progress, they will primarily grow in their Social Attributes, but will also improve their mastery of Martial Maneuvers and Spiritual Effects.
Each new Rank a Tri-Messenger will gain:
- +2 to their Primary Attribute (Rank:40+ increases 7 instead)
- +1 to their Secondary Attribute (Rank:40+ increases 3 instead)
- 12 Seeds of Growth (Rank:40+ adds 40 Seeds instead, 7 in Primary and Secondary, 12 at random, and 14 assigned how you like)

- Rank:12 (Tier:2) = 3 Social Points
- Rank:24 (Tier:3) = 4 Social Points
- Rank:40 (Tier:4) = 5 Social Points
