Tri-Minstrel

Tri-Minstrels feature the passionate music of the Minstrel 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%.

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.

Minstrels are prolific persuaders and can employ their Boundless Spark to make more frequent attempts to influence others. Multi-Order Minstrels may perform two Social Interactions in one of their Turns each Cycle.

  • +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)
  • 1 Social Point
Irregular Gains:
  • 1 Maneuver Point for two Ranks, then 2 Maneuver Points
  • 0 Spiritual Effects, then 1 Spiritual Effect
  • 0 Songs, then 1 Song for two Ranks
