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.
