Warrior-Ministering Spirit
An unyielding mountain of unfaltering strength. Harness the Warrior’s martial mastery and unlock the Ministering Spirit’s protective Spiritual Effects. Manifest and wield powerful spiritual weapons, enhanced by the Ministering Spirit’s unshakable strength of will.
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.
