Warrior-Minstrel
Merge martial might and musical magnificence. Boldly wield a Warrior’s skill in battle while singing Minstrel songs to embolden your allies or crush the spirits of the serpent’s seed. Each swing of your weapon and each inspiring verse compose a victorious symphony.
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%.

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.
