===The Martial Order===

Unlike the other orders, the martial order has no spells to speak of. Instead, training in the martial order grants you access to special merits called 'techniques'. These special merits function fundamentally the same as any other merit, however, they cost slightly more at new dots x 3. The list of techniques are as follows.

<p ALIGN="LEFT"> <SPAN LANG="en-US"><strong>Effect</strong></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-US">:  Once per encounter, you can initiate this technique to quickly strike  all opponents within melee range. Each attack is rolled separately, dealing 2 dice less damage on each attack after the first. Armor and defense apply normally. Executing this technique leaves you  vulnerable, causing you to lose your defense bonus until the  beginning of your next turn.</SPAN><br><br>
