Bearing of the Warrior

How a character bears themselves – the way they inherently think, act, and organize/develop their capabilities – can have a huge impact on both roleplaying and the mechanics of the game. These are reflected in the aptitude talents that they possess.

Optimal Requirements: (Always a Minimum Kinetic Aptitude 1) Depending on Pathway and/or Calling.

Measures of Bearing

Assuming a character meets the Optimal Requirements, they gain an option of three capabilities that reflect their depth of commitment to their outlook.
