Granted Abilities
1st Level: Astral Awareness (permanent) - The deep and fanatical faith of the Brothers-Militant-at-Shield is blessed by the Power of Mandador, granting them extraordinary spiritual awareness. Therefore, they may see glimpses into the spiritual plane, and as they rise in power and faith, their spiritual sight may grow until at the height of their powers they saw all the spiritual world around them, always. Blessed with this ability, these monks-militant may see the spirits of the undead if they lurk near them in the spiritual planes of the Ethereal and Astral.
1st Level: St. Traldor's Blow (once/day) - The monastic warrior may call upon the rage of St. Traldor once per day with the simplest of prayers, empowering his hand for a single attack. The attack receives a +3 bonus both to hit and to damage, and raises the dice rolled for damage by a factor of two (e.g. a war hammer is rolled as 2d4+1 instead of 1d4+1). Natural 17s, 18s and 19s are considered natural 20s for purposes of the attack. Regardless of whether the blow lands or misses, the war-monk may only use this power on a single attack per day, adding a 1 to the initiative of the weapon to pray for the added power of his Order's founding saint. If a natural 2 is rolled, even if the weapon hits successfully, roll vs. crushing blow to see if the weapon is destroyed in the attack.
