Martial Practices inferior to Rituals????

I think I will design with the Feat in place ---> with a house rule option of making both rituals or practices accessible by anyone with the proper skill trained.
For the house rule to work the ones that let you learn as though you had them will need to provide pre-learned rituals or practices and or cost free castings (if they are not creation type rites though perhaps reduced cost maybe).

Right, so just do the same for warlords.

I do not know if I will make any that require a specific "class"
Maybe some recommended ones like Battle Signs (if its a practice it may be a minor GMT) or Blood Bond. (comrades succor reflavored)?

but pretty sure the martial artist class will get transcendental meditation free.

OK another comparison....
Embalm vs Gentle Repose.

Embalm seems an Alchemy... my imagination isnt coming up with a decent martial practice

And what in bloody are we doing with the Healing surge in this cost.... keeping the body warm with the heat of yours????

Trying to figure out the verbage for the Martial Affliction removal Practice.

Surgery : Healing
You repair a longterm protracted physical impairment from injuries with stitches and medical techniques which can include removing the pressures on a brain or eye injury which are causing insanity or blindness can straighten miss-healed bones to allow the lame to move without impairment

A fully gone eye can be replaced only cosmetically but sometimes pressures on the back of the eye might be relieved to restore functionality if the eye wasnt destroyed.

This art can replace a lost foot well enough that with a little practice even that would be un-impairing although a lost leg or hand/arm would be less satisfying without special Warforged or Animated magical components.

Psychiatry :Insight or Healing

You can treat a mental impairment with no physical cause, including extremes of ptsd, and undo psychosomatic illness and disease. psychiatry may affect some magical impairments at DMs discretion. Although I am thinking the above could be used to remove the affliction caused by Blood Demand or Blood Oath.

These are going to be lower level LEVEL 4 than the remove affliction ritual which is LEVEL 8 in part because I am certain it will be of more limited application

Afflictions are kind of un-developed anyway. (but this could be good for story situations)

I forgot I can make Advanced Surgery and Psychiatry separate practices

One can be healing and physical based and the other insight and psychological

More thoughts - there may be afflictions which are extreme enough to not be ended by these, they may only be temporarily suspended and require repeated treatments. (Works well for psychiatric)

I know too much thinking about a martial analog for a little used remove affliction ritual. I definitely need more affliction infliction/creation effects.
