Like an Acrobatics ritual that allows you to fall a great distance into a body of water without inury...I guess this would be like Endure Elements in that the ritual is "cast" when you anticipate bad weather...or in this case falling into a river.The idea is that the 8 hours spent mastering the ritual is physical exercise, for example practicing cliff-diving. To be fair, a couple rituals are based off of Heal. Also, there is historical precedent for german fighting texts dating to the 1400s as well as "De Re Militaria" guides for feuding princes, so it's possible to use History for a couple martial rituals (or whatever we call tem).That's why I agree martial rituals should shy away from providing combat bonuses and need to focus on nifty tricks outside of combat. Some of those parkour videos got me thinking about rituals useful in a chase.</blockquote>
