One of the most overlooked aspects of combat is the fact that most warriors are mortal creatures - that is, they are organic beings, creatures of flesh. The flesh has many limitations, which can hold it back in battle - and more importantly, can be exploited by a skilled warrior. Practitioners of the Organic Repast discipline take this one step further, and tailor their techniques to maximize the disadvantages of the mortal form - poison and disease are common tools. Yet the Organic Repast also celebrates the beauty and resilience of life - its dynamic balance, resilience, and many paradoxes. Soft yet sturdy, flexible yet structured, solid yet hollow - a living being is a marvel to be celebrated. Reshar was disgusted by this discipline's tendency to utilize poison and disease, feeling that the use of these ravaging forces undermined the purity of combat. But the Organic Repast sees things differently. Poison and disease are weapons, just like a sword or an axe - much more subtle and slower to work, but perhaps even more powerful. And like any weapon, a skilled warrior must be able to defend himself against them - and to use them to their fullest potential.
