At the outset of battle you may choose to activate either a virtue, essentially a self-buff that benefits your character in some way, or an oath, which benefits not only yourself but also any allies within 0.5” per current Honor. Characters may assign a ‘default’ oath or virtue that will be assumed to apply automatically when entering a battle if no Oath or Virtue is stated. This must be clearly indicated on a character sheet.
