E.2.10: Defense Tactics [9596]


Usage:  Automatic
Time to learn: 28 days.
Time to practice: 7 days.

By practicing this skill, a noble studies various combat tactics that will increase the defense effectiveness of the men he commands in combat.

Upon learning this skill, a noble has an defense multiplier of 1.0. With each PRACTICE, the multiplier is increased by 0.02, to a maximum of 2.0. In combat, the defense rating of all units under this noble's direct command will be multiplied by the defense multiplier.

For example, a pikeman with an defense rating of 20 commanded by a noble with an defense multiplier of 1.56 would defend with an effective defense rating of 31.20.

Defense ratings are rounded to the nearest hundredth.
