Avoid Wounds enables a hero to reduce the damage he takes when hit in a combat. For each week of practice, the hero reduces the damage he will take when hit in combat by 2%, to a maximum reduction of 80%.
The hero may only use this skill when he is alone. If he has any other men or fighting beasts in his inventory (even if they are not involved in the battle or have been killed in earlier combat rounds) he cannot concentrate on avoiding wounds. However, he is permitted to be stacked with other nobles.
