By practicing this skill, a noble studies various combat tactics that will increase the attack effectiveness of the men he commands in combat.
Upon learning this skill, a noble has an attack multiplier of 1.0. With each PRACTICE, the multiplier is increased by 0.02, to a maximum of 2.0. In combat, the attack rating of all units under this noble's direct command will be multiplied by the attack multiplier. This bonus applies in all phases of combat (i.e., melee, missile and special attacks).
For example, a swordsman with an attack rating of 15 commanded by a noble with an attack multiplier of 1.56 would attack with an effective attack rating of 23.40.
Attack ratings are rounded to the nearest hundredth.
