Battle

A rating in this Skill shows a firm grasp of the rules of battle and the capability to maneuver appropriately when involved in a violent confrontation. The BATTLE Skill can be used to gain an advantage when fighting against a group of foes, or leading a company of troops in open battle and maintaining order in the midst of chaos (individual fighting talents are covered by Combat Proficiencies in Chapter 4).
