 These apply solely to offensive combat ability, meaning the recipient does not gain additional [[Hit Points|hit points]], [[Saving Throws|saving throws]], [[Weapon Proficiencies|proficiencies]], [[Spellcasting|spellcasting]] or [[Sage Ability|sage abilities]] — but the spell potentially allows a 2nd level character to gain the [[Multiple Attacks|multiple attacks per round]] of a 4th or better level fighter.
-Those affected also gain 2 points of [[Strength (ability stat)|strength]] — or by 20% for those with an 18 Strength.  A character with a 16 strength would be increased to 18 (+1+2) while a 17 strength would increase to 18/10 (+1+3).  This strength benefit applies to strength [[Ability Checks|ability checks]].  Non-fighter characters gain the full effects of these strength benefits.

 Non-levelled characters affected by the spell will temporarily fight as a 2nd level fighter, regardless of their previous combat training. This grants them the THAC0 and offensive capability of a trained warrior, allowing even unskilled individuals to engage in battle with increased effectiveness.

-Recipients must remain within 4 combat hexes (20 feet) of the caster to retain its benefits, as the spell relies on the caster's presence to bolster their ability.

 '''Accompaniment''' is a spell that enables the increase of a combatant's combat ability by two levels, so long as the recipient is of equal or lesser level than the caster. Regardless of the recipient's [[Character Class|class]], their adjusted [[THAC0]] is counted as that of a [[Fighter (class)|fighter]] — so that a 3rd level [[Mage (class)|mage]] affected by the spell would fight as a 5th level fighter.  The spell can be applied to the caster's self, gaining these same benefits.
