-Only a small amount of training is required per student, about '''6 hours per week'''.  In giving this training, one instructor is limited to managing up to 80 students per week (requiring 60 hours).  Each group managed numbers eight persons who are trained in 2 to 3 hour time periods, who are then dismissed for a new group to be trained.
+Each student requires only a modest amount of training, approximately six hours per week. To facilitate this instruction, an instructor can handle a group of up to 80 students per week, which amounts to 60 hours of instruction. These students are divided into smaller groups of eight individuals, with each group undergoing training in 2 to 3 hour intervals before being replaced by a new batch.
-Once a week's training has occurred, the student makes a [[Constitution (ability stat)|constitution]] [[Ability Checks|check]].  If successful, the commoner improves as a combatant; if the check fails, however, no improvement occurs — and there is a 1 in 4 chance of the commoner refusing to continue the training.  Those who continue may receive further training the next week.
+Following a week's worth of training, the student makes a [[Constitution (ability stat)|constitution]] [[Ability Checks|check]].  If the check proves successful, the commoner advances in combat prowess.  However, if the check fails, no improvement occurs, and there's a 25% chance that the commoner may refuse to continue training. Those who persevere may receive further training in the subsequent week.
-Once the commoner has succeeded six times, he or she becomes a "[[Comrade (non-player character)|comrade]]," or hardened commoner.  In the interim, however, even some training is a benefit should the commoner be required to fight.  As a reminder, commoners typically have one die for [[Hit Points|hit points]] (d6 or d8), zero [[Experience (X.P.)|experience]], a [[Morale|morale]] of 10, a -6 [[Weapon Proficiencies|non-proficiency penalty]] with anything except a familiar work tool (causing 1-4 damage), and an inability to use [[Armour List|armour]].

 __TOC__
 In the societal hierarchy of the game world, it's rare for commoners to have the chance to acquire these skills, except when a realm becomes desperate militarily.  When the opportunity is given, the likelihood of commoners stepping forward to participate ranges from 80% to 95%. This probability is determined by rolling a four-sided die (1d4), multiplying the result by 5, and then adding 75%.
