Martial Discipline (sage study)

Mastery at Arms is a sage study in the field of LeadershipIncreases the combat advantage of characters in combat, enabling persons to engage the enemy with greater maneuverability, order and with the use of tactical formations. The ability enables a commander to organize combat trained units with sufficient commanders to order up in lines, columns, squares and wedges. Operating in close order formations, with more than one combatant per combat hex, is also a part of the discipline's training.

On the whole, persons without military discipline act as 'skirmishers,' open order formations that harass an enemy but are not essentially defensive in their arrangement. Military discipline is intended as a study that changes the way that combatants operate with each other, in tandem, rather than giving benefits to specific fighting abilities.
