Command

Skill, Combat

Lead large bodies of troops.

From the book

Command is the ability to lead large bodies of fighters in battle. When first learned, a character can lead one follower for each point of Charisma they have. That number then doubles with every level of ability the character gains after acquiring the skill, so an experienced commander can soon direct a sizeable force.

It costs only 500 XP, but like other combat skills it takes 1-3 months to develop, and characters outside the fighting professions must learn it from a qualified instructor.
