[Skills help] rallying cry Syntax: rally Well trained leaders are essential on the battlefield and there is no better trained in the arts of war than a mercenary. Through tactical directions and sheer personal magnetism, a mercenary has the ability to exert his warband to greater efforts by performing a rallying cry. A rally can only be performed while in a group and only while fighting or shortly after combat in preparation for another fight. The rally immediately improves the combat prowess of every member of the party, but it only lasts for a short time. There is no limit to the number of times a merc can rally his party, but each use requires exertion. Rally will not work on those in a berserk or frenzied state. See also: berserk frenzy
