I'd really rather go with a skill for it.I have done what you're talking about, though, in a slightly different context.  I allow BAB+Int rolls to determine the particular fighting style an opponent is using.  It doesn't get you bonuses to hit them, but it helps you realize you're fighting a Southlander Duelist, known for using poison and invisible allies... Or BAB+Wis to notice that someone is fighting at less than full strength just by crossing blades with them.  Or BAB+Cha in the place of Intimidate when trying to scare someone away from you in mid-combat.Excellent point.  I would argue back that we're both right -- they did badly because they had little field training (as you said), and their tactical training didn't cover the situation (as I said).  And also probably because they didn't get their squads behind them.  Wasn't a common cause of death for some of the worst LJGs "accidental friendly fire"?An argument against sending an Exp1 with max'd out ranks in Strategy and expecting him to lead a bunch of mid-level Fighters, Rangers, and Rogues.-Tacky</blockquote>
