I'm considering adding the following two rules. Comments are welcome.

Teaching at the Military Academy
A member of the cult of Lhankor Mhy may as a weekly order teach at the Military Academy. The teacher gains 1CP/20 CHA worth of students, and keeps half of the fees (student's course fee/number of weeks/2). The teacher's Battle must be higher than the student's, or nothing will be learnt.

Please note that this allows raising your Battle higher than 6, if a teacher with Battle 7+ can be found.

Only one course can be held each week. If multiple teachers attempt to run a course in the same week, then the teacher with the highest cult rank gets priority. If of the same cult rank, then the highest military rank, then CHA, then Battle. If stilla tie, by duel.


Master of the Military Academy
A military appointment.

Rank: Lt General or higher (military appointments normally require the specific rank)
Min CHA 10
Special: Battle, Lhankor Mhy
#: 1
Appointed by: High Priest of Lhankor Mhy
CP: 14
Inf: 5
1D6: 6
Pay: 10
Notes: The Master of the Military Academy need not be present for courses to be held. However, if the post is vacant, no courses can be held. The Battle skill of the Master is the upper limit for how high you can train your skill at the Academy.

Please note that this allows raising your Battle higher than 6, if a Master with Battle 7+ is appointed.

This looks like a good addition, and a nice incentive to join the cult of Lankhor Mhy.

I forgot:

Members of the cult of Lhankor Mhy with Battle 5+ can in a second week of cult duties help as an assistant at the Military Academy and gain 0,1 Battle.

Sounds good.

The 0.1 Battle seems a very small incentive. Could they have some small payment as well?

Or maybe make it 0.25?

At the moment there is no way to tell what another character's Battle skill is (no matter what the results at the front may have been), and hence whether you can learn anything from him or her. Would it be permitted to 'advertise', or perhaps the priests of Lhankhor Mhy would give some indication?

And I would suggest that a teaching assistant gets 0.25 on an application for a Miltary appointment (his or someone else's), bringing it into line with the study of Homeland Lore which is the alternative for LM cultists.

I'm inclined to agree with this, instead of an increase in Battle skill. We could call it Military Lore, which would function exactly like Homeland Lore, but for military appointments.
