Squires

Each Accolade has Squires Aptitude metric, which modifies the Traits and Skills (principally, Prowess Skill, Martial Skill and Hastiluder Trait Experience) of its next Acclaimed Knight.

There are 5 levels of Aptitude for Squires:

• Accomplished

• Capable

• Inexperienced

• Feckless

• Pathetic

Having an Aptitude of Inexperienced or higher will cause the Acclaimed Knight to sporadically influence the Traits and Skills of young, martial-gender Courtiers, giving them priority to assume the Accolade upon Accolade Succession

Squires are principally improved by Glory gain, but also:

• The Acclaimed Knight's Prowess Skill

• The Acclaimed Knight's Martial Skill'

• The Acclaimed Knight gaining Hastiluder Trait Experience

• The Acclaimed Knight gaining Aspiring Blademaster Trait Experience

• The Martial Skill of the Accolade's Liege

• The Prowess Skill of the Accolade's Liege

Each Accolade Succession resets the Accolade's Squires.
