Combat veteran Combat veterans are experienced and battle - hardened warlord s who have been through perils that should have killed them and lived to tell the tale . As a result , combat veterans have a measure of training earned not through study or practice , but actual experience on the battlefield , giving them an unusually improvised methodology that has proven very effective at keeping them alive . While combat veterans might not be as inspirational in a purely charismatic way as some warlords , they exude confidence in their men just by the very fact that , no matter what the world has thrown at them , the combat veteran still stands ready for battle . Abilities . Combat veterans have learned the hard way how to survive in battle and the techniques they ’ ve developed from direct combat experience reflect this . Combat veterans early on learn to keep their soldiers moving and out of danger , barking out a movement order on the spur of the moment . Combat veterans are also more durable , their bodies acclimatized to the perils of combat . As such , combat veterans more frequently recover from their wounds than most other warrior s as well as healing more quickly . All combat veterans also gain , as a result , at least a rudimentary knowledge of battlefield medicine , which they use to help allies stave off ill effects during combat , particularly in concert with their " inspiring word " exploit . The exploits of a combat veteran rely more on internalized knowledge of combat than knowledge learned out of a book . For instance , " skirmish ploy " is a technique used by combat veterans to daze a foe and then thrust the injured enemy into the path of an ally , quickening the damage dealt to the foe . " Superior tactics " is another example , built upon the wealth of experience that a long - lived combat veteran has , which allows a combat veteran to take advantage of an enemy ’ s weakness for both the foe ’ s ill and the the allies of the combat veteran ’ s good fortune , inspiring them to rapid action .
