.: Help for rally

The rally command calls out an inspiring shout that
steadies the defenses of you and your allies. All friendly
characters in the room receive a temporary bonus to their
ability to dodge, parry, and block incoming attacks.

Requirements:

  - Cannot be used if special move cooldown is active

Usage:

  rally
  Shout an inspiring call to bolster defenses

Affects:

  - You (the caster)
  - Your companions in the room
  - Party members in the room and their companions

Mechanics:

  Effect: Improves dodge, parry, and block
  Duration: Moderate
  Scaling: Rhetoric skill and Charisma
  Cooldown: Shared with bash, trip, kick, and taunt
  Skill: Progresses Rhetoric and Charisma

Rally spends Conviction and requires full payment before any ally receives the
effect. Rhetoric lowers the price; carried load does not
affect this act of will. If you cannot muster the resolve, no cooldown or buff
is consumed.

Rally can be used before combat begins, making it useful
for pre-buffing before engaging a tough enemy. Higher Rhetoric
skill and Charisma increase the potency of the effect.
