A knight's study into strategy tells them almost immediately that a leader must defend a group's weaker, softer members. However, just standing between the enemy and those you wish to protect is rarely enough. Many creatures and most people have some kind of ranged attack, usually a spell, to strike at distant targets. Knights study this skill to look for the warning signs of ranged attacks against a specific member in his party, and attempt to intercept them, blocking them with his own body. Not every spell can be intercepted. Area spells and touch spells, for example, cannot be blocked, nor can most curses. However, most single-target attack spells can be blocked. Training in both leadership and rescue is crucial for this skill to work.Syntax: use elite guard at <party member> use elite guard [ to stop ]
