Game mechanics

• Paragons gain energy instantly whenever they activate a chant or friendly shout.
  • Animal companions and summoned creatures also trigger the energy gain.
  • In contrast, Miniatures have no effect on the energy gain, because they are never affected by shouts or chants.
• Leadership skills tend to help build adrenaline, reduce or prevent damage, or increase attack or movement speeds. Several Leadership skills inflict burning or provide a benefit that depends on foes that are burning.
• The Paragon of Leadership blessing increases Leadership by 1, even if your character's primary profession is not Paragon.
• Leadership is one of the attributes that are used as requirement for shields.
