[in response to attaching the ability to a skill] The morale multiplier would go unnoticed at best, and at worst it would drop off to reapply, effectively dealing 10% morale damage to all your allies whenever you press the skill. So, not the most exciting possibilities."
Though I sort of agree to some extent that removing something that has been around for awhile is definitely going to upset people. Personally, you have no idea the number of times someone shouts out in the group, "Is there a human captain somewhere? I want to see how high my morale can go with Motivating Speech and Duty Bound."
Yep, for now, I just want to make it less onerous to keep Motivate applied. Longer-term, we want to mitigate the impact of Motivate being a captain-only effect.
