Ritual morale building

Base Arete is rolled, then Breakfast adds 2 AP (4 for Thracians); Hieres (formal sacrifice) requires rolling a target number by situation, with the number of tries setting the AP gained or lost; Rhetoria rolls on an oratory table by nationality or Crafty character. In play, singing the Paean after an approach signal rolls on the Paean table (Spartans instead roll Grim Resolve to drain enemy AP), and the Sphagia goat sacrifice is rolled when the first charge is declared.

There are two opportunities available to artificially add to an army’s Arete level: During the pre game Preparation segment - (Breakfast, Hieres, Rhetoria), And during battle - (Singing the Paean, and Sphagia).
