I note that "Can heal him" isn't specified in the list of abilities - presumably it does this at the rating you have for Dragonpoint under Equipment?

I'd not considered it before, but it does make sense - Since all Warriors were previously riders it would seem strange if they suddenly forgot all their skills - particularly Scan for Danger - "Oh, I'm a real man now, I don't need to look for danger, that's what those young riders are for. Mind you, I must be going soft in my old age, I used to be able to sleep for hours in my sadle, but these days, give me a comfy four-poster bed any day..."
