Increasing Discipline

Discipline is hard to raise, and may take months to increase enough to make a difference to your slave's performance unless you assign them to daily drilling by a skilled guard Captain or an Educator. Slave receive a small boost to their Discipline increase chance if they are Broken / Devoted (Willpower 0 or lower), or a Soulmate; devotion toward a master makes a slave more prone to build on their attributes. As always, make sure they are not Depressed.

• Guard Duty: Having an NPC work as a Household Guard, as long as you have them under the command of a Guard Captain, gives a daily chance of +1 increase (cap: 80). The daily % chance = 150 - (Captain skill +/- modifiers), -20 if Discipline 50+.
• Training: An Educator has a daily chance of increasing the Discipline of NPCs assigned to them by +1, up to the level of their own Discipline (cap: 100). The daily % chance = (Educator Discipline - target's Discipline), IF the Educator makes a successful Education roll that day. So effectively, chance of +1 = difference in Discipline, x Educator's modified daily success chance, cap = lowest of 100 or Educator's Discipline.
