At the end of every turn, a list is compiled of the most proficient warriors.
Each combat skill that your character has acquired will add to you total. Combat skills you know at the basic level will get you a score equal to your skills points. At the advanced level, each combat skill add twice your skill points. Thrice for each expert skill, 4 times for master and 5 times at grandmaster.
E.g. if you have the sword skill at 5 skill points and the advanced level, and the shield skill at 3 skill points and the basic level, your total score will be: 5 x 2 + 3 x 1 = 13.
