Brigadier Recruit

[sorry]

I've recruited a brigadier that I captured from Torus quest. In a glance they're quite interesting. On top giving a passive buff to share guard between member, their faction passive skills should be good. Unfortunately, when I play around a bit I found two main disappointment which is

1. their guard-buff passive doesn't affect animal's guard even using plate pony, so sadly there will be no 55% guard bear.
2. they don't have their faction skill

is there anyone having the same experience or is it a bug?

Prisoners recruited into your group never have any faction skills. So not a bug.

Nope they do.
Skills are given by equipment not faction.
- get their equipment and you will have their skills

Traits are random, as usual.

Talents are within their talent tree. Prisoners are very limited in what talents they can choose. I have seen only linear developement, no choices to make there.

Faction bonuses are simply that: FACTION BONUSES, so you can not get them when you are not part of their faction.

Leader auras are on the level of superheroes. I dont think any of them is obtainable as for the most part, any of them would make the player instantly overpowered by many levels.
e. g. : double movement, +40 crit hit chance, free attacks of oportunity on the end of turn from simply standing near enemy, etc... I dont like this, as it being only on the side of the NPC makes it look like playing against cheaters but I guess its the limitation of the engine, so NPC brains insuficiency is balanced out by irational boosts so that players can face surrealistic chalenges within the presented world.
