While it is true that leadership is the primary skill of TLs, weapon skill is required not only for self defence, but to gain the confidence and respect of their troops.

At the risk of diluting the above point, some possible solutions:

* small chance of gaining appropriate skill during a training session, which is gold and time inefficient compared to academy.

* tweak battle skill gains. I think a character who fights a reasonable battle every week should have the appropriate skill around 50%, not ~20 as it is now.

A TL needs self defence neither more or less then any other class. I don't buy the respect of soldiers bit though. If they don't respect you for your noble heritage that sets you apart from mere normal men, then they are never going to respect you and also should probably be strung up from a tree.

Also recall that a defining feature of the Hero class is they fight from the front. This increases the chance they will be wounded as they actually get into the thick of the fighting habitually. This would imply that other character classes tend to avoid actual combat if they can, or at least the real gritty stuff.
