Tom's good catch lead to the following updates to Battle Cry and Despair - these have been fixed above, and are repeated here for clarity.
Battle Cry
This skill allows the character to inspire a group of people who are ready for battle. Anyone who hears the call of this skill and is a direct ally of the character who calls it is suddenly inspired to heroic feats and can either add two to her normal weapon damage for the duration of the current battle or negate the effect of the skill Despair, if she is currently afflicted by it.
Despair
Anyone who hears the call of this skill and is not a direct ally of the character who calls it is suddenly overwhelmed with a feeling of despair. This skill negates the effect of the skill Battle Cry if a victim is currently benefiting from it, or it weakens the victim, requiring her to subtract two from her normal weapon damage for the duration of the current battle.
All of these skills will be entered into the Online Rulebook later tonight.
