= NPC Combat Trainer (Battle Trainer) =

The Battle Trainer is a custom combat NPC located in Ashford Newbie Town on the Hopelands map, designed to help players train their combat skills.

== 1. General Features ==
* '''Training Skills:''' Players can attack this NPC to train Wrestling, Swordsmanship, Fencing, Macing, Archery, and Throwing.
* '''Skill Level Cap:''' Training is supported all the way to 120.0 (Legendary) skill points.

== 2. Skill Gain & Difficulty Mechanics ==
* '''NPC Stats:''' The trainer's combat weapon and wrestling skills are set to 120.0.
* '''Challenge Enforcement:''' Because hit chance is calculated using the target's defense skill, setting the NPC's skill to 120.0 ensures players always face a challenge. This bypasses the "No Challenge" check in ServUO, allowing smooth and constant skill gains at all levels.
