As I understand the original question: The doubled character is a target of a kidnap/assassination, not guarding athird character. In that instance, I believe the attacking agent gets no freebie.

skill is reduced. Did they ever compile this type of data in the Mouth?
Simply cut the skill in half or so if the character/pop in question is of
nation X. Thus, he'll fail orders more often and results of guarding will
be less stellar than his real levels would lead you to expect. For every
rationalization, there has to be an algorithm programmed into a relatively
simple computer that makes some sort of sense, no?Brad Brunet
