Given the current structure of the game as I understand it (please correct me if I'm wrong), the only two things that Glitches can do to halt a rook attack require either Martial Imagination or Piety (or both). What happens to characters without such skills who might be present in these cases? I ask this mainly because, unlike all other skills, it would seem that these skills (and any prerequisites) would essentially be mandatory, if only for self-defense. Previous to this, no other skill seemed to be required for "safe" exploration of the world, even though many skills enhance one's ability to actually play within it.
Of course, I may be wrong about my understanding of either rook attacks or these particular skills, in which case, I would appreciate being told this.
