While Warfare can be used to study tactics and strategy, it can also be used in the specific cases to study a creature specifically. Making a Warfare Assessment is a Minor action and can be done during combat. It can not be done outside of combat, unless the creature specifcally is engaged in combat.

Depending on the roll of the die and the DL of the creature, which is determined by its rarity, obscurity or other aspect that makes it hard to assess, a Warfare Assessment can let you know the following features of a creature.
