[Snake]

If I were to change Encourage, I would make it grant statistics instead of statuses.

I.E:

Encourage
Range: 1 (+ 1 per 2 Skill Rank)

'Encourage' enhances the Youkai with (Rank LV * 4)% Bonus Damage, Damage Reduction, Critical, Hit and Evade for 3 rounds.

If the Youkai is inflicted with Fear, the buff is removed. (If used on a Youkai with Fear, they are cured of Fear instead and receive a 2 round immunity to the status.)
