Likewise, if you rehearse in the arctic circle for a cold weather mission, you might use the study to buy off a penalty for cold hands when lockpicking, etc.
That's a spot-on ruling for how rehearsal might interact with combat. Avoids the rathole of "I bought the fancy pajamas, when do I kick ass?"
