This entry presents example soldier characters, a fairly broad category. These particular soldiers are intended to be generic infantry - opening with thrown spears while closing for melee combat with shields. There will almost certainly be some more specific flavors in the future, to mix and match, or introduce a leader.
The combat challenge they represent isn't as finely tuned as an equivalent creature, due to being built like a character, rather than a creature. Also, the list of skills is not intended to be exhausive. As a specific note for Maneuver: there is an optional method presented for use to simplify things at the table and reduce rolling overall.
All example characters are assumed to be human as a default. However, at the end racial templates are provided. The goal for applying the templates is not complete verisimilitude, but to maintain a rough equivalence between them. Emphasis on rough.
As well, their equipment can be exchanged for whatever is most appropriate for the setting. No blood charms or healing aids have been included - keeping it simple is the goal.
If there are any non-magical archetypes that would be valuable, leave a comment and let me know. As well with comments on the content and format. This is less an exercise in playing with the system and more about making something useful for the community.
