Category:Soldiers

While many Archers are free-roaming individualists communing with nature and not above hugging the occasional tree, some of the more populous races put those talents to work in a more disciplined, rigid, military capacity. Soldiers lose out on some of the's wilderness survival skills, being mostly trained to defend castles and other developed areas, but gain some unique new ones in return. Their discipline makes them skilled leaders, and they can even impart some of their skills to other group-mates. Many races train their soldiers with crossbows instead of bows. Like all Prestige Classes, they retain the original class's Prime Requisite, in this case, Dexterity.

Soldiers are far too law-abiding to ever become, but occasionally, that fervor for law leads them to trade their crossbows for great swords and become, albeit at a higher level than.

Training

Train attributes in the usual order for non-casters: wisdom, constitution, and then intelligence. You can leave strength (which will give a HR bonus) and dexterity (AC bonus) for later.

Practicing

Practice all the important skills first: transportation spells, sanctuary/frenzy, pass door, fly, water breathing, cure spells, sneak, move hidden, dodge.

Devoting

Worship and devotion choices are identical to archers (to be confirmed).

See: Archer Worship and Archer Devoting for more information.

Fighting

Soloing: TBD

Tanking: TBD

Hitting: TBD

Healing: TBD.

Soldiers and UD

One more thing to keep in mind is that unlike archers, soldiers cannot skin the Ultimate Dragon for Ultimate Archer's Gauntlet.

If you are intent on getting this important piece of archer gear, only two options are available:

• use a regular archer to defeat UD and skin the gauntlet, then remort and become a solider,
• defeat UD as a creatable archer and then descend and become a soldier - solution for remaining chosen race.
