Effects on Weapon Usage
Soldiers can use any weapon they so desire. Soldiers have +5 to Crit and Hit Target with guns.
Effects on Armor Usage
Soldiers can wear any armor type and use any shields.
Character Point Rate
oldiers pride themselves in their knowledge of combat. They don't care as much about scholarly things or being sneaky. Instead, they want to know how to do more damage. Offense is the way to go for them.The Soldier's character point rate is:
- Mental x 0.01; with an additional +0.2 for every level obtained in Melee Proficiency past level 1 (total of +0.6 bonus possible).
- A soldier who gets all 4 levels of Attack Type Proficiency gets to roll a 1d% increased by Mental as a percentage for extra character points. This is for each type, giving a total of four 1d% rolls for extra points.
- A soldier who gets all 4 levels of Weapon Proficiency gets to roll 2d% increased by Mental as a percentage for extra character points. The soldier can only get this bonus 4 times.
- A soldier who gets at least 1 level in every soldier skill (one attack proficiency type and one weapon proficiency) gets their End of Session Bonus as extra character points.
- A soldier's End of Session Bonus rate is your character point rate increased by 1/2 Strength. So if your character point rate is 1.5 and your Strength is 60, you would take 1.5 x 30 to get 45 extra character points at the end of the session. The GM can of course reward extra character points based on role playing.
Skills
A soldier is a trained fighter. Therefore they will be able to master fighting skills better than others. For a soldier, any skill listed below has its character point cost cut in half.
Soldiers are masters with guns. They can use any gun related skill from the Hunter profession as if they are Soldier skills, meaning that those skills count as additional soldier skills. Soldiers can also use the skills from the Soldier Combo Profession as in profession skills, but without any extra benefits of that Combo Profession. The Soldier Combo Profession is not available in this campaign.
