Overview & Creation

A soldier is the mainstay of any army. Tough and versatile, soldiers can specialize in various types of ranged or melee combat.


Class Features

Squad Tactics

Beginning at level 1, the soldier knows how to work with other soldiers efficiently on the battlefield to take out much larger prey. If another Soldier is attacking the same enemy as you, you both gain advantage on attack rolls to hit that target.  

Action Surge

You can push yourself beyond your normal limits for a moment. On Your Turn, you can take one additional action on top of your regular action and a possible Bonus Action.   Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or Long Rest before you can use it again.  

Career Path

Choses one of several career paths laid out for you: Squad Leader, Rifleman, Close-Quarters Specialist, Sharpshooter, Heavy Weapons Expert, Support.  

Squad Leader

Selfless and heroic, squad leaders abilities are all geared towards making their soldiers stronger.   Morale
Beginning at third level, you inspire those under your command with your intellect, cunning, and bravery. To do so, you use a Bonus Action on Your Turn to choose one creature other than yourself within 60 feet of you who can hear you. That creature gains one Morale die, a d6.   Once within the next 10 minutes, the creature can roll the die and add the number rolled to one ability check, Attack roll, or saving throw it makes. The creature can wait until after it rolls The D20 before deciding to use the Morale die, but must decide before the DM says whether the roll succeeds or fails. Once the Morale die is rolled, it is lost. A creature can have only one Morale die at a time.   You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (a minimum of once). You regain any expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.   Your Morale die changes when you reach certain levels in this class. The die becomes a d8 at 5th level, a d10 at 10th level, and a d12 at 15th level.   Expert Tactics
Beginning at 6th level, you may use a bonus action on your turn to give an advantage die to any creature you can see. It may use the advantage die anytime it rolls an attack or saving throw to roll a second d20, and take the higher roll.   At 10th level, the targeted creature rolls 3 d20s, and 4 at 15th level, taking the highest roll among them.   Intellectual Assistance
Beginning at 9th level, the soldiers under your command begin to benefit from your experience. Their proficiency modifiers become equal to your intelligence modifier.   Drone Strike
At 15th level, you gain the ability to call in a drone to strafe the area with small rockets as a bonus action. You select a 50-foot long, 10-foot wide area that you can see. During your next turn, the area is saturated in rocket fire from an overhead drone. Any creature caught in the blast radius must make a Dexterity saving throw DC 10+your level. A creature takes 10d8 10d8 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one. You must complete a long rest before using this ability again.   Orbital Strike
At 18th level, you are able to enlist the help of an orbiting warship in your ground engagements. Once in between long rests, you choose 4 points you can see within 1 mile. Each creature in a 40-foot-radius sphere centered on each point you choose must make a Dexterity saving throw DC 10+your level. The sphere spreads around corners. A creature takes 20d6 20d6 fire damage and 20d6 20d6 bludgeoning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
