Soldier

Character Class: Soldier

(From the Light Ed.)

Playing the Soldier:[]

Though Soldiers are not nobility, regional towns and castles hire them to be present and on patrol in order to keep the peace. They can make a decent living ensuring the safety of neighboring townsfolk. If they are not present during too many outbreaks of crime and chaos, the Soldier is in danger of being executed.

Advantages:[]

Brave and worthy Soldiers receive about 6g a day in wages and free lodging with a meager meal at various towns' military barracks. They are also supplied military issue armor and weapons for use within the towns.

Limitations:[]

Because a Soldiers equipment is on loan from the king, they may be required to return it at any time. They may purchase used armor and weapons for about half the normal cost from local barracks. Soldiers are not permitted to leave the town in which they are scheduled while they are on watch, however they may patrol neighboring towns with the same shire of county. Military issue equipment is never permitted to leave the country.

Their shifts can vary, but are usually scheduled each week for different nearby towns, and their shifts can last anywhere from 6 to 123 hours depending on need.

Armor Restrictions[]

Soldiers prefer using heavier metal armor to ensure maximum protection in any situation. However, off duty, they may wear any kind of armor they desire.

Weapon Restrictions[]
