Unofficial rules compendium

The soldier is a fighter variant that is less specialized in fighting skills and learns more skills. Some soldiers are militiamen who keep a civilian career on the side. Others are army regulars who learn extensive and specilized skills required for their position, such as naval officers, artillerists, military engineers, mapmakers, and logistics specialists. Others mix might and skill as government officials, tax collectors, law enforcers, bodyguards, security specialists, or military advisors.

Please rename this class to avoid name conflicts with the Soldier advanced class in d20 Modern. --Urban Blom
