Sergeant York

Soldier template

Despite the "War to end all wars" and "Peace in our times" slogans, the military profession remains popular for most of the era.
This template covers a generic "professional" soldier, i.e. someone who has actually seen action in a military conflict and whose main experience centers around fighting in an organized force.
See the variations for more specific versions of this archetype.

Variations

The presented set of stats/skill are designed for the typical "grunt". Officers or NCO should add Leadership skill, and perhaps Navigation (Land). If the PC is still part of a regular army, add Rank and Obligation.
Mercenaries of various kinds would probably drop the Rank, and perhaps add Code of Honor. An extra Language could prove useful, too.
Special forces would probably add a couple of levels in specific skills (e.g. Riding for "traditional" Cavalry, Drive for mechanized troops, Demolitions and Mechanics for Engineers and so on).
