Special Features
Ambush from Concealment. The Sapper spends 10 minutes preparing a trapdoor, hidey-hole, tree-stand, or other concealed hiding place.

Alarm. The Soldier calls for backup.
- If other Soldiers (that are not already involved in the encounter) are within 90ft., they are alerted to the Alarm's position.
- If no other Soldiers are within 90ft., there is a 25% chance that 1d4 Soldiers join the encounter. They enter the area at least 90ft. away from another creature, or as far as possible from the player characters, at the GM's discretion.
- The GM determines how many Alarms can summon reinforcements before the local manpower is momentarily depleted, based on the context. Note that repeated Alarms can quickly escalate an encounter's difficulty, but this may be appropriate for some encounter designs (e.g. if a party is not meant to engage all combatants, a heist, or if a time condition is involved). For guidance:
- Remote or rural area: farmland, homestead, wilderness - decrease chance of response to 1/8, 1 Alarm maximum.
- Sparse, remote, or unpatrolled area; village, small town, tavern - 1-2 Alarms
- Populated area; city, market, guild, hideout, docks - 2-4 Alarms
- Defended area; prison, fortress, castle, military camp, city walls, warship - 3-6 Alarms
Variants:
Swordsman. The soldier carries a sword and shield. Increase its Armor +1, and replace its Polearm with Sword, dealing 1d4+2 Slashing Damage.
Optional Encounter Mechanic:
Specify the Alarm mechanism used by the Soldier. Shouting, a bell, signal fire, whistle, courier animal, etc. Allow the players to scout this information before the any encounter begins, and give them a chance to interrupt this mechanism if they get the jump on the Soldier (stealing the bell, dousing the fire, magically silencing their voice, and so forth).
