Crownland Soldier
Read-only review
Crownland Soldier
Professional infantrymen sworn to defend the Crownlands, these disciplined soldiers guard roads, protect settlements, garrison castles, and form the backbone of the royal army. Equipped with chainmail, shields, and arming swords, they fight in coordinated formations beneath the crimson banner of House Drakecrest. Unlike the poorly trained Mudfoot levies, Crownlands soldiers are trained to hold the line and protect their comrades, standing firm in the name of the Crown and the Dragon Pact.
Shield Formation. While the soldier is within 5 feet of at least one allied Crownlands soldier wielding a shield, it gains a +1 bonus to AC. This bonus is already included in the stat block's AC only when the condition is met; otherwise, its AC is 16.
Disciplined Soldier. The soldier has advantage on saving throws against being frightened while within 10 feet of an allied Crownlands officer or veteran.
