You were forced into military service. Perhaps it was punishment for a crime, part of your realm’s compulsory service, to pay off a debt, or due to a wartime effort to bolster forces. Whatever the reason, it was not the life you would have chosen.
|
||
|
||
Thrust into the world of the military, you quickly learned to follow orders, wield your weapons with confidence, and hold the line against enemy forces. Though you are strong, your true strength isn’t physical. You’ve survived on a mixture of mental fortitude and blessings from the gods of luck.

# Skill Proficiencies

Choose two from Acrobatics, Athletics, Insight, or Medicine.
|
||
|
||
# Additional Proficiencies

||
|
||
Choose one from trapper tools, provisioner tools, or smithing tools. In addition, you know a language of your choice associated with an enemy you fought against.
|
||
|
||
# Equipment
|
||
|
||
One martial weapon of your choice, a suit of medium armor, a military-issue boot knife, a set of military-issue common clothes, a pouch containing 10 gp.
|
||
|
||
# Talent
|
||
|
||
Having war thrust upon you made you adapt quickly and brought your natural talents out into the sunlight. Choose a talent to represent this experience: Armor Training, Combat Casting, or Combat Conditioning.

# Adventuring Motivation
|
||
|
||
Conscripts can come from a variety of backgrounds and lifestyles, but all have one thing in common: they did not choose this path. Whatever the reason for their forced service, conscripts had other plans and dreams to pursue before they ended up in war. Whether you have since found a new home among your fellow soldiers or resent every moment of your service, your time in the military fundamentally changed you.

| d8 | Adventuring Motivation |
|
||
| 1 | War is hell, but I’m already damned. Adventuring’s not much different. |
|
||
| 2 | I love the thrill of the fight now. Put me in front of an enemy so I can feel alive. |
|
||
| 3 | I loved my time in the military, and the comradery of adventuring is the closest thing that feels like it. |
|
||
| 4 | The money I need to pay my debt will come once I adventure enough to get it. |
|
||
| 5 | I have a list of people who have wronged me. I’ll cross them off as I grow more powerful. |
|
||
| 6 | Adventuring gets me far away from the military I deserted. |
|
||
| 7 | I’m part of something bigger, and adventuring teaches me what that bigger thing is. |
|
||
| 8 | No one should be forced into a life they don’t want. Adventuring is my road to freedom. | |
