<-Ex-Soldier->

<SOLDIER First Class>
By [Square Enix]

A SOLDIER is a Genova Virus infected individual who has gained extraordinary abilities from the virus. SOLDIERs receive special training and may specialize in certain areas. Some focus on Mako or Magic Light via Materia, a magical manifestation generally in the shape of a strangely colored orb that can be infused into their equipment or their own person. Others focus on combat using guns, while some focus on the usage of swords and other melee weapons, or even hand to hand combat. A SOLDIER is someone doomed to die a painful death in their final hour due to the disease granted to them at birth.

Making a <-Ex-Soldier->

<-Strong points and weak points, and effectiveness with party members.->.

Class Features

<-fluff about class features->. All of the following are class features of the <-class name->.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Soldier's are proficient with all Simple and Martial weapons, as well as firearms (if applicable). They are also proficient with Light and Medium Armor, but not Shields.

Bonus Feat: At 1st level and every 3 levels thereafter, a soldier gets a bonus feat. For feats they are treated as if they were a fighter of their level.

Magic Light Points/Day: Magic Light Points are used to manifest a SOLDIER's Mako. The number of Magic Light Points that a SOLDIER has is equal to their Wisdom Modifier + SOLDIER level x 20. (E.G. Cloud is a level 7 SOLDIER, his wisdom modifier is 3. His total Magic Light Points at 7th Level would be 200). Magic Light Points also determine the strength of Materia that can be used at any given time. For example, a 4th tier Materia may cost 100 MP, while a 1st tier Materia may only cost 30 MP.

Materia Loaded: SOLDIERs are capable of infusing their body with Materia to perform their Mako. As a SOLDIER levels up, new materia becomes accessible to him, and may randomly be found in the world, or even just appear over him like a mountain of gold. Either way he gains more materia that he can utilize. Each Tier of materia is gained after a certain level.

1st Tier Materia are gained at 1st - 3rd levels. 2nd Tier are gained from 4th - 6th. 3rd Tier are gained from 7th - 10th. 4th Tier are gained from 11th - 13th. 5th Tier are gained from 14-16th. 6th Tier are gained from 17th - 20th level.

Spells: Spells are listed below for the class as well as MP cost.

1st-

Fire: User deals 1d4 points of Fire Damage per level (Max 10d4) to a single target. At 10th level and every 5 levels thereafter, this spell can target an additional enemy (to a max of 4 enemies) so long as they are within 30 feet of the original target. Reflex (DC 10 + Wis Mod + Number of Damage Dice) for half damage. Costs 30 MP

Ice: User deals 1d3 points of Constitution Damage per every 2 levels (Max 10d3 at 20th Level)to a single target. At 20th Level, this spell can be used as a 30-foot radius burst in which ALL creatures must make a fortitude save. The fortitude save for each target is a DC equal to 10 + Wis Mod + Number of Damage Dice. Costs 30 MP

Barrier: This Materia comes with 4 effects. Each effect is active until the start of the SOLDIER's next turn and the effect must be stated upon casting.

Barrier - Casts a shield in front of a character that causes physical attacks to do 1d4/5 levels less damage (to a max of 5d4). Costs 15 MP

MBarrier - Casts a shield in front of a character that causes spells to do 1d4/5 levels less damage (to a max of 5d4). Costs 15 MP

Reflect - Casts a shield in front of a character that causes spells to reflect back towards the enemy. (To reflect the defender must roll 1d20 + Soldier Level. The DC is equal to 10 + Enemy Casting Mod + Spell Level) Costs 40 MP

Wall - Effects of Barrier and MBarrier in a single spell. Costs 30 MP

Maximum Power Level Known: This column determines the highest level power he can learn at this level.

To learn or manifest a power, a <-class name-> must have an <-relevant ability-> score of at least 10 + the power’s level.
