Career Path

Choses one of several career paths laid out for you: Squad Leader, Rifleman, Close-Quarters Specialist, Sharpshooter, Heavy Weapons Expert, Support.  

Squad Leader

Selfless and heroic, squad leaders abilities are all geared towards making their soldiers stronger.   Morale
Beginning at third level, you inspire those under your command with your intellect, cunning, and bravery. To do so, you use a Bonus Action on Your Turn to choose one creature other than yourself within 60 feet of you who can hear you. That creature gains one Morale die, a d6.   Once within the next 10 minutes, the creature can roll the die and add the number rolled to one ability check, Attack roll, or saving throw it makes. The creature can wait until after it rolls The D20 before deciding to use the Morale die, but must decide before the DM says whether the roll succeeds or fails. Once the Morale die is rolled, it is lost. A creature can have only one Morale die at a time.   You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (a minimum of once). You regain any expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.   Your Morale die changes when you reach certain levels in this class. The die becomes a d8 at 5th level, a d10 at 10th level, and a d12 at 15th level.   Expert Tactics
