Ah the Soldier. The last in this little series of design notes. The soldier was one of the KOTOR 6 and pretty easy to make a playbook for. Star ‘Wars’ need star soldiers after all. The combat specialties were a lot of fun, and I think make this playbook deceptively versatile.

In my mind, Chewie is totally the Soldier with the Bodyguard specialty. He’d probably have Easy Isn’t Always Simple and Only Through Fire is a Strong Sword Forged. For other types of characters to have Cybernetic Implants, mutations from the Bad Batch, or Fog of War.

You get a standard issue weapon and a sidearm, as well as some really fun unique options like jetpacks and detonators for your “ordinance.” Their gear section really reads like a Battlefront load out.

In terms of narrative power, there’s not a whole lot other than your specialty sort of implying what kind of soldier you were. This is a good candidate to start with if you aren’t sure what playbook to choose and then change to a new playbook once you have a road to hoe.
