[sblock=OOC-soldiers]I've been wondering about soldiers actually.
The MM specifically says that you're supposed to build encounters with one or two soldiers + whatever else.
Irontooth is a soldier (despite probably being a brute in story terms). Obviously this swarm is too (I assume because the pulldown is kinda like crowd control? and you want to avoid the aura so it can block off a larger area than a medium creature normally can).
They both have a situational +1d10 to damage... maybe just a coincidence.
I was just wondering if soldiers are structured to be a bit better than similar monsters would be.
