64x Infantry Grunt, human Ftr1: CR 1; HD 1d10+2; hp 12; Spd 30 ft.; Init +2; AC 15 (+3 studded leather, +2 Dex); Melee glaive +3 (1d10+3/crit x3), Ranged javelin +3 (1d6+3/crit x2); AL NG; SV Fort +4, Ref +2, Will +0; Str 15, Dex 14, Con 14, Int 10, Wis 11, Cha 8.
Skills and Feats: Climb +6, Profession (Siege Engineer) +2; Power Attack, Cleave, Quick Draw.
Equipment: heavy flail (15), glaive (8), 3 javelins (3), studded leather (25), heavy wooden shield (7, not usually used), longsword (15, not usually used), 27 gp
Notes: Whenever the infantry voluntarily goes into battle, each grunt is enhanced by an Aid spell (lasting 10 minutes) by a supporting Lantern Archon. This grants an extra +1 to hit (bringing the total to +4), +1 to saves against [fear] effects, and 1d8+10 temporary hit points. If a grunt does not have the aid spell for any reason, he will use his longsword and shield instead of a two-handed weapon. In battle, the grunts will usually throw javelins before the fight closes to melee range. Then, they will draw glaives to get attacks of opportunity from their closing opponents. Against tightly formed enemies (unlikely given the nature of area attack spells), they will drop their glaives and draw heavy flails. Against sparsely formed enemies, they will continue to use their glaives to overlap threatened areas while adjusting with 5 foot steps to flank (important!) and attack adjacent opponents. The general tactic is to allow an enemy to attack if it means you can attack in return, as most opposing footsoldiers will not have hit points to stand more than 2 blows, while the Aid spells will give the grunts an advantage in hit points (taking an average of 4 one-handed weapon blows to kill).
48x Archery Grunt, elven Ftr1: CR 1; HD 1d10+1; hp 11; Spd 30 ft.; Init +3; AC 15 (+2 leather, +3 Dex); Ranged longbow +4 (1d8/crit x3); AL CG; SV Fort +3, Ref +3, Will +1; Str 14, Dex 16, Con 12, Int 10, Wis 13, Cha 8; SA/SQ: Elven qualities.
Skills and Feats: Spot +5; Point-blank Shot, Rapid Shot.
Equipment: longbow (75), 40 arrows (2), leather (10), Warhammer (12), 1 gp
Notes: Like the grunts, the archers will almost always have an Aid spell cast by friendly Lantern Archons. Also, the Bralani who lead each division use Wind Wall frequently to disperse enemy ranged attacks, and the friendly archers are trained to take visual commands on how to avoid the Wind Walls while still hitting enemy forces. They are also instructed to use their Rapid Shot feat whenever possible. Also, they will frequently stay aboard their ship and fire from higher ground and cover onto the battlefield below.
