[Urbis] Stopping Adventurers and other Public Menaces

[the Jester]

What I'm planning on writing up next is the "Breacher" - the toughest melee fighter in the unit. While he is good at dishing out damage, his main task is to breach enemy line, draw enemy fire, and generally throw the lines of the enemy forces into disarray so that others can follow up.

I'm thinking of an 8th level fighter who is optimized for resisting damage and spells and pushing back enemies, and who tends to get every buff spell dedicated to resisting damage and spells available to the unit before the fight starts.

Hmm, too bad this is for publication or I'd say get the Combat Brute tactical feat.

That aside, your obvious choice is Improved Bull Rush. If you are going to create any new feats for your setting, here is an obvious place for them- an Improved Charge chain (I have one imc ).

Dwarves. Definitely Dwarves. With boots of striding and springing to increase their mobility.

A good way to get that tactical unit to the enemy quicksmart btw would be to have diviners to pinpoint the troubled spot and have the unit teleport through a permanent teleport ring.

To alert the diviners to trouble in the first place there could be strategically placed 'alarmed' call points which could be smashed in the same manner as fire alarms. The town watch and every public establishment could also have these alarmed systems.
