Description

Conscripted from wealthier cities, these urban militias are given some light training, and often include in their ranks some members of the local city watch; and further they are often better equipped than rural peasants as well. As a result, they are better able to stand up in a fight, though they are not truly the equals of professional soldiers.

Variant Urban Militias

Better Armor: replace chain shirt with breastplate increase AC by 1 

Worse Armor: replace chain shirt with padded armor, decrease AC by 2 (decrease CR to 6)
