Description
The elite city guards are exceptionally trained and armed soldiers, even more competent than those who fight on the fields of war. They are often privately funded or the guards of a large or very prosperous city. Often, posts in such a position are rewards for older soldiers who have distinguished themselves in war, now seeking a safer position. Elite city guards sometimes serve as officers amongst advanced city guard or captains among common city guard.
Elite city guards are well armored and able to withstand a greater amount of assault than their lesser brethren. They lay down heavy amounts of missile fire and do so using the Sharpshooter ability to full advantage.
Lair and Lair Actions
Barracks. Rows of simple bunkbeds line the walls and center of the room. The stink of sweat lies heavily in the air, mingling with the sharp scent of oils and minerals used to polish armor. Weapons line the walls, ready to be drawn into action by the warriors that reside here. Several soldiers mill about the room and others sleep in the beds, preparing to rise with the moon for their watch.
Training Ground. The yard is split into quadrants, each identical in their dimensions. Racks of training weapons adorn each side—swords, spears, axes, and every weapon between. Shields, too, hang upon tiered racks, and a shelf carries padded training helms, breastplates, and gauntlets of every size. The smell of stale sweat permeates the air, and you see distinct dark spots on the yard where blood has spilled and dried.
