Traits

Formation. As long as two or more other creatures with Formation are within 5 feet of the soldier, the soldier has access to its Rampart Shield and whenever a creature makes an attack against a target on the direct opposite side of the soldier, the attack has disadvantage.

Immovable. The soldier has advantage on checks and saving throws made to avoid being moved against its will.

Actions

Longsword. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d8 + 3) slashing damage, or 8 (1d10 + 3) slashing damage if wielded with two hands.

Bonus Actions

Shield Bash. The soldier forces a creature of its choice within 5 feet of it to make a DC 13 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.

Reactions

Rampart Shield (Formation Only). In response to being forced to make a Dexterity saving throw to avoid taking damage from an effect it can see, the soldier interposes its shield. It takes only half damage from the effect if it fails, or no damage if it succeeds.

Description

Across the lands, there exist divisions of soldiers with expert specialization in their field whose coordination with each other grants them peerless effectiveness on the battlefield. These are referred to as the sworn, a short moniker for those who are "sworn to the craft". Sworn might serve any nation or any creed, but they always fight in unison and fall into formation when battle begins.

The aegis sworn are a type of sworn that are characterized by their specialization with shields. Bearing greatshields suited for forming walls in conjunction with other sworn, aegis sworn are immovable anchors on the battlefield that hold their ground and form valuable cover for their comrades behind them.
