Overview & Creation
“You know what they say, a spear in the hand is… Well, it’s a spear. Figure it out.”
Conscripts don’t choose a life of battle, they have it thrust upon them by fate or circumstance. Regardless of how they come to the battlefield, all conscripts who leave it alive do so because of the same two reasons: they have a natural gift for battle, and they figured out how to make do with the tools they had.
Quick Build
You can make a conscript quickly by following these suggestions. First, make Strength or Dexterity your highest ability score, depending upon whether you want to focus on melee weapons or ranged combat (or finesse weapons). Your next-highest score should be Constitution. Second, choose the Folk Hero background, with Highlander (Cha), Militia (Int), or Stone Thrower (Wis) as your martial tradition. The martial tradition you choose determines what should be your third-highest ability score.
