Grozz keeps gettin' graphic...plus, a Soldier!
I hate to start out posts by just lamenting my lack of posts...
BUT...man, I'm really having a tough time working regular blogging back into my schedule, aren't I?
Luckily, Grozz has me covered! If I can't post my own thoughts, I can at least update my buddy Art's graphic novel reviews every so often. So...that's what I've done. He led with Scott Pilgrim & the Infinite Sadness and has now added The Punisher: Born to the list. Check out the Gettin' Graphic With Grozz page for the full (yet concise) reviews...!

And to celebrate the Punisher's appearance among the selections on that page, I though it'd be fun to stat out old Frank (or, more specifically, a rather young Frank) using the Soldier class I recently wrote about...
(More soldiers to come, I think...!)

The Soldier
Proficiencies
Armor: All armor, shields
Weapons: All simple and martial weapons
Saving Throws: Strength, Dexterity
Skills: Athletics, Survival
All characters have had a life leading up to becoming a 1st-level adventurer, and many have hobbies and interests outside of their main profession. Decide on some of these details for your character, and select one additional Skill (from the Skill list) and two Tools and/or Talents to represent the proficiencies gained from these activities.
Equipment
Begin with a set of campaign-appropriate equipment (per DM).
Tireless
Beginning at 1st level, you treat the effects of exhaustion as one level lower than usual.
Military Specialty
You have trained for one specific role above others. At 2nd level, choose one or two of the specialties from the following list of items in bold. You gain the underlined items (skills, talents, tools, weapons, and/or languages) as proficiencies. If you already have the proficiency from another source, you gain expertise.
Action Surge
Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again. Starting at 17th level (seriously? good luck to you...), you can use it twice before a rest, but only once on the same turn.
Ability Score Increase
When you reach 4th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1.
Extra Attack
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
