Soldier is an Archetype in Rogue Trader. The Soldier archetype is among the four initial Archetypes accessible from Level 1. Soldier is a combat-focused character with military training. Players choosing the soldier archetype for their characters have access to abilities, talents, and skills that enhance their combat prowess, making them effective warriors in the hostile and dangerous environment. 

 

A Soldier is a master of all ranged weapons, quickly able to assume an advantageous position, from where they stand ready to rain fire on the enemy. While well-trained in a highly diverse range of arms, a Soldier is particularly proficient at blasting their targets with burst fire and area weapons. 

Core focus: movement and ranged attacks, cover and dodge, burst fire, area attacks.
