Tactics: Baldornians are not trained for accuracy, and they know it. What they are trained to do in larger formations against a small number of targets (such as adventurers) is tear them apart using the Ebon Blitz. Ebon Blitz is a readied combat style wherein the formation moves as a whole synchronous unit. The soldiers who can get in close to the enemy in question make their attacks, then move out while another set of soldiers moves through and makes an attack, and can repeat this process one more time during a given round. Therefore, if one lone man faced a squad of Baldornian Heavy Infantry, he could be surrounded by six, who could trade out for six more, and those could trade out for a final six more meaning the Baldornians could make 18 attacks against the lone figure in a single round while cycling the wounded to the back ranks unless needed later. Struggling against the Ebon Blitz without an AoE nuke is a very trying task for most characters, even characters into their 20s or 30s or possibly higher. The level range suggested is for fighting a few soldiers in isolation, not a whole troop. Suggested Level Range: 6 to 20+ (Ebon Blitz can make this higher, depending on your group)

These well-equipped and adequately trained soldiers from Baldorn are actually fairly formidable even to higher level characters, especially in their battle formations with numbers on their side. They are nearly impossible to kill in one or even two hits at higher levels unless backstabbed or nuked, and at lower levels may be an unsuitable challenge as their AC tends to make them impervious to many attacks. As long as the group is built correctly and knows what they are getting into, they may fare just fine so long as they are picking off a few soldiers and not a whole formation.
