Special Traits

• Martial Tradition. The troop of students has a martial tradition that has Intelligence or Wisdom as its key ability modifier.
• Troop. The troop can occupy another creature’s space and vice versa, and the troop can move through any opening large enough for a Small or Medium humanoid. Additionally, the troop has advantage on Strength checks, Strength saving throws, and any saving throw made against effects that target a single creature, but disadvantage on any saving throw made against effects that target an area.

Actions

• Spears. Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft. or range 20/60 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (2d10) piercing damage, or 6 (1d10) piercing damage if the troop has half of its hit points or fewer.

Equipping A Troop

A troop can ride a mount, wear armor if it is proficient, or use a different type of weapon if it is proficient, so long as 20 copies of the mount or item have been supplied to outfit the troop. To determine the damage a troop deals with a weapon, increase a weapon’s damage die by two sizes and multiply the number of rolled dice by x2, or x1 if the troop has half its hit points or fewer.

Spell attacks, melee or ranged, do not have their damage increased in a troop, nor do they have their damage reduced in a troop if they are at half hit points or fewer.
