ABOUT

A terra-cotta soldier is crafted from clay and fired into ceramic and is usually sculpted to resemble an armored human soldier, although terra-cotta soldiers resembling other races, such as hobgoblins, kenkus, or even demons and oni, are also common.

Terra-cotta soldiers are often created to guard the tomb of powerful rulers, standing in silent ranks to guard their liege even after his or her death.

These soldiers stand vigil for centuries, animating only to defend the tomb and its riches from tomb robbers. Terra-cotta soldiers are typically painted with colored lacquer, though this decoration is often worn away from use or faded with age. A terra-cotta soldier stands 6 feet tall and weighs 600 pounds.

Terra-Cotta Archers. Some terra-cotta soldiers are outfitted with longbows in place of their longswords. They replace the longsword melee weapon attack with a longbow ranged weapon attack with range 150/600 feet. Its attack modifier and damage dealt with a successful attack is unchanged from a normal soldier’s longsword attack. When using Multiattack, it can make three longbow attacks or three shortsword attacks.
