It outlines five unique builds that demonstrate different applications of Sohei class features. The Sohei blends melee attacks, divine abilities, and minor spellcasting to remain adaptable in various combat scenarios.
"We created this guide to help players discover the potential of the Sohei class," said a Stellar Dragon Games spokesperson. "The Sohei offers a balance of offense and defense that is often overlooked during character planning."
The first build, Barebear the Bugbear Bearbarian, transforms into a Dire Bear during combat. It focuses on strength, grappling, and spiked armor to deal sustained damage. The bear form increases raw power and pairs well with Iaijutsu Focus for high-impact single strikes.
The Gladiator Champion build emphasizes speed and damage output. This lionfolk fighter uses a two-bladed sword to make up to nine attacks per round, applying bleed effects to weaken opponents over time without relying on precision.
The Polearm Iaijutsu build is designed for burst damage. It combines Iaijutsu Focus with Shock Trooper and Leap Attack, using reach weapons to pressure enemies and deliver strong opening strikes.
The Phalanx Leader focuses on defense and team support. With shield-based tactics and feats like Phalanx Fighting, this build absorbs damage and protects allies. Features from Defender of Sealtiel make it difficult to move or defeat.
The final build, the Veteran Soldier controls the field using a glaive and tactical positioning. It takes advantage of Combat Reflexes and Stand Still to limit enemy movement, punishing those who approach or attempt to escape.
Each build includes practical strategies and tips for combat planning. The guide also explains how to use Ki-Frenzy for extra attacks and Mettle to resist spells and harmful effects.
While focused on D&D 3.5 Edition, a system that continues to attract third-party support, the builds are suitable for both arena-style combat and traditional campaign sessions.
