-Deathtouches fight in a close hand-to-hand style, but don't employ the same kind of powerful strikes as, say, a Brawler. They don't need to, because even their lightest touch can be deadly. There are two popular ways to flavor a Deathtouch's abilities: either as the life-draining caress of the undead, or the forbidden techniques of a wuxia martial artist. Either, both, or neither are fine; the end result is the same.+^{{ra>key?48|Possible Keystones}} |1.

A Drill Yard cannot be used more than once in a given session by any single adventurer. | 
-^Squad |The settlement is home to a squad of 10 soldiers focusing on this class's weapon type. A single settlement can have multiple versions of this enterprise. All 10 soldiers are level 5 and have the same abilities/statistics, determined by you. At least two of the soldier's five abilities need to be weapon abilities, and all of the soldier's abilities need to be ones personally known by the retiring adventurer who establishes the squad. Squads fight for the interests of their local settlement. If a squad is wiped out, it can be restored to fighting order by spending 5 Supply. |
