You don't want to be a "special soldier," though.
The Soldier and Specialist are the two classes that separate the bruiser from the backup. While both play their role in Richard Garriott's Tabula Rasa, it's important to know the differences between them and how each functions. Ten Ton Hammer has your updated guide to both these important classes.
Soldier - The soldier is the first class in the combatant class sub-tree. Soldier classes are the primary combatants, doing the most direct damage on the battlefield. Most soldier abilities are concerned with aggressive, direct damage.
Soldiers are supported by the Specialist classes, which provide them with combat support and redirect damage(healing, transportation, ordnance, etc...)
