Class Skills (2+Int): Climb, Intimidate, Jump, Martial Lore, Ride, Swim.
A soldier also adds the associated skill of their chosen discipline.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: The soldier is proficient in the use of all simple and martial weapons, light and medium armor, and all shields.

School Focus: A soldier's training is less general than most martial adepts. He chooses one discipline at 1st level and adds its associated skill to his class skills. All maneuvers he learns as a result of his soldier levels must be from the chosen school, but ignore prerequisites based on his number of maneuvers known. (maneuvers he learns from other classes or the Martial Study feat are unaffected)

Multiclassing Note: An NPC may multiclass the soldier class with itself, as long as he chooses a different school each time. (eg. Iron Heart Soldier 1/Desert Wind Soldier 2)

Maneuvers/Stances: A soldier begins his career with knowledge of one martial maneuver from his chosen discipline. He learns one additional maneuver for every four class levels, but they must be selected from his chosen school. At 3rd level and every 8th level thereafter, he learns one stance from his chosen school. He may change all of his maneuvers and stances known whenever he gains a character level, as long as his new choices are within his chosen school.

A soldier does not ready or expend his maneuvers; he may use any maneuver he knows at will.
