  has met the requirements and has acquired this Meta-Campaign Certificate 
   from the Dyvers Triad confirming membership as a 
  Sergeant in the Free Army 
  _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 
   
  REQUIREMENTS TO BECOME A SERGEANT: 
  • Base Attack Bonus +5 
  • Six or more ranks in one of the following skills: Hide (Light Infantry), Intimidate 
  (Heavy Infantry), Ride (Cavalry), Spot (Archers) 
  • Must have all three physical stats as 10 or higher 
  • Must spend at least 6 months as a Corporal 
  • Must be of a Lawful alignment 
  o Characters recalled to duty in Dyv5-05 Riposte are exempt from the above 
  requirements if they had previously achieved this rank but must meet all 
  higher tier requirements before advancing 
  • Must spend 4 Time Units per year on active duty 
  • Must participate in two Dyvers adventures per year (meta-regional adventures set 
  specifically in Dyvers, interactives, mini-missions, special missions, and 
  introductory adventures help satisfy this condition) 
  • Must be a Dyvers resident 
   
  BENEFITS: 
  • +3 circumstance bonus to Gather Information checks when questioning soldiers of 
  equivalent or lower rank 
  • +2 circumstance bonus to Intimidate checks when giving orders 
  • +1 circumstance bonus to Knowledge (Geography) checks when dealing with 
  military logistics 
  • +2 circumstance bonus to Knowledge (Local: Velverdyva, Tuflik, Fals Trade 
  Route) checks when identifying people in respect to rank 
  • +3 circumstance bonus to Profession (Soldier) checks when being lead by a Master 
  Sergeant or officer 
  • +1 circumstance bonus to Ride checks when leading soldiers in combat 
  • 50 gp per year in service pay 
  • 20% discount on the following masterwork items: Banded Mail, Breastplate, 
  Chainmail, Full Plate, Greatsword, Half-Plate, Lance, Longsword, Warhorse 
  (Heavy), Warhorse (Light) 
  
  • 100% discount on Standard Upkeep during any adventure set in the Lands of 
  Dyvers 
  • Permanent Influence Point with the Free Army; Sergeants have rank over all lower 
  ranks regardless of branch 
  • Permanent Influence Point with the cathedral of St. Cuthbert; the soldiers almost 
  exclusively pay homage to this church (in part because of the Free Marines’ 
  association with Heironeous), often brining clerics of the cudgel along on their 
  missions 
   
  PENALTIES: 
  • −3 circumstance penalty to Diplomacy checks with the Free Marines; the latter 
  organization considers the Army weak and substandard and make a concerted 
  effort to let them know as much 
  • −3 circumstance penalty to Diplomacy checks with the Navy; similar to the Free 
  Marines’ attitude toward the Army, the Army treats the Navy the same way, 
  reminding the sailors of the long traditions of the army all the way back to Aerdi, 
  insisting that sailors are simply soldiers that couldn’t hack it 
  • Sergeants may leave the Army after four years of service (including any time they 
  spent as a lower rank), and gain a permanent −3 circumstance penalty to all social 
  skills made with members of the Army; if a Sergeant attempts to leave before his 
  term of service is over, he is hunted down by the Army and pressed back into 
  service at the expense of 6 Time Units 
  • An ex-Sergeant may rejoin the Army later as a Private, but is not issued any new 
  equipment (joining also negates the circumstance penalty for having left)
