Sooner or later, your character is going to want to specialize, sending his or her heroic career in a particular direction. In addition to multiclassing freely among the six basic classes (Strong, Fast, Tough, Smart, Dedicated, and Charismatic), eventually your character will qualify to take levels in an advanced class.
An advanced class represents a focus and a calling for the experienced adventurer. It provides a specialization and a range of power and ability to give a character that something extra to set him or her apart.
Advanced classes allow a Gamemaster to create specific, exclusive roles as classes especially tied to his or her campaign. These special roles offer abilities otherwise not accessible to characters, as well as direction and purpose tied to a specific concept. A character with an advanced class will be more specialized, and perhaps more powerful, than a hero who gains levels in just the basic classes.
Still, the best characters combine levels of basic and advanced classes to their ultimate advantage, selecting the class at each level that will give them the class skills and talents they need to develop further.
Although each advanced class naturally builds from a certain basic class, every advanced class is available to all characters who fulfill the prerequisites of the class, regardless of what basic classes they have gained levels in. The associations between basic classes and advanced classes are summarized on the following table. The advanced classes are presented in this chapter in the order given below.

The advanced classes that follow are suitable for any modern setting. Chapter Nine: Campaign Models features a selection of advanced classes created specifically for the campaigns outlined therein. Whether or not those advanced classes are available in your campaign is up to the Gamemaster.
The Gamemaster may add advanced classes specifically suited to his or her campaign. Conversely, the GM can decide that certain advanced classes aren\u2019t available in the campaign. Check with your GM before selecting an advanced class.

Qualifying for an Advanced Class<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Advanced classes are like basic classes, except that they have requirements that must be met before you can attain 1st level in the class. A character who qualifies can choose an advanced class as an additional class as he or she gains levels, using the multiclassing rules. Some combination of base attack bonus, feats, and skill ranks determines whether a character is eligible to gain a level in an advanced class. See Chapter One: Characters for details on multiclassing, skill ranks, and advancing in level.
According to the rules for level advancement (see page 39), you must choose your new class first. Then you gain new abilities or features, such as an increased base attack bonus or more skill points to spend. If those new abilities or features make you eligible for an advanced class, you can take your first level in that class the next time you attain a new level. For example, if you obtain the number of ranks you need in a particular skill upon reaching 4th level, then you can select the advanced class that has that prerequisite at 5th level. Or, if you obtain the required base attack bonus upon reaching 3rd level, you can select the advanced class with that prerequisite when you\u2019re ready to rise to 4th level.
Additionally, the GM may install in-game requirements, such as professional fees, special training, or membership in a specific group.
Advanced classes are designed so that characters can select them as early as 4th level with a little planning, though some characters may not be able to qualify for an advanced class until later in their heroic careers.

SOLDIER<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Soldier is a trained warrior, as good with a gun as he is with a knife or some other melee weapon. Some soldiers come out of formal military programs or law enforcement academies. Others acquire their skills on the field of battle. The Soldier might be a dedicated idealist or a profit-seeking mercenary, a hired gun or a highly skilled adventurer. In all cases, the Soldier learns how to defeat his enemies, to complete his missions, and ultimately, to survive.
Select this advanced class if you want your character to be a well-rounded combat expert. It combines both melee and ranged weapon expertise, preparing the Soldier for whatever situation comes his way.
The fastest path into this advanced class is from the Strong hero basic class, though other paths are possible.

To qualify to become a Soldier, a character must fulfill the following criteria.
Base Attack Bonus:<\/strong> +3.
