The empire army camp is a special location designed for the Empire Soldier, however any warrior may attempt to gain entry to the camp and try to train in an attempt to gain temporary benefits. It is found according to the normal rules for finding special locations (need a 7+, rolling 2D6 in a town and 3D6 in a city). It only needs to be found once per settlement stay - in case a warrior wants to visit again.
All humans can enter the camp with relative ease, however as they are not know to the army all none soldiers must roll on the below table to see if they can gain entry. Once entry has been refused the warrior may not attempt to enter again during this visit to the settlement. Once a warrior has entered the camp he does not have to roll for any subsequent visits for entry.

Please note that the Chaos Warrior is not allowed to enter the camp at all due to his allegiances to the dark gods. Minotaurs are also not allowed into the camp.
Other races include Giants, Ogres, and Halflings.
Any training attempted will cost Battle Level x (1D6 x 10) for empire soldiers, and due to the extra effort needed to train none military personnel all none empire soldier characters have to pay Battle Level x (1D6 x 20). Each visit takes up one day of the settlement time. Any Rolls of 6 or below will mean you cannot visit the Army camp again at this visit to the settlement.
There is a maximum amount of training that a character can do in-between adventures, otherwise the warrior would be too burnt out to put any of his training into action.
This means that each warrior can only attempt to train the following amount of times.
Novice - 3 times per settlement visit
Champion - 4 times per settlement visit
Hero - 5 times per settlement visit
Lord - 6 times per settlement visit

| 12 | Rapid Fire – Gain +1 Attack with a missile weapon for the next adventure only, even for weapons such as the Longbow which normally are limited to just one shot per turn.
