+These are professional soldiers, who have served their time in the guard and undertaken extra training. They expect only to be used in times of war or civil insurrection, and don’t do basic patrols or civic policing.  They cost 2bp (or a one BP upgrade) and take up 2 defence points. \\
+++Elite Troop (CR +2)| Some troops enjoy the sponsorship of a wealthy benefactor, whether an ambitious noble or a powerful warlord eager to fund a band of highly-trained guards. Such troops gain the benefit of better recruitment, better training, and higher-quality arms and armor. Elite troops gain a +4 armor bonus to their Armor Class, increase the damage dice of either their melee or ranged troop attack by one die type—d6 increases to d8, for example— and gain 2 hit points per Hit Die. Their movement is reduced by 10 feet.++
