![]() Those who do not wish to make careers of the military or who cannot afford to do so will serve one month a year until at least age 50, typically engaged in garrison duty or patrols anywhere in Laconia except their hometowns. Spartan Hoplite Conscripts have received at least three months of intensive training in maneuver, tactics, and use of arms and armor. They might be found throughout the mainland Greek state of Laconia, for which the city of Sparta is the capital enforcing Spartan rule anywhere else in the region of the Peloponnese or even taking part in military expeditions on behalf of their nation or as mercenaries almost anywhere in the known world. Spartan Hoplites are free-born heavy infantry soldiers who have been trained to fight in close formation and in conjunction with one another using long spears and large round hoplon shields and form the backbone of their nation’s armed forces. ![]() Soldiers of this sort might also be found in any number of other places or settings, particularly ones with a basis in real-world history and geography like Skirmisher’s Swords of Kos Fantasy Campaign Setting. Following are D&D 5E stats for Spartan Hoplites of various ranks and levels of experience that characters might encounter anywhere in the Peloponnese, the region of Greece where Skirmisher Publishing’s “In the Footsteps of Hercules” universal sourcebook is set (and are especially suitable for the “Soldiery” entry in that book).
