Resolute

Resolutes are less averse to armor and armaments than other sages, focusing on hardening their body rather than avoiding attacks.

Combat-Hardened

Resolutes are proficient with simple weapons, as well as light armor and bucklers. In addition, if this is this character’s first level in any class, they may select a martial tradition of their choice.

At 1st level, the resolute gains Toughness as a bonus feat, or a single feat of their choice if they already possess Toughness. At 12th level, the bonus hit points gained from the Toughness feat are doubled.

This alters proficiencies and replaces AC bonus.

Stalwart

At 4th level, if the resolute succeeds at a Fortitude or Will saving throw against an attack that has a reduced effect on a successful save, he instead avoids the effect entirely. A helpless resolute does not gain the benefit of the stalwart ability.

This replaces the esotery gained at 4th level.
