defensive powers.  The Eternal Soldier may seek battle only as a last
resort, but when it does, I figure the archtype fights like a cornered rat.
 Perhaps also something to do with the horrors of war.  Here's my

I'm not sure that I agree with giving the Eternal Soldier offensive powers.
You'll notice that the archetypes in the UA book tend to take a single idea and
progress it to more powerful levels as the avatar skill increases. The Eternal
Soldier progresses from surviving combat (dodge), to escaping combat (feign
death), to avoiding combat (look harmless), to destroying combat. I think the
problem lies more in the name and the syntax I used to describe the archetype;
perhaps the refugee or the hunted would have been a better choice.
