'''{{Anchor|Provoke}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' At 5th level a soldier can egg an opponent on in battle. He selects one intelligent creature within 30ft of him as his target. As a swift action he may force that opponent to make a will saving throw (DC 10+half soldier level+soldier's Str modifier). If he succeeds, the target must attack the soldier on his next turn if able. If the target is unable to reach the soldier then it gets as close as possible before ending its turn. Using this ability repeatedly on the same creature in a single encounter grants that creature a cumulative +2 on will saves against this ability for each time it is successfully affected.

'''{{Anchor|Rend Magic}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Supernatural|Su]]):''' An 11th level soldier can tear into the very essence of a magic user. The soldier may take a standard action to make a single attack against any creature that has a spellcasting ability. If the attack hits the creature must make a will saving throw (DC 10+half soldier level+soldier's Sr modifier) or take a penalty to its caster level equal to 1d4+one-half the soldier's Strength modifier for one minute. This does not stack with other penalties to caster level, and a creature that has its caster level reduced lower than what is normally necessary to cast some of its spells is still able to do so (EX: a lv 5 wizard has his caster level reduced to 4, but he is still able to cast 3rd level spells even though he would normally need caster level 5). All other penalties resulting from a lowered caster level still apply (reduced duration, reduced range, reduced damage, etc). This also reduces the DC to resist that creature's spells by an equal amount.
