Wardens are tanks of the battlefield that refuse to give an inch. When overwhelming enemies bear down, wardens hold the line for the party and single out targets from the crowd until the tide turns in their favor. Play a warden if you want to be a tough-to-kill warrior with a focus on crowd control.
Wardens get their subclass, called a Champion’s Call, at 3rd level, accepting the inexorable pull of an important duty or task they assume as their own. You can play Wardens with two of these Champion’s Calls, the Bloodwrath Guardian and the Verdant Protector, straight from our website with these custom character sheets.
Bloodwrath Guardian
The primal power you wield has formed an intrinsic bond with the creatures of the wild, and you have taken up the task of defending them. Because you share in the beast’s ferocity, tenacity, and animal instinct, you can summon a beast’s primal strength from within yourself, and slay your enemies in an animalistic trance.
While entranced, you can sense a connection to a greater being, the Primal Beast: the first predator, from which all hunters are descended. As your commitment to defending the wilds from corruption grows, you grow closer to the Primal Beast, until you can at last adopt its ancient form yourself, and allow it to hunt once again.
Verdant Protector
As a Verdant Protector, you are the champion of the green things in nature, and defend them against those who would despoil the wilds. You easily find allies among druids and others that understand the forest’s sacred trees and ancient spirits.
At your command, the plants of the earth sprout up to assist you in your duty. At the pinnacle of your power, you can assume the form of an elder tree guardian, which looks much like a treant, with tough, bark skin, and long, branchlike arms.
