Bulwark Warden

Unyielding protectors with unmatched defensive capabilities, the Bulwarks are the steadfast guardians of the battlefield, shielding allies from harm.

The Bulwark is the embodiment of defense, using both shield and armor to become an impenetrable bastion on the frontlines. Their mere presence inspires allies, as they absorb the brunt of enemy assaults, allowing comrades to focus on the offensive. Bulwarks are masters of positioning, able to intercept attacks and mitigate damage through sheer tenacity and tactical awareness.

Noble Protector (1st Level Feature)

You have mastered the art of drawing enemy attention and placing yourself between danger and your allies. You gain proficiency in the Perception skill.

Geo Warden Features

Geo Warden

The Geo Warden symbolizes the earth's strength. By harnessing stone and soil, they protect allies with determination, forming a living shield. Their bond with the land allows them to wear Geode Armor for strong defense, and their Safeguard ability extends protection to those in need.

As they grow stronger, the Geo Warden channels earth's raw power into offensive bursts like the Cataclysmic Charge, turning defenses into devastating strikes. This blend of defense and offense makes the Geo Warden a versatile protector, serving as the immovable cornerstone of any adventuring party.

Safeguard (1st Level Feature)

You gain proficiency in the Nature skill. In addition, when a creature within 30 feet of you takes damage, you can use your reaction to extend your protective Aegis to them. Until the start of your next turn, the chosen creature gains the effects of your Aegis class feature. You lose this bonus while the Aegis is active.

Once you use this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest, unless you expend a spell slot of any level to use it again.

Twilight Sanctuary (3rd Level)

As an action, you emanate a sphere of soothing twilight centered on you with a 30-foot radius.

Midnight Veil (14th Level)

When an attacker you can see hits you with an attack while you are in dim light or darkness, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on that attack roll.

Spore Warden Features

Spore Warden

Champions of the mycelial network, they unleash death-dealing spores and bind allies in regenerative fungal life. Spore Wardens shape the battlefield with toxic clouds, symbiotic shields, and living spores that heal and protect.

Halo of Spores (1st Level)

You gain proficiency in the Nature skill.
In addition, whenever you use your Second Wind feature, you can forgo regaining hit points to instead unleash a spray of toxic spores. Choose one creature within 10 feet of you; that creature must succeed on a Constitution saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier) or take 1d10 + your proficiency bonus necrotic damage (half as much on a successful save).

Symbiotic Entity (3rd Level)

The spores slumbering within you awaken in a surge of fungal life. You gain temporary hit points equal to 4 for each level you have in this class.

When you hit a creature with a weapon attack you can deal an additional 1d6 necrotic damage as living spores burst into the wound. These benefits last until you lose all these temporary hit points.

Once you use Symbiotic Entity, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Mycelial Restoration (6th Level)

Your bond with the spore network lets you turn its decay into rejuvenation. Whenever you use your Second Wind feature, you can choose up to three creatures of your choice within 60 feet who are allied with you. Each of those creatures regains hit points equal to your Warden level, as the spores you expel knit their wounds and bolster their vitality.

Mycelial Conduit (10th Level)

You become a living nexus for fungal energy. Whenever a creature you have healed with your Mycelial Restoration feature regains hit points, you can reach out with your spores to cleanse them: remove one condition affecting that creature (such as blinded, deafened, frightened, paralyzed, poisoned, or stunned).

Fungal Body (14th Level)

The fungal spores in your body alter you: you can’t be blinded, deafened, frightened, or poisoned, and any critical hit against you counts as a normal hit instead, unless you’re incapacitated. You can replenish Symbiotic Entity as an action once per long rest.

Zuggtmoy’s Protection (19th Level)

You become a living avatar of the Demon Queen of Fungi. As a bonus action, you call upon Zuggtmoy’s blessing to envelop yourself in a 30-foot aura of dense spores that move with you. For 1 minute, you gain resistance to all damage, any creature in the area that hits you with an attack takes necrotic damage equal to your Warden level, and the area becomes difficult terrain for your enemies.

Once you use this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest.

A creature can only take this additional damage once per turn per attacker.

If the marked creature drops to 0 hit points before the duration ends, you can use a bonus action on a later turn to mark another creature you can see.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Commanding Advance (6th Level Feature)

Oathkeeper’s Ascent (19th Level Feature)

Your presence inspires destiny itself. When you or an ally within 60 feet of you rolls a 1 on an attack roll, saving throw, or ability check, you can use your reaction to treat the roll as if it were a 20 instead.

Once you use this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest. However, you can also expend a use of your Judgment feature to use it again.
