Guardian

Guardian

Guardians are the primal warriors of the natural world. They form strong bonds with the beasts of the wild and channel their prowess as a weapon. Often seen as nature’s defender due to their bond. Often their strong bond to the natural world calls them to its martial champion, though this is not always carried out with good action. Just as a hurricane gives little care for what it will destroy in its wake, a guardian can channel the skills into acts of destruction.

Armor: Guardians can wear up to Medium Armor at character creation and tend to wear armors that are made from natural materials like leather and bone.

Weapon Proficiencies: Guardians are skilled with the following weapons: Short Weapon, Medium Weapon, Great Weapon, Spear, and Thrown. Additionally, they gain the Florentine Power free.

Adaptive: While they do not weave the magic’s of nature the character can train themselves to understand its denizens. This skill allows the character to speak with natural animals, though it must be done in simple short statements and questions.
