5 levels off of a fighter usually means an entire extra attack. As is usually the case with prestige classes, the added potential for build synergy and powerful combos is generally balanced out by the amount of character power one misses out on for investing heavily in a prestige class. Even the level 5 feature which greatly expands the guardian’s ability to use their reaction still limits them to one usage per turn, and that requires a great investment of levels. This can be a great benefit to some builds that don’t use their reaction much, but it also limits the power granted by the guardian class features from getting too out of control. Of course it can also be combined with subclasses that are already more defensive, such as in the case of the Templar, which creates a character that nearly lives and breathes to defend their allies.ĭesign-wise, the guardian places a great deal of power into its reaction, and expects to be frequently using its reaction, especially at higher levels. This also leaves room for more specific subclasses to be used with the style of defender-role combat, which helps open up themes that could be reached in 4th edition but otherwise not in 5th edition, such as the Swordmage or the Warden.

The guardian answers the question many tough PCs find themselves asking - “but why should the enemies try to attack me and not the healer?” The intent is to enable a PC to specialize in the role of defending their allies from harm in a unique way that fits their class (or multiclasses) and feels like an extension of their existing character concept without requiring a new subclass for each possible class.

It’s heavily based thematically on the design of many of the Defender-role classes in 4th edition D&D, but mechanically premised mostly on the Cavalier fighter subclass (from Xanathar’s Guide) in 5th edition. The Guardian prestige class is designed to transform a warrior of any stripe into a sentinel of defense, ready to take hits for their allies, weather the blows, and punish enemies who choose a different target. Whether they’re a knight, a superhero, a mercenary, a parent, or something else, these characters - despite their diverse base classes - are also all Guardians. Whether using a blade, a shield, a spell, or a prayer, many warriors in fiction strive to protect those they care deeply about, those that are useful to them, or those who just don’t deserve to be hurt.
