# Warden 0.9.1

The charging minotaur's bellowed <br> cry becomes a thunderous <br> crash as a pillar of ice<br> erupts in its path, the <br>ground shuddering from <br>the impact of horn and <br>frost. A large man  <br> advances on wreckage, their armor <br> covered in rime, even as fire crackles <br> from their fist.

The bloodthirsty howls of the werewolf <br> pack turns to confusion when the scrawny <br> elf that looked only to be dinner rebuffs a <br>massive werewolf's charge, their arms swelling <br>in size becoming bear-like limbs, dwarfing <br>the surrounding werewolves' own once impressive <br> claws. All around the werewolf pack can only look <br> on in confusion as the elf continues to grow, grabbing and flinging a yelping warewolf like a rag doll.

The goblins have only a moment of glory, springing <br> their ambush and pouring out of the forest upon <br>the hapless group of humans before the plants<br> beneath their feat writhe to life and to their shock and <br>horror they find grasping vines dangling them from trees <br> like misbegotten ornaments, frantically trying to remember the word in common for 'surrender'.

The bandit looks at his broken weapon haft in confusion, and then back up at the large woman in strange rocky armor that seems unaffected by the weapon that has just been broken against her. His confusion lasts only a moment before the earth heaves beneath him and tosses him from his feet in a violent crunching shake. 'Urk!', a crushing force explodes the air from his lungs, a heavy stone boot planted on his chest as the large jagged form looms over him.

### Primal Champions
Wardens are not born of civilization and order. Though some wardens will seek to defend such things (or at least tolerate them), they are those that have harnessed primal chaotic powers. Lashing, roiling forces of untamed energy, that left unchecked would wash civilization from the face of the material plane as if it were but a temporary blip.

To what end they have harnessed these powers varies. Some seek to right ancient wrongs, some seek to protect or maintain a balance which must not be upset, some seek to root out and destroy corrupting forces that would bend the powers they wield to great evil... and some wish to bend the powers they wield to their own ends, to fulfill their own desires.

### Aspects of Power
The powers of a Warden are expressions of deep and primal forces. They are power given sentience and will, entropy and destruction harnessed and focused to purpose and cause. They channel their power as a conduit, bringing it to heel through force of will and inner conviction. As a blacksmith forges a lump of iron to take on the keen edge of a sword, a warden must always refine their power, tame and temper it to be a force of change rather than raw destruction.

\columnbreak

### Unique Bonds
Though wardens' powers can fall into broad categories, at the heart of their power is a unique bond they have with a primal force. Such forces are chaotic and bound to the soul of their wielders, and the bonds of no two wardens are exactly the same. What power they embrace and how it courses through them is a reflection of who they are.

### Chosen Powers
While the situations that lead a warden to take up their mantle of powers varies widely, their powers are reflections of who they are, a synchronization that would be impossible to thrust upon those that did not choose their path. A warden may feel they had no choice but to embrace their primal powers and wield them for a cause, but at the heart of the power is a choice: a choice to fight, a choice to stand, and a choice to be a champion.

### Creating a Warden
When creating a warden consider the factors that has lead them down their path. A mortal connected to deep primal powers isn't a common thing. Is this something your character sought out to right an ancient wrong, or something dropped in their lap they now have to deal with. How do you want to use this power, and principles will you have?

### Quick Build
To make a warden quickly, first place your highest score in Strength, followed by Constitution and Wisdom. Second, choose a wilderness related background.

## Class Features
As a warden, you gain the following class features

#### Hit Points
___
- **Hit Dice:** 1d12 per warden level
- **Hit Points at 1st Level:** 12 + your Constitution modifier
- **Hit Points at Higher Levels:** 1d12 (or 7) + your Constitution modifier per warden level after 1st

\columnbreak

#### Proficiencies
___
- **Armor:** Light armor, medium armor, shields.
- **Weapons:** Simple weapons.

___
- **Saving Throws:** Wisdom, Strength
- **Skills:** Choose two from Animal Handling, Athletics, Insight, Intimidation, Investigation, Medicine, Nature, Perception, and Survival.
- **Languages:** Primordial

#### Equipment
You start with the following equipment, in addition to the equipment granted by your background:

- *(a)* scale mail or *(b)* leather armor
- a simple melee weapon and a shield.
- *(a)* two javelins or *(b)* two handaxes.
- *(a)* a dungeoneer’s pack or *(b)* an explorer’s pack

Alternatively, you may start with 5d4 × 10 gp to buy your own equipment.

\pagebreak

### Mystic Bulwark
When you don light or medium armor, you can enhance it with mystical defenses, integrating it with manifestations of your primal bond (for example, an Elemental Soul may manifest icy plating to reinforce it). When you do so, you can use your Wisdom modifier in place of your Dexterity modifier when calculating your AC with that armor.

While you have your armor integrated with your primal power, when you take bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage, you can reduce the damage taken by 2. This value increases at 5th level (to 3), 9th level (to 4), and 13th level (to 5), and 17th level (to 6).

> ##### Damage Reduction
> Note that damage reduction is applied before damage resistance when calculating damage.

### Warden Bond
You select an aspect of primal powers, gaining the ability to manifest your bond with that power. The options for Primal Bonds are listed at the end of the class. Your choice grants you features at 1st level and again at 3rd, 7th, 14th, and 17th level.

### Primal Interdiction
Starting at 2nd level, nature hinders your foes with aspects of your primal power. This effect has a 5 foot radius, turning the ground within range into difficult terrain for creatures of your choice.

Additionally, at the end of your turn, you can choose to recklessly defend your allies within this area at the cost of your own safety, giving attacks against you advantage, and giving attacks against allies within the effect disadvantage if you are also in range of the attack being made (or have been at any point since the start of the attacker's turn).

The range of this effect increases by 5 feet at 6th level (to 10 feet), and again at 10th level (to 15 feet), 14th level (to 20 feet), and 18th level (to 25 feet).

### Endurance Dice
Additionally at 2nd level, you gain access to three d12 endurance dice. You have two uses of this die, though other features may grant additional ways to use it:

* Once per turn, when you take damage, you can roll an endurance die to reduce the damage taken by the amount rolled (no action required).
* When you make a saving throw, you can roll an endurance die and add it to the saving throw (no action required). You can do this after you roll the save, but before you know the outcome of the save.

You gain another at 5th (4 dice), 9th level (5 dice), 13th level (6 dice), and 17th level (7 dice). You regain all expended endurance dice when you complete a short or long rest.

### Primal Manifestations
Starting at 3rd level, your connection to the primal forces you've bonded with develop in new ways, unique to you, that grant you new powers and abilities.

You gain two such Primal Manifestations selecting from the list at the end of the class description. When you gain certain Warden levels, you gain additional manifestations of your choice, as shown on the Warden Class Table.

Additionally, when you gain a level in the class, you can choose one of the manifestations you know and replace it with another manifestation that you could learn at that level. If a manifestation has a prerequisite, you must meet it to learn the manifestation. A level prerequisite refers to your level in this class.

### Warden's Grasp
Starting at 3rd level, when you make an opportunity attack, you can replace the attack with a grapple check.

### Extra Attack
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

### Empowered Endurance
Starting at 6th level, when you roll an endurance die, you can add your Constitution modifier to the result rolled when blocking damage.

Additionally, if you roll for initiative with no endurance dice remaining, you regain 1 endurance die.

### Primal Strike
Starting at 6th level, your attacks from natural weapons count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.

### Natural Body
At 9th level, you sustain yourself from the forces of nature. You no longer need to eat or drink, though can if you choose. You become immune to disease.

### Evolving Power
Starting at 11th level, the damage dice of all natural weapons granted by the class increases by 1 size (for example, a d6 becomes a d8). If a weapon has multiple dice, only one die increases.

### Second Life
At 13th level, when you would be reduced to 0 hit points, you are instead reduced to 1 hit point, and gain temporary hit points equal to half your maximum hit points. Once this is triggered, it cannot be used again until you complete a long rest.

### Mystic Interdiction
Starting at 15th level, allied creatures within range of your Primal Interdiction gain the same reduction to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from Mystic Bulwark you do.

### Movement Through Nature
Additionally at 15th level, you gain your choice of a climbing speed equal to your walking speed, a swimming speed equal to your walking speed, or burrowing speed equal to half your movement speed. When you burrow, you leave behind a tunnel equal to your size.

\pagebreakNum

### Timeless Body
Starting at 18th level, the primal magic that you wield causes you to age more slowly. For every 10 years that pass, your body ages only 1 year.

### Invulnerable Endurance
Additionally at 18th level, when you roll an Endurance Die, roll two dice and take the higher.

### Primal Decree
At 20th level, you can use your primal connection with the natural powers of the world to reshape the land around you on a large scale. This can take the form of effects like *earthquake*, *tsunami*, *control weather*, or transmutation or conjuration spells from the Druid spell list that modifies the terrain (such as *wall of stone*).

At the GM's discretion, this might be used to accomplish other large scale feats not listed by a spell, such as changing the course of a river, quenching a forest fire, or causing an active volcano to have a small eruption. Its range of effect should generally be contained with a 1 mile radius area when not replicating the spells listed above.

Once you do so, you cannot do so again until you complete a long rest.

\columnbreak

## Warden Bonds

### Elemental Soul
Tapping into the endless power of the elemental planes, these wardens shroud themselves in harsh primal forces, destroying their foes with their very presence.

#### Elemental Armaments
Starting at 1st level, when you roll initiative, or as  a bonus action at any time, you can manifest  elemental weapons into your hands, causing  them to burst into flames, form icy claws, lashes of lightning, or frozen shields. Select one or two of the following weapons to manifest. You can manifest the same weapon in each hand, or different weapons in each hand. The weapons last until you drop them, summon new weapons, or dismiss them as a bonus action.

##### Primal Flames
You conjure flames around one of your hands.  This becomes a one handed natural melee weapon  that deals 1d6 fire damage on hit, and has the Light, Thrown (30/90), and Special properties. It sheds 20  feet of bright light and an additional 20 feet of dim light while manifested.

**Special:** This weapon counts as a free hand for the purposes of grappling. When you succeed a grapple check with it, the target takes 1d6 fire damage. When you throw it, the flames reignite in your hand immediately.

\pagebreakNum

##### Frost Shield
You conjure a slab of ice. This becomes a shield you can wield in that hand. Summoning the shield in this way equips it. Wielding a shield increases your Armor Class by 2. You can benefit from only one shield at a time.

##### Icy Claws
You conjure icy claws that grow forth from one of your hands. This becomes a one handed natural melee weapon that deals 1d6 slashing or cold damage on hit (your choice), and has the Light and Special properties. If the damage die is increased to a d8, it instead becomes 1d4 slashing and 1d4 cold damage.

**Special:** This weapon counts as a free hand for the purposes of grappling. When you succeed a grapple check with it, the target takes 1d6 cold damage.

##### Lightning Lash
You conjure a whip of lightning, tethered to one of your hands. This becomes a one handed natural melee weapon that deals 1d6 lightning damage on hit, and has the Reach, Light, and Special properties. It sheds 10 feet of bright light and an additional 10 feet of dim light while manifested.

**Special:** If you hit a creature with this weapon as part of an opportunity attack, you can pull the creature up to 5 feet toward you.

#### Elemental Manipulation
You learn two cantrips of your choice from the following list: *create bonfire**, *control flame**, *light*, *lightning lure**, *produce flame*, or *shape water**. Wisdom is your casting modifier for these cantrips.

#### Innate Magic
Additionally when you select this bond, you gain access to several innate magical abilities by channeling the power of your primal connection.

You gain the following spells at the listed levels, and can cast each spell once before without components or spell slots. Wisdom is your spellcasting modifier. Once you cast a spell, you cannot cast that spell again until you complete a long rest, or expend Endurance Dice equal to the level of the spell to cast it again.

| Warden Level | Innate Spells (1/long rest each) |
|:------------:|:------:|
| 1            | *absorb elements** |
| 3            | *entomb^K^* |
| 5            | *cold snap^K^* |
| 9            | *sleet storm* |
| 13           | *fire cyclone^K^* |
| 17           | *fire shield* |

#### Elemental Interdiction
Starting at 3rd level, your Primal Interdiction becomes a buffeting maelstrom of elemental power when you manifest an Elemental Weapon. The difficult terrain of your Primal Interdiction affects flying creatures within range, and you can select one of the following effects.

* **Creeping Frost:** Creatures that start their turn within the area of your Primal Interdiction have their movement speed reduced by 10 feet.
* **Blazing Pyre:** Fire burns fiercely around you, creatures of your choice that start their turn within the area of your Primal Interdiction take 1d6 fire damage.
* **Charged Field:** Creatures of your choice take 1d4 lightning damage for each 5 feet they move within the area of your Primal Interdiction.

The damage of the Blazing Pyre and Charged Field effects increases by one additional die of damage at 11th level.

#### Elemental Reflection
Additionally at 3rd level, when you expend an Endurance die to block the damage of a melee weapon attack, the attacker takes cold, fire or lightning damage equal to the damage blocked.

#### Elemental Body
Starting at 7th level, your Mystic Bulwark damage reduction applies to all sources of damage (rather than just bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage).

#### Primal State
Additionally at 7th level, you can expend one Endurance Die to cast *become fire^K^*, *become water^K^*, or *become wind^K^*.

#### Elemental Form
Starting at 14th level, you can cast *form of  fire^K^*, *form of ice^K^*, or *form of wind^K^* without  expending a spell slot. When you cast the spell this  way, you can cast the spell as a bonus action, and it does not require concentration. Once per turn during the transformation, you can use the action it grants in place of an attack made as part of the Attack action.

Once you cast the ability in this way, you cannot do so again until you complete a long rest. You can use it again before completing a long rest by expending 3 endurance dice.

#### Paraelemental Interdiction
Additionally at 14th level, when you activate your Elemental Interdiction, you can select two options, activating both effects.

#### Cataclysm Unleashed
Starting at 17th level, when you use your Elemental Form ability, you can instead cast *form of the elements^K^*, and are no longer limited to using the action they grant in place of an attack once per turn, as long as you use two different actions granted by the different forms.

While in this form, the damage dice of your Elemental Weapons and Elemental Interdiction effects are doubled.

Once you do this, you cannot do so until you complete a long rest.

\pagebreakNum

### Beasthide
Tapping into the primal ferocity of beasts, Beasthide wardens are capable of fighting with a primal ferocity. They specialize in unleashing terrible wrath on any that would attack them or their companions.

#### Bestial Claws
Starting at 1st level, when you roll initiative or as a bonus action at any time, you can manifest one or both of your arms into clawed natural weapons. You cannot wield weapons or shields in hands that you have morphed, but they can be used to grapple creatures. While you are grappling a creature with a claw, that claw can only attack that creature. The claws last until you dismiss them as a bonus action.

##### Bestial Claws
A vicious set of claws extending from one of <br> your hands. This becomes a natural one <br>handed melee weapon that deals 1d8 <br>slashing damage on hit, and has the <br>Light and Special properties.

**Special:** This weapon counts as a <br>free hand for the purposes of grappling. <br>When you succeed a grapple check with it,<br> the target takes 1d6 slashing damage.

#### Bond of the Wild
You gain proficiency in Animal Handling. If you already have proficiency in Animal Handling, you gain expertise in the Animal Handling skill, allowing you to add twice your proficiency bonus to checks made with it.

#### Innate Magic
Additionally when you select this bond, you gain access to several innate magical abilities by channeling the power of your primal connection.

You gain the following spells at the listed levels, and can cast each spell once before without components or spell slots. Wisdom is your spellcasting modifier for these spells. Once you cast a spell, you cannot cast that spell again until you complete a long rest, or expend Endurance Dice equal to the level of the spell to cast it again.

| Warden Level | Innate Spells (1/long rest each) |
|:------------:|:------:|
| 1            | *speak with animals*     |
| 3            | *animal messenger*|
| 5            | *alter self* | 
| 9            | *enlarge/reduce* |
| 13           | *mutate^K^*
| 17           | *polymorph* |

#### Ruthless Interdiction
Starting at 3rd level, you have advantage on the first attack roll or grapple check you make against a creature that attacked anyone inside the range of your Primal Interdiction (including yourself) since the end of your last turn.

#### Enduring Ferocity
Additionally at 3rd level, when you roll an Endurance Die, you can also add the die to the next damage roll or Strength (Athletics) check you make before the end of your next turn.

\columnbreak

#### Path of Survival
Starting at 7th level, you gain proficiency in your choice of Constitution or Dexterity saving throws.

#### Vicious Endurance
Starting at 14th level, your attacks with natural weapons score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20. When you score a critical hit with your natural weapons, you regain 1 expended endurance die.

#### Focused Transformation
Additionally at 14th level, while you are concentrating on an innate spell granted by this subclass, your concentration can’t be broken as a result of taking damage.

#### Gigantification
Starting at 17th level, as a bonus action or when you manifest your bestial claws, you can unleash the bestial power within swelling to massive size. You become Large or Huge (your choice) for 1 minute. Upon transforming, you gain temporary hit points equal to half of your maximum hit points. For the duration of your transformation, you gain the following benefits:

* Your natural weapons deal an additional die of damage.
* You have advantage on all grappling checks against creatures smaller than you.
* Your reach increases by 5 feet with all weapons.

\pagebreakNum

* Your movement speed increases by 20 feet.
* The distance you can long or high jump with a running start is doubled.
* You have advantage on Strength and Constitution saving throws.

Additionally while in this form, when you make an attack, you can throw medium or small objects or creatures you are holding with a range of 50/100 feet. You have proficiency with this attack, regardless of what you are throwing. On hit, both the target and the thrown creature or object takes 4d6 + your Strength modifier damage. On miss, only the thrown creature or object takes the damage (this damage is taken in place of any falling damage, unless they also fall vertical distance as part of this movement, such as being thrown off a wall or cliff).

Once you use this feature, you cannot use it again until you complete a long rest.

### Elderheart

Rooted in the ancient growth of the world, these wardens are linked to a primordial untamed aspect of the world. Their vines lash and bind, inexorably dragging their enemies to the conclusion of their place in the natural cycle of life and death.

#### Lashing Vines
Starting at 1st level, when you roll initiative, or as a bonus action at any time, you can manifest lashing vines to wield as natural weapons. You can manifest them in one or both hands.  The vines last until you dismiss them as a bonus action.

##### Lashing Vine
A natural one handed melee weapon. Deals 1d6 slashing damage on hit, and has the Light, Reach, and Special Properties.

**Special:** This weapon has the following benefits:

* When you hit a creature with this weapon, you can attempt to initiate a grapple against that creature as a bonus action.
* You can make a grapple check with this weapon targeting a Large or smaller creature you are currently grappling with it. On success, the creature is restrained while grappled by it.
* You can grapple creatures with this weapon with a reach equal to the weapon's reach. If a creature more than 5 feet away from you is grappled or restrained by you with this weapon their movement is not reduced to zero, but they can only move toward you. Once they are within 5 feet of you, their movement speed becomes zero.
* You can attempt to grapple creatures up to two sizes larger than you when initiating a grapple with this weapon, but creatures two sizes larger than you have their movement speed reduced by half, rather than reduced to zero. If they move out of range of your grapple, you can choose to release them or be pulled along with their movement.

#### Eyes of Nature
You gain advantage on Survival or Nature checks that involve plants (to identify them, to tell if they are edible, or track things that have passed through them).

#### Innate Magic
Additionally when you select this bond, you gain access to several innate magical abilities by channeling the power of your primal connection.

| Warden Level | Innate Spells (1/long rest each) |
|:------------:|:------:|
| 1            | *grasping roots^K^*     |
| 3            | *entangle*  |
| 5            | *speak with plants* |
| 9            | *plant growth*  |
| 13           | *summon plant^K^*
| 17           | *carnivorous garden^K^* |

\pagebreakNum

#### Body of Thorns
Starting at 3rd level, when hit by a melee attack, the attacker takes piercing damage equal to the damage reduction of Mystic Bulwark.

#### Spiked Interdiction
Additionally at 3rd level, the difficult terrain caused by your Primal Interdiction becomes overgrown with spiky thorns. Creatures of your choice take 1d4 piercing damage for each 5 feet travel within your Primal Interdiction. This effect is suspending until the end of your turn if you move.

This damage increases to 2d4 piercing damage at 11th level.

#### Hardened Core
Starting at 7th level, you gain a +1 bonus to Armor Class, and any critical hit against you becomes a normal hit.

#### Primeval Guardian
Starting at 14th level, as a bonus action you can take root, merging with the ground into wrathful treant. While rooted, your movement speed is reduced to zero. When you do so, you can choose to grow one size larger (up to a maximum of Large), your reach increases by 5 feet, you are immune to effects that would move you, the prone condition, and have advantage on Strength ability checks and saving throws.

Creatures two sizes larger than you that you are grappling can no longer drag you, meaning they cannot leave your reach without breaking the grapple.

You can end your tree form at any time as an action.

#### Arboreal Shelter
Additionally at 14th level, you no longer need to be in range of an attack to impose disadvantage on it with Primal Interdiction, as long as the target of the attack is within <br> range of Primal Interdiction.

#### New Growth
Starting at 17th level, as an action, you can cause <br>a tree to sprout from the ground at a point within <br> 30 feet of you that morphs into a tree-like-clone <br>  of you. It shares all of your statistics and abilities, <br> and is under your control, <br> but has its own actions <br> and acts immediately <br> after you in initiative.

It has hit points <br> equal to half your <br> maximum hit points. <br> It is in Tree Form, and <br> cannot end the effect <br> of that ability. It lasts <br> for 1 minute, or until it is <br> reduced to 0 hit points. If you die while it <br>exists, you become the tree clone, after <br>which you can end the Tree Form as <br>normal.

Once you use this feature, you cannot <br> use it again until you complete a long rest.

\columnbreak

### Stoneblood
The enduring blood of the world flows through you, empowering you with inhuman durability, and mastery over the powers of stone and earth. Empowered with unbreakable resilience and steps that cause the very ground to tremble.

#### Stone Fists
Starting at 1st level, when you roll initiative or as a bonus action at any time, you can transform one or both arms into durable forms of living stone. You cannot wield weapons or shields in hands that you have turned to stone, but they can be used to grapple creatures.

While you are grappling a creature with your stone fists, that fist can only attack that creature. The stone form lasts until you dismiss them as a bonus action.

##### Stone Fist
A hardened limb of stone. This becomes a natural one handed melee weapon that deals 1d6 bludgeoning damage on hit, and has the Light and Special properties.

**Special:** You gain +1 to your AC while wielding one of these weapons in each hand.

#### Empowered Earth
You gain the *stone forming^K^*, *magic stone**,  and *mold earth** cantrips. When you use stone forming, you can meld any one handed weapon created with with your Stone Fists, giving you proficiency in that weapon and replacing Stone Fist's Special Property bonus with the created weapon's damage dice, damage type, and any properties (beside thrown).

\pagebreakNum

#### Innate Magic
Additionally when you select this bond, you gain access to several innate magical abilities by channeling the power of your primal connection.

| Warden Level | Innate Spells (1/long rest each) |
|:------------:|:------:|
| 1            | *create pit^K^*     |
| 3            | *earth ripple^K^*  |
| 5            | *become stone^K^* |

| 13           | *stone coffin^K^* | 
| 17           | *orbital stones^K^* |

#### Seismic Backlash
Starting at 3rd level, each time you roll an Endurance die, you store the die in a special pool of charged power for 1 minute. You can have a number of charges stored equal to your Proficiency bonus. As a bonus action on your turn, you can unleash all of this stored power in an explosive tremor, rolling all the stored dice and expending them.

All creatures of your choice within the radius of your Primal Interdiction feature must make a Strength saving throw with a DC of 8 + your Strength or Wisdom modifier (your choice) + your Proficiency bonus. On a failed save, they take damage equal to the amount rolled and fall prone. On a successful save, they take half as much damage and do not fall prone.

#### Gravitational Pull
Additionally at 3rd level, when you take the Attack action on your turn, you can replace one of your attacks with a surge of gravitational force. A Large or smaller creature of your choice within 60 feet of you must make a Strength saving throw with a DC of 8 + your Strength modifier + your proficiency bonus. On failure, they are pulled 10 feet toward or knocked prone (your choice).

#### Resilient Blood
Starting at 7th level, when you become bloodied (meaning you current hit points are less than half your maximum hit points), the damage reduction granted by your Mystic Bulwark is doubled for a number of rounds equal to your proficiency bonus. Once triggered, you cannot trigger this effect again for 1 minute.

Additionally, you have resistance to damage from effects that cause you to bleed.

#### World Breaker
Starting at 14th level, you can cast *fissure^K^* without expending a spell slot. Once you do so, you cannot do so again until you complete a long rest.

You can use it again early by expending 5 or more charges of Seismic Backlash, casting *fissure^K^* in place of unleashing the normal effect. Spending additional charges increases the level of it is cast by 1 level per additional charge spent.

#### Stone Sense
Additionally at 14th level, you gain tremorsense with a range equal to your Primal Interdiction.

#### Primordial Avatar
Starting at 17th level, as an action you draw on the strength of the world beneath your feet to become an embodiment of its power for 1 minute. If you start your turn in contact with the ground you gain the following benefits:

* You have advantage on Strength checks and saving throws.
* You regain hit points equal to your Warden level.
* Creatures lose their flying speed in range of your Primal Interdiction.
* If you are targeted by a magic missile, a line spell, or a spell that requires a ranged attack roll, roll a d6. On a 4-5 you are unaffected. On a 6, you are unaffected and the effect is reflected back at the caster as though it originated from you, turning the cast into the target.
* You add a bonus die to your Seismic Reverberation pool.

Once you use this feature, you cannot use it again until you complete a long rest.

___

**Create Barrier**

When you take the attack action on your turn, you can replace one of your attacks with manifesting an elemental barrier in an unoccupied space on the ground within 30 feet of you. This elemental barrier forms out of nearby materials (such as dirt, wood, or stone), and cannot be formed in the absence of natural materials. The barrier roughly blocks a 5 foot cube of space, and has an AC of 15, and hit points equal to 10 + your Warden level. You can have a number of these created equal to your Proficiency modifier. When creating a new one beyond your limit, the oldest previously created one crumbles.

___

**Sacrificing Stance** *Prerequisite: 6th level*

\columnbreak

## Warden Feats
Here's some Warden Feats. These are obviously placeholders.

### Be A Better Warden
*Prerequisite: Warden*

You learn one additional Primal Manifestation

> ##### Further Reading
> * Consider [Active Martial Feats](https://www.gmbinder.com/share/-MyR8wuxORp8fOzxMp3S). Many of those pair nicely with Warden. And other martials. They've tested extremely well so far.
> * Consider Skill Expert/Prodigy to cheese Expertise in Athletics. It's extremely powerful.
> * Taking a Fighting Style to get Interception is a fairly viable route as well if you want to double down on defensive options.

## Warden Items
Here's some Warden Items. These are obviously placeholders. Give this when you give +1 weapons in playtesting.

### Natural Weapon +1
*Trinket, Uncommon*

This is a thing that gives natural weapons a +1 to attack and damage rolls.

### Other Items

* Wardens love defensive items. Any +1 armor, Rings/Cloaks of Protection. Proceed with Caution.
* Wardens are a d12 class, so they love Periapt of Wound Closure. And unlike last time I made a tank class with Fleshsmith, this doesn't even break them. You're welcome.
* Wardens are moderately MAD. They won't turn down a Belt of Dwarvenkind or any nice stat boosting item.
* Any item that lets them get bigger. Proceed at your own risk if you don't want dragons grappled.

\pagebreakNum

### Changelog v0.8

#### Manifestations
- Protective Indirection changed, no longer intercepts attacks, but allows you to reduce damage from them using your reaction.

#### Stoneblood
- Gravitational Pull added as a new 3rd level ability.
- Resilient Blood changed (now temporarily doubles Mystic Bulwark damage reduction when you are reduced to half hit points).

### Changelog v0.9.1

#### Elemental Soul
- Icy Claws reduced to 1d6 slashing *or* cold (from 1d4 slashing *and* cold). They become 1d4 slashing and 1d4 cold if they would otherwise become a d8 (meaning they gain 1.5 damage instead of 1, but that's fine as they know start somewhat under the curve).

#### Beasthide
- Ruthless Interdiction now grants advantage on the first grapple check or attack roll made against a creature that attacked someone inside the primal interdiction, rather than all attack rolls or grapple checks against them.

#### Elderheart
- You can now only restrain creatures that are Large or smaller with your vines. You can still grapple larger creatures.
- Engulfing Vines removed, and added as an Elderheart specific manifestation.
- Spiked Interdiction now deals damage to creatures that are moved within your area (like spike growth), but is suspended if you move, so you cannot just drag people around to deal damage (which is why it previously worked only on willing movement).

#### Stoneblood
- Stone Fist now only grants +1 AC when you wielding one in each hand (reducing the AC of them by -1 effective).

### Playtesting
This class has been played by more 12 people over 28 characters, primarily in levels 1-7, but has been played at all levels, including several tests at 20th level.

This class is effective - they are very good at what they do. It is durable, good at grappling, and has a wide range of control options. They are imposing in the battlefield, and can amplify the power of the allies, particularly allies that benefit from enemies being locked down.

#### Game Role
A Warden is a tank and controller. This means that while the damage is moderate, they are good at pulling enemies into fights they will inevitable lose. If the enemy is hitting the Warden, the enemy is likely in trouble unless the Warden is severely outclassed, but a Wardens durability is not unlimited. Bigger hits will overwhelm their Mystic Bulwark, and their Endurance Dice are a limited resource that will exhaust quickly.

#### GM Tips
If you are having an unusual amount of trouble with Wardens, giving enemy bruisers proficiency in Athletics occasionally can slow down a Warden's quest to grapple and prone all the enemies. Given more fragile enemies better mobility tools, and particularly teleporting abilities, can keep them out of reach of certain doom of the Warden longer.

- **Duration:** Concentration, up to 1 minute
___
Targeting four unoccupied spaces that you can see within range, rooted carnivorous plants erupt from the ground, filling a 5-foot cube each. The ground within 5 feet of them becomes difficult terrain. When the plants appear, they each attack a creature of your choice within 5 feet of them. Each plant makes a melee spell attack, dealing 2d8 piercing damage on hit. Make a separate attack roll for each plant.

If a creature ends their turn within 5 feet of one or more of the carnivorous plants, the plants automatically attack that creature unless you use your reaction to prevent them from doing so. The plants use your spell attack modifier, and deal 2d8 piercing damage on hit.

The plants have AC 14 and 30 hit points, and have vulnerability to fire and slashing damage. Each plant regains all its hit points at the start of your turn if it has at least 1 hit point. A plant dies if it is reduced to zero hit points. When the spell ends, the plants wither and die leaving behind difficult terrain unless they were killed be fire damage.

Creatures that fail their saving throw fall to the bottom of the bit (taking 1d6 bludgeoning damage and falling prone). The sides of the pit are rough, and can be climbed. The pit remains until filled. If a creature saves, but cannot move 5 feet, they fall prone, hanging from the edge of the pit, and cannot stand until they move out of the pit area or fall into it.

If the creature takes more than 5 fire or bludgeoning damage from a single damage roll while restrained, the ice breaks and the target is freed, ending the spell for the target.

***At Higher Levels.*** When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 1st.

#### Fire Cyclone

___
Targeting a point you can see, you cause a cyclone made of whipping flames with a radius of 5 feet and height of 30 feet to form.

When a creature starts its turn inside the cyclone's radius or enters it for the first time during a turn, it must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed saving throw, it takes 3d6 fire damage and, if it is entirely inside the cyclone's area, it's also flung 15 feet upwards and lands 15 feet in a randomly determined horizontal direction. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and is not flung.

When a creature is not entirely inside the cyclone's radius but within 30 feet of its center at the start of its turn, it still feels the intense draw of the raging cyclone, and must spend 2 feet (or 3 feet if it is flying) of movement for every 1 foot it moves away from the cyclone. If a creature starts its turn outside of the cyclone's radius but within 10 feet of its center, it must make a Strength saving throw or be pulled 5 feet toward the center of it.

***At Higher Levels.*** At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 and the height of the cyclone as well as the distance a creature is thrown upward increases by 5 feet for each level above 3rd.
