The Watchdog archetype for Fighter

# The Watchdog archetype for Fighter

## Sacrifice and Salvation

The archetypal Watchdog chooses a charge and is prepared to give their life to preserve that of their charge. All a Watchdog's resources are diverted to the sole cause of almost supernatural protection, forsaking all other goals. Often this archetype serves as bodyguard to the nobility, or perhaps to a skilled scholar or mage. Whoever they guard, a Watchdog would rather die than see their charge harmed.

## Subclass Features
### Sharp Eyes
*3rd-level Watchdog feature*
 You are always alert to potential dangers. You have advantage on Wisdom checks that rely on sight. You also have advantage on initiative rolls

### Unarmored Defense
*3rd-level Watchdog feature*
 While you are wearing no armor, your AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Wisdom modifier.

### Watchdog's Charge
*3rd-level Watchdog feature*
 You are able to safeguard one ally, protecting them from harm. When you roll initiative, choose one creature other than you which you can see within 30 feet of you to designate as your "charge." Becoming your charge gives that creature the following benefits:
* Your charge has resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.
* Attack rolls against your charge have disadvantage as long as you are in the attacker's line of sight.
* When you use your second wind, both you and your charge regain hit points equal to 1d10 + your fighter level.
