You are a guardian bound to a network of gates or immovable artifacts used for travel and communication. You are entrusted with the secrets of these artifacts and you are bound to hold those secrets by a powerful magic and to the death. The only secrets a guardian is aloud to share are the knowledge's of the artifact's use, and only to the worthy.
- Skill Proficiencies: Perception, Insight.
- Languages: Within the 20 mile radius around the gates a guardian can speak and understand all languages.
When not close to a gate you add 2 additional languages.
Your connection with the network of your fellow guardians is strong and if needed any guardian may be called upon by the others to protect the integrity of the gates and its network of guardians. You innately know the territories surrounding each Gate as if you have lived in them since birth. As a Guardian you share access to a hive like mental connection with the Gate network's histories. The living histories hold a record of casters who have used the gates, where they have traveled or who they communicated with through the gates, who has abused their privilege by using the gates for unworthy purposes, and those who have tried to tamper with a gate's magics.
To protect the knowledge of the gates knowledge their guardians gain an addition d4 to succeed against any attempt to deceive them.
