Prerequiste: Warforged
You were crafted with a unique purpose: to serve as an unyielding shield against the fiercest foes. Your creators forged your body with a layer of adamantine, one of the toughest substances known, at the cost of some of your agility and adaptability. Whether designed for battle, guarding a sacred site, or serving as a living bastion, your adamantine frame and training define who you are. The life of a sentinel left a mark on your personality, granting you a stoic resolve and a single-minded dedication to your goals.
- Skill Proficiencies: Athletics, Intimidation
- Tool Proficiencies: Smith’s tools
- Languages: One of your choice
- Equipment: A polished adamantine trinket from your creators (a gear, amulet, or shard), a set of common clothes modified to fit your frame, a small hammer or chisel, and a pouch containing 10 gp.
Feature: Living Bastion
Your adamantine nature and training make you a natural guardian. When you stand in defense of others, people instinctively look to you for protection. You can gain shelter or aid from those who respect defenders of the weak, such as military organizations, village leaders, or anyone in need of a protector. Additionally, people who rely on you for safety are less likely to question your judgment or motives, granting you advantage on Charisma (Persuasion) checks when negotiating from a position of authority or guardianship.
