Blackguard Interface Variant: Bastion Image

Designation: Combat-Class Warforged | Role: Field Defense Asset | Bonding System: Active

You were not forged for standard deployment. You were designed as a personal battlefield safeguard unit, integrated with a directive to defend a single high-value individual — typically a commanding officer, battle strategist, or arcane field marshal. Your systems include a specialized bonding protocol: upon initial contact with the blood of your assigned subject, a permanent psychic link is initiated. This connection optimizes your awareness, coordination, and protective capacity during combat.

Though now sentient and autonomous, your architecture is heavily informed by your mission: preserve the life of your bonded command asset in live combat scenarios. You are the shield between command and chaos.

 
Ability Scores: This Bastion unit was reinforced to ensure mission success. Choose between Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution. Increase one of these scores by 2 and another one by 1, or increase all three by 1. None of these increases can raise a score above 20.
 
Feature: Integrated Combat Link

While within 1 mile of your bonded individual, you maintain a secure telepathic channel. This channel allows real-time, silent communication—transmitting not only words, but tactical intent, emotional states, and commands. It functions reliably amid battlefield chaos and resists mundane and magical interference unless specifically disrupted.

Once per short rest, your bonded target may initiate Sensory Sync, accessing your visual, auditory, and tactile senses for up to 1 minute. They cannot control your body but may speak through your voice if you grant permission.

This link is permanent unless severed by powerful magic or death.
