The Guardian

Few have heard of a patron that helps their Warlock protect others. But there have been whispers of one, slowly rising to power. Known only as The Guardian. Through this pact forged by servitude and desire, you may protect others. For a price.

Servitude and Desire

At 1st level, your patron allows you encumbrance and to be able to fight with fortitude. You gain proficiency in shields and heavy armor

Through your servitude, The Guardian has given you a magical +1 shield that will return to you no matter the distance and acts as an arcane focus for your spells. Through your desire, The Guardian has designated you an ability. At the end of a long rest, you may give up to 5 allies within 30 ft of you (This will not affect you) 10 temporary hit points. However, for how many hit points you give you must take away from your max hit point total. Resets at the end of every long rest taken. May only be used every other day.

Protectors Plight

As the Fireball comes hurtling towards me and my allies, I began to contemplate. Maybe this was a mistake, maybe I'll die here, I don't want to die. Then a voice speaks to me ever so softly. Raise your shield, and fight. Become The Wall or your allies are dead. I grit my teeth, He always knows what to say to piss me off and get me going. GET BEHIND ME I yell, get behind me or we die! They scramble behind me and I raise my shield. Good. he whispered Show me your resolve! I see the light in front of me, and then it stops.

Through your trust and triumphant feats, your patron has granted you something powerful.

As an action, while keeping concentration for up to 1 minute, you can bolster your shield and make a 10x10 magical shield that has 50 hit points and moves with you. You cannot attack while this shield is active. You may only use this twice per short rest. If the shield reaches 0 hit points, the shield breaks, and whatever damage is done after breaking carries over to you.

Protector's Fortitude

Help me please,  You whisper to your patron as your shield slowly starts to fall. I can't falter in the face of failure again. "PLEASE HELP ME" You yell as your shield almost falls before you feel a hand on your shoulder. You hear a voice say, Not yet. You slowly raise your shield again feeling more powerful than ever before. Never again, I will never falter again, I am THE WALL.

Through the resilience of your pact, your patron has granted you more power.

You gain a bonus to any Constitution saving throw you make to maintain your concentration on Protector's Plight. The bonus equals your Charisma modifier (minimum of +1).

Your Protector's Shield becomes a plus +2 and your Protector's Plight has a new maximum of 75 hit points.

Protector's Riposte

Dragon *****! I yell as Tiamat flies above out of our melee range, spell casters throwing whatever they can. I noticed that one of her five heads rears back. FIREBALL INCOMING. I hear on my left as the red dragon head breathes a stream of orange white-hot fire at one of my allies. Shit, Watch out! I yell to one of the kids that's looking around lost and aimless. Without thinking I step in front of the blast and take the full brunt. I scream in agony as my flesh is burned. Well, well, well, I hear in my mind. Saving a child from certain death, how heroic. Even now I can hear the sneer in his voice. it makes me angry so blindingly angry. I'm doing what you told me too!!!! I scream and through the pain, I start to raise my shield. I don't care about being heroic! I just want to be THE WALL OF THE PEOPLE. The burn starts to fade slowly but surely and I feel strength and power flow through me again. This time I can hear a smile in his voice, Good, continue to become the wall you desire. You're very close. That was the last I heard of him the entire fight every time an ally was about to be burned I was there, and the last thing I see before passing out, Is Tiamat falling from the sky.

Through your willpower and perseverance, your patron has granted you power only second to his own.

Your Protector's Plight now has 100 hit points and becomes a +3 shield.

As a reaction, if an ally is within 10 ft of you is being targeted by a spell attack focused only on them (such as firebolt). You may step in front of the attack and half the damage that would be done to your shield, you may also choose to (If you succeed on a spell attack roll using the casters modifier) reflect the spell back dealing the other half of the damage, to the original caster. If you fail the attack roll you take half damage and your shield takes the other half. If the spell is 6th level or higher you must succeed on a DC 17 Strength saving throw or be thrown back 10 ft and dealt 2d8 force damage.
