SENTINEL OF THE LAND

At 18th level the great earth beneath your feet grants you the title of Sentinel, and in doing so rewards your dedication with a wondrous armor representative of yourself. As an action on your turn you can summon a mass of crystal to form as armor around you. (You concentrate as though on a spell)

The armor has an AC of 19 and can not benefit from a shield. The armor also has 100 hp, and will absorb any damage that would normally be delivered to its wearer. If it is broken and there is excess damage, the wearer takes the remaining damage.

As a reaction you can send this armor to a creature about to be hit by an attack. When you do so the armor leaves your body and wraps around the target of the attack until the start of your next turn, This may potentially cause the attack to miss. While a creature other than you is wrapped in the armor, they are restrained.

As an action you may attempt to wrap an enemy of large or smaller size in the armor, they must make a dc 15 strength save or be restrained until the start of your next turn.

You may also forgo the armor returning to you, if that is the case, an enemy can make a DC 15 athletics check to break free of the armor at the end of each of its turns.

If/When armor is broken out of in this Method it returns to you with 10 less hit points.

 

You can do this for an hour once per long rest.
