Bodyguard

You have mastered techniques to safeguard an individual, gaining the following benefits:

• Whenever you finish a Long Rest you may designate a creature as your Principle, protecting and guarding them from danger.
• You gain a pool of Guardian Points equal to your Proficiency Bonus. These points refresh after a Long Rest.
• You may choose a Guardian Stance to protect your Principle, conferring special benefits.  Once on each of your turns you may change your Guardian Stance (no action required).

• Warding Stance:
  • While within 5 ft. of you, your Principle gains advantage on all saving throws if they take the Dodge Action. 
  • If your Principle takes damage and you are within 5 ft. of them you may spend your reaction and a Guardian Point to intercept the damage, taking it yourself.
• Retaliating Stance: 
  • Any movement your Principle takes while within 5 ft. of you does not provoke Attacks of Opportunity. 
  • When a creature makes an Attack or casts a spell targeting your Principle you may use your Reaction and spend a Guardian Point to move up to half your movement speed toward the attacker/caster and make an Attack of Opportunity against them.
• Escorting Stance:
  • While within 15 ft. of you, your principle cannot be surprised. 
  • If you are within 15 ft. of your Principle you may spend a Guardian Point to gain advantage on your Initiative roll.
