Innate Spellcasting. The Vanguard's innate spellcasting ability is Wisdom (spell save DC 18, +10 to hit with spell attacks). It can cast the following spells innately without expending somatic or material components.
At will: command, compelled duel
3/day each: warding bond, zone of truth
1/day each: banishment
Mental Strength (1/day). If the vanguard fails a Wisdom saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead
Shield Expertise. If the vanguard takes the Attack action on its turn, it can use a bonus action to try to shove a creature within 5 feet of it with its shield. Also, if the vanguard is subjected to an effect that allows it to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, it can use its reaction to take no damage if it succeeds on the saving throw, interposing its shield between itself and the source of the effect.
Multiattack. The vanguard makes three melee weapon attacks: one with its shield bash and two with its protector's longsword
Protector's Longsword. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d8 + 3) magical slashing damage, plus 9 (2d8) thunder damage
Shield Bash. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, range 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (2d4 + 3) bludgeoning damage. If the target is Large or smaller, it must succeed on a DC 18 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.
