Guardian of the Wilds

The guardians of the wilds are fighters who are deeply connected to the natural world, and fight to protect it from those who would harm or destroy it. Guardians undergo a magical ritual at the end of their rigorous training, that grants them primal powers of nature. Guardians of the wilds are experts at navigating the wilderness, and connecting with nature's primal magic.

Power Dice

At 3rd level you have four power dice, which are d8s. A power die is expended when you use it. You regain all of your expended power dice when you finish a long rest.

You gain another power die at 7th level, one more at 10th level and one more at 15th level.

Primal Powers

At 3rd level you gain three powers of your choice, which are detailed under “Primal Powers” below. Many powers enhance an attack or check in some way. You can use only one power per turn.

You gain two additional powers of your choice at 7th, 10th, and 15th level. Each time you gain new powers, you can also replace one power you have with a different one.

Some of your powers require your target to make a saving throw to resist the power’s effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:

Power save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength or Dexterity modifier (your choice)

Bear's Strength

You can either gain power dice to a damage roll, or a strength check- or as a reaction gain power dice to a strength saving throw.

Bear's Strike

When you hit a target with an attack, the target takes power dice bludgeoning damage and must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the target is stunned until the end of your next turn.

Cat's Agility

Either gain power dice to a Dexterity check, or as a reaction add power dice to a Dexterity saving throw.

Cat's Leap

You can either make a bonus action long/high jump and add power dice *3 to your jumping distance- or as a reaction reduce fall damage by power dice *3.

Fox's Sharpness

You can either gain power dice to an intelligence check, or as a reaction gain power dice to an intelligence saving throw.

Hawke's Eyes

Double the range of a ranged attack and add power dice to the attack roll.

Hawke's Speed

Gain power dice *5 to your movement for one turn.

Ox's Charge

When you hit with a melee attack, the target takes power dice bludgeoning damage and must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, the target is knocked prone.

A creature that is large or smaller will also be pushed back 10 feet on a failed save.

Ox's Resilience

As a reaction, gain power dice to a Constitution or Wisdom saving throw.

Primal Awareness

Gain power dice on a perception or insight check.

Primal Blood

As a reaction, sacrifice hitpoints to dispel a magical effect or spell within 30 feet, that you're aware of.

You take power dice + spell level *5 damage, and unless you fall unconcious, the magic is dispelled.

Primal Grip

You and your target must make a contested Strength check (the target can only be one category bigger than you). You gain power dice to the check. If you succeed, your target becomes grappled and restrained. 

You can move at full speed with your target, and use your action to deal 1d4 + STR bludgeoning damage.

On their turn, the target can use their action to make another contested check to try and break free. You keep the original power dice bonus for all contested checks.

Primal Magic Sense

You can add power dice to an Arcana check. On a 19 or higher you become aware of all spells and magical effects within 30 feet of you.

Primal Presence

A target within 30 feet of you, that can see or hear you, must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the target takes power dice psychic damage and becomes frightened until the end of your next turn.

You can travel twice as long before gaining a level of exhaustion.

Enhanced Powers

At 10th level your power dice turn into d10s.

Primal Wrath

At 15th level you gain the following feature: Once per long rest, you can use an action to expend all of your power dice at once in order to enter a state of primal wrath for one minute. You can only do this if you still have all of your power dice.

While this state is active, all your attacks have advantage, you gain resistance to non-magical damage, +10 to movement speed, advantage on all checks and saving throws for STR, DEX and CON, and deal an additional 2d8 force damage. You also become immune to being charmed, frightened or possessed.

You can't end the primal wrath at will. While you're in your primal wrath, you can't decide to spare enemies or let them go. You can't decide to flee combat, or stay away from enemies that you're aware of. You must always make an attack, or take an opportunity attack on an enemy if you can (if you can't, you must always use your movement to get within range of an enemy). If you take damage as a result of an allies action, you will now consider this ally an enemy until the end of the primal wrath.

Superior Powers

At 18th level, your power dice turn into d12s.
