Mist Guardians

The Mist guardians have spent time in the Wilds of the Fey, and because of this they have learned the secrets to hidden warfare. This archetype embodies the one who is the unsung hero and defender of the people. Often times many villages and cities chalk their fortunes up to gods favor with out realizing there is a Mist Guardian in the area. Despite the name these rangers have dedicated themselves to becoming masters at the art of guerrilla warfare. 

Most times the mist guardians work by themselves, but can be a valuable asset to a group of adventures. Many times lords, Regents and kings will hire a Mist guardian to help protect their kingdoms and Providences. to have the eire  of a Mist Guardian is a dangerous game to play. 

Starting at Level 1, the Mist guardians gain their signature MO, they always have a mist effect that ever so slightly rolls off their bodies. This does nothing more than add an affect for role play purposes. This is the bi-product for spending so much time among the mist of the fey wilds, many of the Mist guardians are born in the Fey realms and because of this they can be quit eccentric. Many have different reason once they leave the Fey Realm as to why they offer Safe haven to places, some do it to help keep the mortal races from encroaching into the Fey Lands others do it for the valor and glory, and some do it because they do not wish the torment that they experienced in the Fey lands at the hands of lesser Fey and Fey lords. 

Regardless of what race you pick, you may use the following racial feat

• Fey teleportation

Safe Haven

Starting at 3rd level the ranger spends 1 week exploring the area in which he chooses to watch over. During that week they must explore all borders of the protected area placing warding stones along the border. The stones do not have to be magical in nature, a particular formation of stones every  5 miles is enough. The ranger than channels some of his magic into each stone. A final stone is placed in the town or the center of the 20 mile sphere. The ranger may only have one safe haven active at a time, although the ranger may make another one anytime he chooses but the initial one will stop being active the moment the second ritual is complete.  

The Ranger is afforded the following benefits after the ritual is complete. 

• Each stone acts as a diviner tool for the ranger allowing the ranger to view through the stone up to 1 mile 
• All terrain with in the Safe haven is treated as favored, regardless of weather it is on the favored terrain list.
• Anytime anything with the alignment of Evil crosses the threshold the Ranger is warned immediately and knows the precise location up to 100 yards. 

 

Ambush

Starting at 3rd level, the Mist Guardian no longer considers any evil that has trespassed into his lands or those that would bring harm upon those he chooses to defend as honorable foes, and for that his attacks become more lethal in nature. Often times the Mist guardian will post signs along roads warning that these lands are protected and any one disrupting the good will suffer a fate worse than death. 

The Mist guardians Ranged attacks can now benefit from Ambush dice. These dice can be used anytime the Mist guardian acts first, is hidden, or has advantage. Ambush dice do not stack with Sneak attack dice. The Mist guardian gains 1D8 on his attack. The Mist Guardian may only benefit from this once per a turn.

At Higher Levels: The ambush dice increases by 1d8 at 6th, 9th, 12th and 15th level 

Fog of War
