[edit] Campaign Information
[edit] Playing a Guardian
| This section needs a more complete description. For more information please look here |
Religion: Most Guardians in the world do not follow one deity. However they are known to follow any god that provides protection as one of their domains.
Other Classes: Guardians fit into just about every adventuring party that they come by or join. They tend to be very helpful in many ways as far as setting up camps or helping fix a broken cart. Guardians sometimes choose to follow the path of the cleric or the Paladin later in life as they become more attached to a god.
Combat: Typically a Guardian takes up the front line of combat in most situations. They will not focus on seeking out an opponent, they rather help an ally overcome their's and protect them.

<-Where characters of this class fit in a d20 world.->
Daily Life: <-day in the life of a character of this class->.
Notables: <-notable NPCs of this class->.
Organizations: <-info on what, where, when, and how characters of this class congregtate and assemble->.
NPC Reactions: Due to the fact that the sole reason for an Aura Guardian to live is to protect others most everyone loves them. Wizards enjoy adventuring with Aura Guardians more than almost any other class due to the fact that they are able to cast freely and feel safe when concentrating on a spell, while sorcerers enjoy the protection provides conflicts sometimes arise due to the free spirited nature of the sorcerer. Ranged attackers also enjoy the protection provided. Rouges, ninjas, and the like are often put off by the fact that they must remain so close the the Guardian in order to truly benefit them and its a little hard to be sneaky with a walking pile of metal 20 feet away.
