Green Guardian Default Path

← All default paths

A raging protector who draws foes onto themselves and shields allies from harm. Points follow the Barbarian progression; the Ancestral Guardian path needs the Suffusion source and the Divine domain, so goading maneuvers, Dampen Elements and Retaliation stand in for the ancestral spirits. The Life dedication and the inspiration it grants keep the party standing, and its auras of protection and warding play the part of Spirit Shield.
