Overview and Creation

A dark-skinned human quickly runs down a corridor, the metal armor under his grey cloak clanking with each step. He rounds the corner into the prison while the lights and power are still out, urging the weakened prisoners to escape. Just then a handful of slavers arrive and ready their blasters. The man draws and ignites a white-bladed lightsaber, ready to die for the strangers behind him. A sith pureblood, clad head to toe in black and red armor, charges towards a line of soldiers. Shot after shot deflects off his armor until he reaches his prey, where he unleashes his fury in a series of devastating lightsaber sweeps. A zabrak general dramatically leaps to his soon-to-be overrun squad, landing with a flurry of lightsaber attacks. At the arrival of this powerful Jedi, the attackers fall back. Guardians are the master of the art of lightsaber combat. They focus on utilizing the everpresent power of the Force to enable devastating attacks, often single-handedly turning the tide of battle.

Protector or Destroyer

An unstoppable agent of the Force, the guardian channels the power flowing through him into his weapons. Their skills with a lightsaber are unrivalled. Subduing their enemies and bolstering their allies, the guardian uses the Force to control what happens around them.

Natural Leaders

The guardian’s command of the Force lends them a powerful presence. Whether through fear and intimidation or respect and admiration, the guardian is one of the greatest generals on the battlefield. They are a symbol of power to their followers. While creating your guardian, consider your attraction to the Force and its most famous practitioners - the Jedi and the Sith. Are you a member of one of the two orders, or do you walk a different path? Are you a soldier tapping into a latent Force-sensitivity? Were you trained in the force from a young age, or did you discover it as an adult? How do you treat those weaker than you? What was your family like? Do you see the Force as light and dark, or an impartial river of gray?

Quick Build

You can make a guardian quickly by following these suggestions. First, make Strength your highest ability score, followed by Constitution. Second, choose the Jedi or Sith background.

Spellcasting

FORCECASTING In your meditations on the force, you have learned powers, fragments of knowledge that imbue you with an abiding force ability. See chapter 10 for the general rules of forcecasting and chapter 11 for the force powers list. FORCE POWERS KNOWN You learn 4 force powers of your choice, and you learn more at higher levels, as shown in the Force Powers Known column of the guardian class table. You may not learn a force power of a level higher than your Max Power Level, and you may learn a force power at the same time you learn its prerequisite. FORCE POINTS You have a number of force points equal to your guardian level x 2, as shown in the Force Points column of the guardian class table, + your Wisdom or Charisma modifier (your choice). You use these force points to cast force powers. You regain all expended force points when you finish a long rest. MAX POWER LEVEL Many force powers can be overpowered, consuming more force points to create a greater effect. You can overpower these abilities to a maximum level, which increases at higher levels, as shown in the Max Power Level column of the guardian class table. You may only cast force powers at 5th-level once. You regain the ability to do so after a long rest. FORCECASTING ABILITY Your forcecasting ability varies based on the alignment of the powers you cast. You use your Wisdom for light side powers, Charisma for dark side powers, and Wisdom or Charisma for universal powers (your choice). You use this ability score modifier whenever a power refers to your forcecasting ability. In addition, you use this ability score modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a force power you cast and when making an attack roll with one. Force save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus +your forcecasting ability modifier Force attack modifier = your proficiency bonus +your forcecasting ability modifier

The extra damage is 2d8 for a 1st-level force slot, plus 1d8 for each slot level higher than 1st, to a maximum of 5d8. The damage is the same type as the weapon’s damage. You can’t use a higher level force slot than your Max Power Level. GUARDIAN AURA Additionally at 2nd level, you gain an aura of your choice, as described at the end of the class description.

Subclasses

GUARDIAN FOCI Different guardians focus on different lightsaber fighting styles, called Forms, as they hone their powers.

FORM I: SHII-CHO

Form I, also known as Determination Form, uses wild, unpredictable attacks designed to distract and disarm their foes. Those guardians who focus on Shii-Cho Form make seemingly random, yet deliberate, attacks to knock their opponents off-balance. FIGHTING STYLE When you choose this form as your focus at 3rd level, you adopt a style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one from the Dueling, Equilibrium, or Two-Weapon Fighting Fighting Style options, detailed in Chapter 6. You can’t take a Fighting Style option more than once, even if you later get to choose again. THE WAY OF THE SARLAAC Also at 3rd level, as a bonus action, you can enter a frenetic stance for one minute. While in this stance, the first time you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack on your turn, it has disadvantage on the next melee attack roll it makes against you before the start of your next turn. Additionally, if that creature is within 5 feet of you, it must make a Strength saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength or Dexterity modifier). On a failed save, it is pushed back 5 feet, and you can immediately move into the space it just vacated without provoking opportunity attacks. This effect ends early if you are incapacitated or die. Once you’ve used this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest. CHANNEL THE FORCE Lastly at 3rd level, you gain the following Channel the Force option. DISARMING SLASH When you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you can expend a use of your Channel the Force (no action required) to attempt to disarm the target, forcing it to drop one item of your choice that it’s holding. The creature must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, it drops the object you choose. If you are within 5 feet of the target, and you have a free hand, you can catch the item. Otherwise, the object lands at its feet. UNPREDICTABLE MOTION Beginning at 7th level, while you are wielding a melee weapon, opportunity attacks against you are made at disadvantage. SARLAAC SWEEP Starting at 15th level, when a creature moves to within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to make a melee weapon attack against that creature. If the attack hits, you can attempt to damage another creature within 5 feet of the original target and within your reach. If the original attack roll would hit the second creature, it takes damage equal to your Strength or Dexterity modifier (your choice). The damage is of the same type dealt by the original attack. MASTER OF DETERMINATION At 20th level, the erratic fluidity of your movement confounds even the most determined of foes. Your Strength or Dexterity and Wisdom or Charisma scores (your choice) increase by 2. Your maximum for these scores increases by 2. Additionally, you can use your action to gain the following benefits for 1 minute: You have resistance to kinetic and energy damage from unenhanced weapons. Attack rolls made against you can’t have advantage. When more than one creature is within 5 feet of you, you gain a bonus to your Armor Class equal to the number of creatures within 5 feet of you, up to your Wisdom or Charisma modifier (your choice, minimum of one). When you use your Sarlaac Sweep feature, you have advantage on the attack roll, and you can apply the bonus damage to every creature within 5 feet of you. This effect ends early if you are incapacitated or die. Once you’ve used this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.

FORM II: MAKASHI

Form II, also known as Contention Form, encourages precision and efficiency over power, using jabs, parries and light cuts over slashes, blocks and chops. Those guardians who focus on Makashi Form utilize calculated blade manipulation, intense focus, and expert timing to confuse and trap their opponents. FIGHTING STYLE When you choose this form as your focus at 3rd level, you adopt a style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one from the Dueling, Equilibrium, or Sentinel Fighting Style options, detailed in Chapter 6. You can’t take a Fighting Style option more than once, even if you later get to choose again. THE WAY OF THE YSALAMIRI Also at 3rd level, as a bonus action, you can enter an offensive stance for one minute. While in this stance, you add your Wisdom or Charisma modifier (your choice) to the first melee weapon attack and damage rolls you make each turn. This effect ends early if you are incapacitated or die. Once you’ve used this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest. CHANNEL THE FORCE Lastly at 3rd level, you gain the following Channel the Force option. MAKASHI RIPOSTE When another creature damages you with a melee attack, you can expend a use of your Channel the Force and use your reaction to attempt to deflect the attack. When you do so, the damage you take from the attack is reduced by 1d10 + your Dexterity modifier + your guardian level. If you reduce the damage to 0, you can immediately make a single melee weapon attack against that creature as a part of the reaction. SHATTERPOINT Starting at 7th level, if you spend at least 1 minute observing or interacting with another creature outside combat, you can use your connection to the Force to sense their strengths and weaknesses, and learn certain information about its capabilities compared to your own. The GM tells you if the creature is your equal, superior, or inferior in regard to two of the following characteristics of your choice: Strength score Dexterity score Wisdom score Charisma score Armor Class Current hit points Total class levels (if any) Total Forcecaster levels (if any) GLANCING BLOW Starting at 15th level, when an attacker that you can see hits you with an attack, you can use your reaction to halve the attack’s damage against you. MASTER OF CONTENTION At 20th level, you are a duelist of the highest caliber. Your Dexterity and Wisdom or Charisma scores (your choice) increase by 2. Your maximum for those scores increases by 2. Additionally, you can use your action to gain the following benefits for 1 minute: You have resistance to kinetic and energy damage, and you ignore resistance to kinetic and energy damage. All melee attacks have disadvantage against you. Your melee weapon attacks inflict an additional damage die. This effect ends early if you are incapacitated or die. Once you’ve used this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.

FORM III: SORESU

Form III, also known as Resilience Form, relies on tight bladework and subtle dodges to provide maximum defensive coverage, minimizing exposure to ranged weaponry. Those guardians who focus on Soresu Form use broad footwork to move around the playing field, making broad, short sweeping motions that protect the body. BONUS PROFICIENCIES You gain proficiency in heavy armor. FIGHTING STYLE When you choose this form as your focus at 3rd level, you adopt a style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one from the Defense, Shielding, or Sentinel Fighting Style options, detailed in Chapter 6. You can’t take a Fighting Style option more than once, even if you later get to choose again. THE WAY OF THE MYNOCK Also at 3rd level, as a bonus action, you can enter a defensive stance for one minute. As a part of this bonus action, and as a bonus action on each of your turns, you can cast the saber ward power. When you do so, you have a number of special reactions equal to your proficiency bonus that you can only use to cast the saber reflect force power. You can only take one reaction per turn. This effect ends early if you are incapacitated or die. Once you’ve used this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest. CHANNEL THE FORCE Lastly at 3rd level, you gain the following Channel the Force option. ADVANCING DEFENDER When you cast the saber reflect power, you can expend a use of your Channel the Force to move up to 10 feet as a part of that same reaction. This movement does not provoke opportunity attacks. CIRCLE OF SHELTER At 7th level, you learn to fend off strikes directed at you, your mount, or other creatures nearby. If you or a creature you can see within 5 feet of you is hit by an attack, you can use your reaction to ward the creature if you’re wielding a melee weapon or a shield. Roll 1d8 and add the number rolled to the target’s AC against that attack. If the attack still hits, the target has resistance against the attack’s damage. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Constitution modifier (a minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. STAND AGAINST THE TIDE Beginning at 15th level, when a hostile creature misses you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction to force that creature to repeat the same attack against another creature (other than itself) of your choice. MASTER OF RESILIENCE At 20th level, your presence on the field of battle is an inspiration to your allies. Your Constitution and Wisdom or Charisma scores (your choice) increase by 2. Your maximum for those scores increases by 2. Additionally, you can use your action to gain the following benefits for 1 minute: You have resistance to kinetic and energy damage from unenhanced weapons. When you use the saber reflect force power, you can make a single melee attack on an enemy within 5ft of you as a part of that same reaction. You have advantage on Dexterity saving throws, as do your allies within 30 feet of you. This effect ends early if you are incapacitated or die. Once you’ve used this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
