Warden, Variant (5e Subclass)

The Warden

Wardens draw on primal power to defend nature against those who would corrupt or destroy it. Some use the power of the elements to shield others from harm. Others summon primal strength from within to increase their ferocity and tenacity.

Natural Strength flows through wardens as they defend the balance.
