On a hit, the creature takes 2d8 damage and is pushed back by 5 feet. The damage increases to 3d8 at 6th level.

Protector

You can use an action to create a magical shield for everyone nearby. Every creature of your choosing within 10 feet immediately gains temporary hit points equal to 1d8 + your constitution modifier, or 1d8 plus your spellcasting ability if you are a spellcaster. The amount of temporary hit points increases to 2d8 at 6th level.
