Too Strong for CR[edit]
This is waaayyy to strong for a CR 4. The AC is acceptable, but having a shield cancels any versatile properties of weapons. The health is copy/ pasted from the Gladiator NPC in the MM, but it has more drawbacks. The Gladiator's AC is 16 to counteract the raw damage output from its three attacks, prone ability, and extra damage dice. The Royal GUard can take a Gladiator extremely easily, which is a little disconcerting since the Guard is a CR 4; that's one less than the Gladiator. Also, Legendary Actions? That stuff is for legendary creatures (i.e. a CR of 10 or higher). If you want this Royal Guard to be that immensely powerful, edit the Challenge Rating.
