Feats/Guardian

Main > Feats > Combat Styles > Guardian Style > Guardian

(Combat)

Guardians specialize in protecting their allies and drawing the ire of their enemies.

Benefit: You gain the ability to gain and expend martial focus, and you gain a delayed damage pool equal to your 3 x your base attack bonus.

When you receive damage, as part of taking the damage you may redirect all or part of it to your delayed damage pool. Apply damage reduction and resistance before redirecting the damage. You may not redirect damage that would exceed the maximum capacity of the damage pool.

Your delayed damage pool empties at the end of your turn each round, inflicting any damage stored in the pool on you, bypassing any damage reduction or resistance you possess and resetting to 0. Any additional effects of the attack, such as poison, are still incurred immediately even if the entire damage of the attack is redirected to the delayed damage pool.

Any healing you receive in excess of your maximum hp automatically reduces the amount of damage in your delayed damage pool.

Should you lose access to the Guardian sphere, any damage (or other effects if you possess certain feats) is incurred at the end of your turn.

Package: In addition, you gain one of the following packages with its included abilities. You may take the Expanded Guardian feat to gain the other package.
