The Vanguard - The Ultimate Shield (5e)
Pulling their face mask up¸ a scalded human clad in plate mail fights through the flames to fight for their village¸ the smoke blinding his eyes. He raises his shield to deflect a bloodied spear inches away from skewering him. A half-orc buries his sword into a grounded mercenary and dislodges it. A sigh gets caught in his throat as he lets it clatter to the ground¸ metal resonating against stone¸ rushing to intercept the arrow hurling towards his unaware companion. Becoming overcome with a raging bloodlust¸ a dwarven woman winces as a thrown dagger punctures her armor. Instead of dropping down¸ she draws upon the pain to charge forward to trample the one who slaughtered her family so many years ago. Introducing the Vanguard¸ a class designed to take hits so your allies don't have to¸ all the while making use of their sacrifice in order to strengthen themselves.
