As mountains stand fast against the buffeting wind and trees bend but do not break in the storm, wardens are stalwart protectors who draw on the primal spirits of nature to defend the natural world from those who would corrupt or destroy it. Some wardens use the power of earth and stone to shield their allies from harm, whereas others summon the primal strength within themselves to increase their ferocity and tenacity.
As a warden, you might be the staunch defender of a tribe, chosen by the spirits to be your people’s champion. Perhaps you were visited by spirits at a sacred grove and charged with protecting it against a spreading corruption. You might have been raised by a bear or nurtured by dryads, chosen from infancy to stand fast against nature’s enemies.
Primal power waits in the ground beneath your feet, surges with every beat of your heart, and flows through your lungs with every breath. The world cries out to you, calling for a champion to defend it. Will you heed its call?
“The rivers are my blood; the mountain wind, my voice. My body is the earth, and from the power of the primal spirits, I draw strength to fight the foes of nature.”
You ARE the rock that stands against the storm, protecting the world from those that would destroy or corrupt it. You are a warden, and your duty is to protect your allies and the natural order. For you, it is an honor to preserve the world against chaos and depravation.
Other heroes trust to the strength of armor and weapons, or to the might of spells and prayers. However, as a warden, you know that steel, arcane magic, and even the might of the gods can’t stand for long against the power of nature. The strength you draw from land and sky, forest and river drives your need to defend and heal your land and allies—your role reflecting that of the primal spirits who are the protectors of the world. The evocations you summon up can unleash destructive energy that drops foes at your feet. More important, your primal fury fuels your transformation into a guardian form, granting you powerful abilities and attacks.
Wardens have the following class features.
At the start of your turn, you can make a saving throw against one effect that a save can end. On a save, the effect immediately ends, preventing it from affecting you on your current turn. If you save against being stunned or dazed, you can act normally on your turn. If you save against ongoing damage, you avoid taking the damage.
If you fail the saving throw, you still make a saving throw against the effect at the end of your turn.
Wardens connect with the natural world in a variety of ways to augment their fighting abilities. Choose one of the following options.
In addition, when you use your second wind, you slide each enemy marked by you and within 2 squares of you 1 square, and each enemy marked by you is slowed until the end of your next turn.
Lifespirit and Stormheart are Guardian Might options from Primal Power.
Whatever manifestation of Guardian Might you choose, this class feature is more than simply a pair of game benefits—it’s a representation of your connection to the natural world.
Each form of Guardian Might allows you to use a different ability score—either Wisdom or Constitution—instead of Dexterity or Intelligence to determine your Armor Class. In the rules of the game, that’s an incentive to keep you in light armor. But in the world of the game, it reflects how the primal spirits shield and protect you from harm. They toughen your skin to ward off blows, swirl around you in gusts of wind that deflect attacks, or infuse you with life-giving power to heal your wounds before you even feel their effects.
The other part of Guardian Might is an additional effect that takes place when you use your second wind. All characters can draw on reserves of strength and health within themselves by using their second wind. When you do so, however, you’re not just drawing on power within yourself, but on the life of the primal spirits that surround you in the earth and sky. When you draw on that power, the spirits respond. They ward you against further attack (Earthstrength), make you a greater threat in your enemies’ eyes (Wildblood), aid your allies (Lifespirit), or gust in furious winds to send your enemies staggering (Stormheart).
Once during each of your turns, you can mark each adjacent enemy as a free action. This mark lasts until the end of your next turn. In addition, you gain the warden’s fury and warden’s grasp powers. You can use these powers against enemies to prevent them from harming those you protect.
You can choose any warden powers you like for your character, though many wardens focus on powers that complement their choice of Guardian Might. All wardens rely on Strength. Wardens also benefit from a high Constitution or Wisdom, depending on which expression of warden they favor.
This section presents two new builds, the life warden and the storm warden. Each build has a new Guardian Might option associated with it, either of which you can choose when you make your warden.
You draw primal power through a link with the land, and the power of the earth strengthens and sustains you. Make Strength your highest ability score, followed by Constitution, which increases your AC as well as your hit points if you choose the Earthstrength version of Guardian Might. Select powers that channel primal energy through the land around you, hindering your foes’ movement or knocking them prone. You lean toward controller as a secondary role.
Suggested Class Feature: Earthstrength
Suggested Feat: Crushing Earthstrength
Suggested Skills: Athletics, Heal, Nature, Perception
Suggested At-Will Powers: earth shield strike, strength of stone
Suggested Encounter Power: thunder ram assault
Suggested Daily Power: form of the willow sentinel
By drawing deep on the primal currents flowing through all things, you wield the power that was the first spark of life in the mortal realm. With that power, you shelter the world from its harshest enemies, bolstering your allies even as you defend the land. Your bond to the land is such that life flourishes when you draw on the primal magic you command. Injuries mend, sickness passes, and your allies fight with renewed vigor. Your spear, shield, and armor might be your obvious tools of war, but your ability to ignite the spark of life in the face of a deadly enemy is your greatest talent. Your foes assail you again and again, but their efforts mean nothing. Your primal magic mends the injuries they cause and strikes them down to end their violence once and for all.
Strength is your most important ability, governing your attacks and the beneficial power that your successful attacks unleash. A high Wisdom benefits your Will while also increasing your AC, and Wisdom is the cornerstone of many of the benefits granted by your powers. This build reinforces your leadership role, and powers that channel benefits to your allies are your best choice.

The strength of the storm is the epitome of primal power, from the screaming winds and relentless snows of the highest mountains to the lashing rains and blistering lightning of a summer thunderstorm. Although all wardens draw power from nature, the storm warden has the strongest connection to nature’s wrath.
You are the sword of the rumbling storm, an avenging warrior whose primal magic swirls around your chosen enemies like the gathering winds of a hurricane. You draw your enemies close to you, keeping them near with primal magic to prevent them from escaping your wrath. Once a foe falls into your magic’s grasp, it cannot escape.
The storm simmers around you, ready to rumble to life when your foe draws near. When the storm surges to life, it cuts off your enemy’s escape and forces it into a fight it cannot win. By your blade or by the primal winds you command, your foe’s aggression comes to an end.
As with all wardens, Strength is your most important ability score. Constitution should be your next best score, since it improves your AC and the benefits of many of your warden powers. As a storm warden, you lean toward controller as a secondary role, and your powers should draw on the savagery of the elements to punish your enemies, particularly those marked by you.

Many of your daily powers are polymorph powers, which change your body into a guardian form, allowing you to take on the qualities of a beast spirit or a tree spirit. You remain in this form until the end of the encounter or until you choose to assume a new form. While you are in this form, you retain the ability to use your equipment and other powers.
In addition to a physical transformation, each guardian form power also grants you an attack you can make as a separate action (the action type is specified in the power description). You can use this attack once during the same encounter in which you use the guardian form power and only while you remain in that guardian form.
Still and silent as the towering oaks, a gnarled warrior watches for signs of aberrant activity in the forest. Filled with the righteous fury of the primal spirits, a weathered champion swings a wooden cudgel to smite the foes of nature. Drawing on the strength of the earth beneath her feet, a warden becomes like stone—immovable, impassive, and steadfast.
A warden is the quintessential protector, a manifestation of nature’s desire to protect itself from corruption and harm. As a warrior whose powers channel the primal spirits, you take on those spirits’ mission, protecting the natural world and helping it thrive.
A warden is defined by his or her commitment to defending the natural world, but this commitment is more than simple tradition. The truth of the wardens’ origins is not secret, but neither is it well known outside the narrow orders of those who wield primal power.
The oldest ancestor spirits say that barbarians, shamans, and druids have been a part of the natural order for all time. Throughout the histories of all races—and perhaps before the first peoples had even taken shape—barbarians have raged at the forefront of combat, druids have hunted along side the beasts whose shape they take, and shamans have spoken for the primal spirits that watch over the land. However, wardens are a more recent order, forged in response to the progress of history—and the threats that recent events have unleashed.
Over the course of countless centuries, the rise of civilized and monstrous empires spread violence and war across the world. In reaction to the threat posed by the ambitions of emperors and kings—and by the powerful magic their forces wielded the primal spirits worked subtly within the sentient races to create a new type of champion.
You and your kind are that champion—as potent in a fight as any barbarian, channeling powers of transformation in the manner of the druids, and calling on the magic of the primal spirits to produce mighty evocations of combat and healing. The warden’s powers of protection and defense give you the same role and responsibilities toward your allies as the primal spirits have toward the natural world. Your warden powers fill a niche addressed by none of the other primal classes. As a symbol of your defensive prowess, you rely on the strength of the shield that other primal heroes cannot naturally integrate with their own fighting styles.
Your life as a warden is likely to be defined by how you balance the responsibilities thrust upon you. You might feel the constant tug of obligation to the people of your homeland, even when your life as an adventurer takes you far from the place of your birth.
As a member of an adventuring party, you often mean the difference between life and death for friends who cannot match your endurance. How do you balance what might be convicting drives to protect your homeland, your party, and the natural world?
Traveling to new places—and particularly to other planes—comes easier to the druid, the barbarian, and even the shaman than it does to many wardens. Your obligation to defend your homeland and the wider natural world might make it difficult for you to leave that homeland or world behind. However, eventually you must accept that your destiny lies beyond the lands of your birth, and that your mandate to defend the world will inevitably set you against foes from beyond that world.
Your devotion to your people likely translates to an unfailing dedication to the allies in your adventuring party. Some wardens take this unconscious role even further, adopting strangers who appear to be in need of defending. Though barbarians, druids, and shamans typically remain closely tied to their own ancestors and patron spirits, wardens can tap into the spiritual power that surrounds and protects any people, defending strangers as fiercely as they do the members of their own families.
In many of the wild and dark places of the world, wardens stand at the center of small, loose-knit organizations known as warding circles. Some warding circles are dedicated to preserving certain geographical regions, while others focus on defending the world and its inhabitants against particular kinds of threats, but all owe their inspiration to a group of elder spirits known as the Monster Slayers (page 125). Sidebars throughout this chapter give examples of prominent warding circles.
A typical warding circle has only one or perhaps two wardens at its center. Six or seven other members round out the circle. In exceptional circumstances, these other members might also be heroic characters; this occurs most often when a player character warden establishes a warding circle and calls on fellow adventurers to join the circle’s membership. Other circles are made up of more ordinary folk (whose statistics might be drawn from the Monster Manual or Monster Manual 2 entries for humans, elves, gnomes, shifters, dwarves, goliaths, half-orcs, and other races).
A warding circle typically operates in a limited geographical area and has no contact with other circles unless its territory overlaps with that of another one. No hierarchy or overarching organization links circles to each other, even those that share a common tradition and name. For example, the Circle of Summer’s Shield that protects the settlements along the Nentir River has no connection to the similar Circle of Summer’s Shield that patrols the distant Icepine Wood, far to the north. The two circles have similar beliefs, practices, and traditions-probably dating from a time when the power of Nerath facilitated easy communication between such far-flung circles.
Warding circles are typically not long-lived organizations, and few members of any individual circle expect it to last forever. However, the Warding Circles of New Kin are even more ephemeral than most.
For a single season, the members of a Circle of New Kin adopt a settlement or a tribe as if its members were their own blood. A Circle of New Kin dedicates itself to seeking out and destroying whatever threatens its temporary community, although the abilities of circle members to root out bad leadership, overcome taboos, or change people’s outlook are limited.
Warding Circles of New Kin draw on the assistance and example of an elder spirit named Blood Cousin (page 111), an entity dedicated to seeing followers of the spirit way set aside their conflicts and work together for the benefit of all. Even with such power behind them, however, members of a Circle of New Kin must maintain a delicate balance in what they do. Relationships among disparate peoples are often complicated by old grudges, minor disagreements, communication barriers, and other obstacles, and circle members who attempt to broker peace between feuding groups sometimes leave even bloodier conflicts behind them when they eventually move on.
The Circles of Summer’s Shield patrol the forests, deserts, and mountains where remote towns and villages stand against encroaching darkness. Through the tireless work of the members of a circle, a rampaging elemental that might level a settlement or the hobgoblin raiders set on enslaving a remote freehold are kept at bay.
For the members of these circles, the spread of civilization in the form of frontier settlements is as much a part of the natural order as the flow of rivers and the growth of forests. Especially in the long aftermath of the fall of Nerath, holding back the darkness that spreads between the far-flung outposts of civilization requires exceptional bravery. The wardens, rangers, sorcerers, barbarians, and druids of a Circle of Summer’s Shield are up to the task.
Members of this circle display a yellow disk representing the sun somewhere on their shield, armor, or cloak. They typically work alone or in small groups, meeting at ancient monuments at the winter solstice to share news and prepare for the next year.
The Circles of the Dark Wing hunt those who would break the cycle of life with the blasphemy of undeath. Wardens and other characters within a Circle of the Dark Wing hunt down liches, vampires, and other free-willed undead. They seek out and destroy tomes and other references that detail the secrets of creating or becoming undead, and they oppose the dark work of necromancers wherever such individuals are found. Members of the circle wear a black cloak to mark their affiliation.
Though the members of these circles follow no single path, the Dark Wing contains many heroes willing to go to extremes in the pursuit of their goals. The fanaticism of these zealots has made outlaws of all circle members in some areas—particularly those lands that have heard of the burning of the Grand library of Tyrath. The priests of Ioun who kept the library had long ago taken into their safekeeping several volumes of dark lore from the legendary city of Moll. One Circle of the Dark Wing decided that burning the site to the ground was the best way to destroy the books and the dark secrets they held.
Most who follow the spirit way—including many other wardens—reject the fanaticism of the Circle of the Dark Wing. Moreover, based on the circle’s chosen emblem, many wonder openly what relationship might exist between the order and the Raven Queen.
The warden who forged the first Warding Circle of the One Pack believed that all worldly creatures are connected in a complex web of life, from the lowliest ant to the most powerful mage. However, he believed that this web remains intact only as long as creatures of other planes remain sequestered from the world.
Members of the Circles of the One Pack wear no symbol of their allegiance, the better to surprise their foes. They wander on their own or in small bands, always on the lookout for signs marking the presence of planar beings in the world—from news of far-off wars, to the rise of evil cults, to undue influence by gods, primordials, fiends, and archfey. Circle members can be friendly toward planar visitors that want to live in harmony with the world (most eladrin, for example). However, otherworldly creatures that seek to subvert or dominate worldly realms are confronted and eliminated.
Those who have heard of the Circles of the One Pack are likely familiar with one circle’s victory against an insane cleric of Torog, laying claim to powerful magic, this mad priest set out to bore a tunnel to the heart of the world and unleash his deity’s wrath. Wardens from the circle infiltrated the cleric’s operations, slaying him and his legion of monstrous followers in a battle that has become the subject of legend and song.
A Circle of the Stars is composed of seekers and explorers who delve into the unknown to root out and destroy the terrors it hides. These wardens and their allies hunt for news of lost dungeons, secret passages to the Underdark, and tales of subterranean races. They organize expeditions to map the reaches of the deep, dedicating themselves to uncovering and defeating its menaces long before they can threaten the people of the surface.
Wardens of this circle favor blue cloaks, decorated with patterns of stars sewn in with white or silver thread. High-level members of the order can will the stars to shine on their cloaks when they wish.
Members of a Circle of the Stars maintain detailed maps of the areas of the Underdark they have explored. Such maps might provide adventure hooks for wardens associated with the circle.
Unlike a shaman, you are not in constant contact with the primal spirits that are the source of your power. Your link to the spirit world is strongest when you are in a guardian form. In your guardian form, you invite the primal spirits to enter your body and make it theirs, and in that moment of transformation you learn much of their wisdom and their will.
Consequently, you might make an effort to use one of your guardian forms at least once a day. Even if combat doesn’t make that transformation necessary, you adopt a guardian form to meditate and commune with the spirits. When you do use a guardian form power in combat, you might linger in that form as long as possible once the battle is over, savoring your intimate communion with the spirits for as long as it lasts.
Quiet contemplation isn’t the only form of connection with the spirits that you might enjoy in guardian form. Depending on the form you assume, you might howl with the icy winds of a terrible blizzard, leap among the flames of a forest fire, or fly among the clouds in a summer thunderstorm, all in an effort to draw closer to the primal spirits of those natural forces.
When wardens gather, it’s not uncommon for them to greet each other with a shift into guardian form, spend a few moments in shared communication with the spirits, and then launch into a furious melee, unleashing the full power of the spirits upon each other. Such ceremonial combats are rarely fatal, instead serving to draw the gathered wardens together in a common purpose and invoke the spirits’ participation in their activities together.
A warden feels most at home in the wilderness, stalking among the trees, scaling broad cliff faces, and navigating narrow canyons. Why does your warden character feel so drawn to the wild places of the world? Perhaps you encountered a primal spirit at some point in your childhood or youth—an awesome experience of the spirit’s presence and power that set you on the path toward becoming a warden. Perhaps you were born and raised in a wilderness area and simply find such places, far from the noise and bustle of civilization, comforting and familiar.
A warden rarely stays in one place for long, preferring to experience the broad range of environments that nature has to offer. Maybe you want to challenge your own mental and physical limitations, pushing them to extremes as you cross glaciers and deserts alike. Or you might be drawn by the possibility of discovering ancient primal secrets extending back to the early days of creation. Traveling the world might be a form of spiritual journey for you. Regardless of what drives you to explore, you are at home in the wildest places of the world.
In these times, those who follow the spirit way are as likely to live in towns or villages, settled and civilized, as they are to wander in tribal groups and follow traditional ways. Occasionally, ancestor spirits grow angry with their descendants, believing that this sedentary life has made them soft and weak. In their anger, they withhold their support and power, while urging those who commune with them to demonstrate their worthiness to receive the ancestor’s support. They drive their descendants to war in pursuit of glory.
Though it happens rarely, it’s not unknown for a young man or woman who demonstrates an affinity for the primal spirits to become suddenly violent, having fallen under the sway of a warlike ancestor. Some of these individuals become criminals, seeking out the descendants of ancient tribal enemies and killing them brutally in mismatched combat. Others become adventurers-often wardens or barbarians—who seek to please their warlike ancestors and win glory by slaying monsters that threaten their civilized homes.
Your powers, called evocations, channel primal energy through your body. Some draw their strength from the earth, others call on primal beast spirits, and still others evoke the spirits of trees and other plants. They are listed below by the level at which you gain access to them.
Many of the powers in this section are tailored for the life warden and the storm warden. However, wardens of any build can make good use of the options presented here, expanding their versatility on and off the battlefield.

At 11th level a warden may take one of these paragon paths. Each grants path features at 11th and 16th levels plus the encounter, utility, and daily evocations shown.
“We are all animals. Only our arrogance separates us from our more wild kin.”
The primal power you wield has formed a bond between you and the natural creatures of the world. In their myriad forms, you see fractured reflections of a greater being: the Primal Beast, who was the world’s first predator. All the hunting animals of the world — mighty lions and howling wolves, lowly ferrets and soaring eagles — hold a distant echo of the Primal Beast in their hearts. In your commitment to protect the world from demons, aberrations, and other beings that would corrupt the balance of nature, you find yourself growing closer to the Primal Beast’s perfection. That growth is reflected in your bloodwrath — the heightened speed you gain when you adopt a guardian form, and the fury that punishes the enemies you mark.

“My weapon strikes with the north wind’s savage bite. You aren’t mighty enough to stand against it.”
You are part of a tradition that considers the north wind to be your spiritual parent, and you revere the spirits that first breathed life into the world. Members of your tradition can be found wherever the north wind blows.
As a child of the north wind, you are a pillar of strength in your party, your courage as unceasing as a gale. When you are embattled, you call on the ferocity of windstorms to aid your attacks.

“My strength is the strength of the earth. There is no shame in your falling, but you would be foolish to attempt to rise.”
Regardless of the combat tricks you have learned during your adventuring career and the tactics with which Yoll have surprised your enemies, a part of you yearns for direct and uncomplicated applications of might. The path of the earth shaker appeals to you because it matches strength to strength-your mastery of weapons augmented by the power of the earth beneath your feet, working together to oppose the raw might of dragons and behemoths, demons and deities.
The strength of earth that you draw on allows you to move through the ground at speed, even as your attacks bypass an opponent’s armor to strike at the body within. Your connection to the natural world allows you to seek out targets behind obstacles or even within the ground, and your attacks can knock your foes down.

Whether you fight from the front or strike from the side, your allies can rely on you.

“Don’t speak to me of your petty concerns — speak to me of the world’s needs.”
You have communed with the spirits of the land and have been found worthy of the horned champion’s mantle. You transcend the flesh you were born with to become the chosen vessel of nature’s spirits. Your duty is to take up arms against the fell creatures of the land, to put an end to their destruction, and to restore the splendor of the untamed wilds. Becoming a horned champion is a transformative experience. Gone are the simple concerns that bound you to the world. You see the world on a grander scale, as an organism that must be protected against the abominations that would siphon its strength for dark purposes. Although it’s true that you care little for the individual’s suffering, your concern encompasses the natural world and all things living in it. Thus, in a way, your ties to others are deeper than friendship, for they are forged from the bonds that connect all living things.

“Submit, or feel the wrath of the season of death!”
Nature sleeps when winter falls, resting until the warmth of spring creeps across the land once more. Though forests grow quiet and few creatures stir, the warden’s duty endures when the land is at its most vulnerable.
An icewrought sentinel harnesses winter’s power for the world’s defense. Whether you are drawn to this path through a natural affinity for wintry wastes or a spiritual connection to the season of darkness, your first step on the path to becoming an icewrought sentinel brings about changes in your body. Your flesh feels cool to the touch. Your eyes become a deep blue but turn frost white when you are angry, and your lips and extremities take on a faint blue cast.

“The spirit of the couatl burns brightest.”
You raise your eyes and heart to the stars and to the spirit of the shining, winged serpents that helped tame the primordials. You have chosen the couatl as a spiritual ally, embracing that legendary creature’s power so thoroughly that you assume its very form. You emulate your shining ally by rising above the battle with a flourish of power or by passing through your enemies like a radiant spirit.

“Feel the wrath of the storm unleashed, for I am nature’s champion and none shall stand against me.”
To many, there is no clearer expression of the power of nature than the raging fury of the storm. Churning clouds, crashing thunder, and blasting lightning are manifestations of the rage coursing through the world when its natural laws are violated and its purity corrupted. When gods or primordials overstep their bounds, when demons or aberrant beings try to tear the fabric of reality, the fury of a storm — and its cleansing rain — are part of nature’s response. Most wardens draw power from the earth. As an incarnation of the storm’s wrath, your greatest primal power comes from the sky. Lightning flows in your veins, and thunder booms in your footsteps. As you advance along this path, you can transform yourself into wind and rain and can ultimately take on the aspect of storm’s wrath.

“You want them? You go through me first.”
All your life you have known you were destined for greatness, as did the ancestor spirits of your tribe’s great warriors. You owe your prowess in combat to the heroes whose blood flows in your veins. When you recover your strength in combat, these guardian spirits flash into sight for a moment, defending you from your enemies so that you can fight on.
The ancestral spirits that watch over you might represent any of the heroic classes of your people. The barbarian’s strength drives the fury of your attacks, just as the shaman’s wisdom inspires your tactics. However, in your determination to defend your allies and the world around you, you remain a warden through and through.

“I am one with the forest, and the forest is one with me.”
Like the trees of the forest, you draw strength from the loamy earth, from the water that spills from the sky and flows across the land, and from the radiance of the sun. You embrace the essence of the tree, becoming the forest’s protector, its champion against those that would despoil it. When you use your primal powers, shoots of new growth emerge from the ground, flowers bloom, and trees straighten with renewed vigor. You favor guardian form powers that let you take on treelike forms (such as form of the willow sentinel, form of the oak sentinel, and form of the rowan sentinel), but even when you take on other aspects, the earth responds with growth. As the culmination of this path, you can take on a form like that of a treant, smashing foes and objects alike with a weapon held in your branchlike fists.
