Who it’s for

DMs who need a noble tank with clear motives — players who want a lawful protector vibe


Where to use

burned village investigation at Ishmar — a perfect circle with no ash
savanna patrols and border stones — honor trials at wayshrines
caravan escort across open plains — city-gate duels and diplomacy


How to run

boss defender who holds the line and calls single-combat
elite bodyguard with shield control and terms of safe passage
strict ally who enforces vows and treaties


Hooks

the circle without ash — who made the scarless sanctuary and why
the broken escort — a caravan vanished, only shield-marks remain
faith and doubt — Saiyara seeks a power that protects without scars


Closest D&D analogs — instant table context
