Warden Wardens are mighty and powerful defenders of the natural world , fighting to preserve the untamed wilderness .

Additionally , like barbarian s or druid s , wardens call upon the primal power of the world they protect , infusing their blows with deadly power . Like druids , wardens are believed to have the power to polymorph into the shape of wild beasts or even plants . How they acquire these abilities is known only for sure by the wardens , though it is generally believed that they serve mighty nature spirits , who charge them with the protection of the Prime and its wilderness . Abilities . Wardens easily make up for their relatively low proficiency in weaponry with several abilities , such as their extraordinary resilience against debilitating effects or injuries . Wardens can take incredible blows and generally have a high degree of vitality that enables them to literally walk through enemy attacks relatively unharmed . Others are instead so aware of their surroundings to the point of anticipating enemy attacks . Much like barbarians , wardens draw on the primal fury of nature to enhance their capabilities in battle . When allies of a warden are injured by nearby foes wardens will often spring into a feral wrath to defend their friends , calling on nature ' s power to either hinder their foe or injure them .

Once per day , wardens may use these evocations to transform themselves into wild beasts or other manifestations of the natural world , echoing the druid ' s wildshape ability .
