Abilities

Divine Destruction

When the divine warden is reduced to 0 HP, it erupts with divine energy in a 30-foot area, dealing 5d6 void damage. Each creature in the area must attempt a DC 20 will save with the following outcomes.


Critical Success The creature takes half damage.

Success The creature takes full damage.

Failure The creature takes full damage and becomes temporarily cursed by the patron deity. The creature becomes Enfeebled 1 and Stupefied 1 for 1 day; this is a curse effect that uses the Will save

Faith Bound

A divine warden can't attack a creature that openly wears or displays the religious symbol of the divine warden's patron deity unless that creature uses a hostile action against the divine warden first. If the divine warden is intelligent, it can also attack a creature it believes isn't faithful to its deity or who wears the religious symbol as a ruse (typically after succeeding at a Perception check to Sense Motive).

Golem Antimagic

Harmed by fire (4d6 untyped, 1d8 untyped from areas or persistent damage); healed by electricity (area 1d6 healing HP); slowed by cold


Stench

40 feet. A creature entering the aura or starting its turn in the aura must succeed at a DC 19 fortitude save or become Sickened 1 (plus Slowed 1 for as long as it's sickened on a critical failure). While within the aura, affected creatures take a -2 circumstance penalty to saves against disease and to recover from the sickened condition. A creature that succeeds at its save is temporarily immune for 1 minute.

Vulnerable to Gentle Repose

Casting a Peaceful Rest spell on a meat guardian causes it to grow stiff. The golem attempts a DC 20 fortitude save. It's unaffected on a critical success, Slowed 1 for on a success, and on a failure is Immobilized and slowed for 1d4 rounds.

Faithful Weapon

Scythe


A divine warden always wields its patron deity's favored weapon. If the weapon is a ranged weapon, the divine warden automatically generates new ammunition with each attack. For a divine warden of 4th level or higher, the deity's favored weapon gains the effects of a Striking rune while the divine warden wields it; at 12th level, these effects are of a Greater Striking rune, and at 19th level, they're instead of a Major Striking rune.

Filth Fever

The Sickened and Unconscious conditions from filth fever can't end or be reduced until the disease is cured.

Saving Throw DC 20 fortitude

Stage 1 carrier with no ill effect ()

Stage 2 Sickened 1 (1 day)

Stage 3 sickened 1 and Slowed 1 as long as it remains sickened (1 day)

Stage 4 unconscious (1 day)

Stage 5 dead

Instrument of Faith

The divine warden is a beacon for its deity's faith. A cleric of the divine warden's patron deity can channel a Heal spell through a divine warden they can see within 60 feet. The cleric determines any targets or area for the spell as if they were standing in the divine warden's space.
