<-Soul Guardian->[]

<-The Soul Guardian actually refers to the soul of a loved one whose love for a person was so strong that even after they died their soul manifested a physical form in order to protect their loved one. Common cases include mothers and siblings who were killed while trying to save their child or younger sibling. Another example is someone who attempted to bring back a dead loved one, but instead of bringing them back in their original form was only able to bring back their soul. In many cases the Master and Soul Guardian may attempt to increase their powers until the Soul Guardian can regain its intelligence and original form (See level 20 special ability)->.


<-Generally the Master( the one being protected by the Soul Guardian) Stays back in combat, they tend to fight from a range or While riding their Soul Guardian, they are not as durable as their Guardian but have all of the communication and social skills that the Guardian does not. The Guardian generally fulfills a similar role to a Monk or Ranger in combat.->.

Abilities: <-The key stat for the master is Charisma as it increases a few of the Soul Guardians special abilities, The next most important skill is Constitution as the master shares its health pool with his Soul Guardian and the Soul Guardian is generally in close range combat with only a d8 HD. ->.

Races: <-Any Race that can experience love or complete devotion to another person can become a Soul Guardian->.

Alignment: <-Any->. <-The Master has medium BAB poor Fortitude and Reflex saves, and a good Will Save(couldn't figure out how to get them in the graph->
