Ulfen Guard Dedication Feat 2
Central to your Ulfen Guard training is the ability to protect an ally. You gain the Additional Lore skill feat for Warfare Lore. If you were already trained in Warfare Lore, you also become trained in a Lore skill of your choice. You gain the Designate Ally action.
It's anathema for you to abandon your designated ally or allow your designated ally to die when you can prevent it. If you violate this anathema, you lose the ability to Designate Ally and any feats that use this ability until you spend 1 day of downtime reaffirming your dedication to your allies.
Defender's Grit Feat 4
You can't protect anyone if you're dead. You gain the Diehard general feat. If you start your turn adjacent to your designated ally, you gain a number of temporary Hit Points equal to half your level that lasts until the beginning of your next turn.
Effect: Defender's Grit
Guard's Fury Feat 4
Some Ulfen Guards tap into a well of fury to protect their charges. You can use the Rage action. While raging, you take a –1 penalty to AC. If you're adjacent to your designated ally while raging, increase the additional damage from Rage from 2 to 4.
Guarded Mind Feat 6
When your enemies try to turn your mind against you, thoughts of your anathema bolster you. You can reroll the triggering saving throw with a +2 circumstance bonus, but you must use the new result, even if it's worse.
Wounded Party Feat 6
Harm to either you or your allies awakens your fury. You Rage.
Tight Follower Feat 8
