If you want to play a tank in Daggerheart who can be a literal bulwark for the party as a defender that protects their allies, taunts their enemies, and is incredible difficult to kill... Then look no further than the Stalwart subclass for the Guardian.

Your body will be a shield for your allies. Your words will ease their minds and your presence will be a bastion on the battlefield of hope and unwavering tenacity.

Let me just preface that Daggerheart is a game first and foremost about roleplay, so the point of this build guide isn't to powergame or too break the system. It is a comprehensive breakdown of the Stalwart Guardian's abilities and progression as well as a character template for those who want to see an example of a shield wielding adventurer who goes from reckless wild beast into a motherly protector of the party- this is meant to save you time on the mechanical aspects of the build and focus on roleplay and backstory elements that will make you fully immersed in your actual sessions!

THE SHIELD STANDS STRONG.
