The White Wardens are a martial order dedicated to maintaining peace and order wherever they travel, or so they proclaim. Beyond rote-sounding answers about justice and defending the defenseless, white wardens will deflect or evade questions about the principles of their organization. [I leave it up to the game master to decide whether there’s something nefarious about them, or if they’re just a bunch of officious pricks.]

White Warden
Hit Dice: 2 to 8 (9 to 36 hp); saves as a cleric, has Advantage on saving throws to resist emotion-manipulating spells and effects.
Armor: High (Heavy armor + shield)
Movement: 3/4ths normal human
Demeanor: roll 2d6

Roll	Demeanor
2 – 3	Triumphant: They’ve just subdued a major adversary.
3 – 4	Pondering: They appear to be lost in thought.
6 – 8	On the Hunt: They’re responding to a report of a threat in the area.
9 – 10	Despairing: They’re having a crisis of faith.
11 – 12	Paranoid: They believe they’re surrounded by enemies.

Attack: Medium melee weapon (1d8 damage) or shield bash (1d6 damage and target is pushed back)
Special:

• Quenching Blade: As their action, the white warden can make a melee attack that deals no damage. Instead, the target must succeed a Wisdom saving throw or be overcome with feelings of tranquility. While under this effect, a creature cannot attack or cast spells, and moves half their normal speed. This effect ends immediately if the affected creature suffers damage or the white warden is killed or rendered unconscious. A white warden can have a number of creatures equal to their hit dice under this effect.
• Veil of Tears: As their action, a white warden can touch a creature and force them to re-experience their most painful memory. If the target fails a Wisdom saving throw, they become wracked with negative emotions and are incapacitated for a number of rounds equal to the white warden’s hit dice.
• Lance of Light: Only white wardens with 6 or more hit dice can use this ability. As their action, the white warden emits a beam of brilliant light at target they can see within 100 feet. The target must succeed a Dexterity saving throw or be struck blind for a number of rounds equal to the white warden’s hit dice and lose their next set of actions. Using this ability leaves the white warden momentarily drained – until the end of their next turn, they have Disadvantage on all Strength- and Dexterity-based rolls.
