Make Heaven a Place on Earth
Legend has it that in a time before recorded history, an elite host of Celestial warriors forsook their immortality and the divine realms, becoming mortal to protect the holy people and places of the Material Plane. The story goes that these martyrs’ legacy lives on in the Heaven’s Guard, an order of Magi that act as bodyguards to the righteous and sentinels of hallowed temples. Whether or not such tales are true, Magi in the Heaven’s Guard eagerly serve as living shields to their chosen charges by drawing their enemies’ ire and healing what wounds their adversaries manage to inflict.
Level 3: Alabaster Mark
The effects of your mystic marks are enhanced by your greater understanding of the Heaven’s Guard’s esoteric knowledge. When you use your Mystic Mark feature, a soft white and gold aura envelops you, and you gain the following effects based on the benefit or benefits chosen.
Aegis. When a willing creature you can see within 30 feet of you is hit by an attack, you can use your Reaction to guard the creature until the start of your next turn. While the creature is guarded this way, attacks against it have Disadvantage.
Enspell. Once per turn when you hit a creature with a weapon or Unarmed Strike, it has Disadvantage on attacks against creatures other than you until the start of your next turn.
Level 3: Heaven’s Guard Magic
You can use a Holy Symbol as a Spellcasting Focus for your Magus spells.
In addition, your training in the Heaven’s Guard ensures you always have certain spells ready; when you reach a Magus level specified in the Heaven’s Guard Spells table, you thereafter always have the listed spells prepared.
