Guardians Tower:

     There is only one Guardians Tower in existence. Only the most powerful and venerable Guardians live within its high scaling walls which reach up to the heavens as if begging the Jahthas in the firmament for some grand favor.

 

     The Guardians Tower is a huge structure, made of the finest stone available. Great blocks and columns, fortified with huge chains, massive battlements and a single behemoth drawbridge ensures the safety of this citadel. In the history of this stronghold and training grounds, no force has ever succeeded in its downfall.

 

     The head of the Guardians Guild will always reside within, with the exception of quests and duties of great importance.

 

     There will always be a 100th level Guardian about the structure as the overlord, a number of 10th mastery blacksmiths, carpenters and stone masons. The way of the Guardian is not without religious devotion, yet it is practical and strict. Honor will always be the way of the Guardian. Return to top

time as you level, adding your coordination back into the %Roll to help another defend against an attack.

 

This type of defense is ONLY good for PARRYING (weapon vs. weapon, claw, fist, etc.) and BLOCKING (shield vs. weapon, claw, fist, etc.).

 

Notes:
1. YOUR LEVEL IS NOT added back into this penalty as a Seeker Ability; only your coordination is.
