The '''Guardian''' is the [[Templar]] class aimed at defensive abilities.

The Guardian uses the following skill groups: ''Aura'', ''Prayer'', ''Taunt'', ''Shield'', and ''Swordsmanship''. Groups can be affected by item properties, e.g. properties that reduce all Swordsmanship skill costs, or increase their damage. Skills in ''italics'' below are shared with the [[Blademaster]]. Numbers in parenthesis are the number of skill points required in a skill's required skill. The numbers in the leftmost column are the level requirements.
