Rokkere

A defensive art once thought to have died out. A skilled Rokkere may take the most brutal of assaults while defending nearby allies. While the Rokkere wields an unmatched mastery of defense, the Rokkere’s offensive capabilities are lack luster if compared to a simple fighter. However one Rokkere may hold the line against many foes before having to retreat, allowing the party to make a tactical retreat or save a civilian on-set by bandits. Quick Build
You can make a Rokkere quickly by following these suggestions. First, Make Constitution your highest ability scores. This will allow you to focus on taking the brunt of most damage your party will face. Second, Make Wisdom your next highest ability score. This will help you gain some armor from your dexterity modifier at early levels and on abilities you will gain later on. Dexterity is optional, but keeping it in the mid-range of your ability scores will allow you to make use of your amour’s dexterity modifier bonus. Third, Choose either the Soldier background, The Hermit background, or the Outlander Background.

Bulwark: The Rokkere gains +1 to AC First Tower: A Tower Shield circles the Rokkere granting him an armor bonus of a +4 Steel Tower Shield. The Rokkere can control this shield to defend a specific target, using your reaction you can send you shield over to an ally within range granting them a +4 bonus to AC. you may do this a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus Strength of Shield: The Rokkere gains strength from protecting others. While wearing a shield the Rokkere gains damage equal to the AC granted by bulwark to damage rolls.

As a bonus action the Rokkere may transfer this shield to an ally doing so he needs to maintain concentration, When moving a shield to an ally, they receive the AC bonus and the Rokkere loses the bonus. you may do this a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus Improved Bulwark: The Rokkere’s armor bonus increases to +2 (from 1) and a flat 12 health bonus Faster Healing: Experience in battle allows the Rokkere to heal faster each turn.

Armored Saves: The Rokkere is used to being bombarded by all sorts of attacks and thus gains the AC granted by bulwark to all saving throws. Greater Bulwark: The Rokkere’s armor bonus increases to +3 (from 2) and a flat 12 health bonus (Total 24) Anchored: The Rokkere is so grounded that throwing him is very difficult.

The Rokkere reflects a total of 1/3 of his total AC spell levels back at the caster, if it is a supernatural or spell- like ability and does not have a caster level then deflect a percentage of the damage back at the caster equal to the Rokkere’s spell resistance.
