Actually probably a good time as any to do this.

A grotaron is a guardian? Well that's a possibility...

Actually, I can see that there will be a bit of
interparty conflict over what form this guardian
takes.

The Western Church usually uses a reliquary, so I
presume Azhur will be promoting that angle for
example...

Heck maybe even the Banner can become the Guardian!

In any case you'll need a method, communications,
guardian requirements and magical functions.


1) The method can be a an insubstantial being
(archetype), an emanation (usually embodied in a
physical object), or a manifestation (a person - e.g.,
the grotaron).

2) The communications system can either be to a party
leader, or to the group. It can be via symbolic
manifestations, encoded language or normal speech.
It's up to you.

3) The requirements are of course a restriction of
some sort that the guardian requires each member of
the fellowship to engage in, otherwise it will withold
its magic. Again, I'm open to suggestions.

4) The three functions are Awareness, Blessing and
Defense. These have to be specialised in both function
and form. It has a base of 13 in all these powers and
an additional 15 points that you can distribute as you
like (typically 18 in all three is chosen). To
increase these it requires +1 Hero Point per member of
the band. Note that followers are *not* members of the
band unless Hero Points are expended for them..

In addition to this you'll need to narrate how the
guardian was discovered and how the hero band is
formally established. The membership requirement is
pretty obvious (seek the weapons of Talor).
