Editing Sentinel (D&D)

{{dnd-stub}}

The '''Sentinel''' is a [[Variant Class]] for the [[Druid]] in [[Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition]]. Part of the Essentials subline, it was introduced in "Heroes of the Forgotten Kingdoms" as a "simplified" take on the Druid.

The Sentinel's flavor does not really elaborate on why they are different to normal druids, but in practice, they are very different; Sentinels focus on the magical side of the druidic arts, forsaking the shapeshifting powers of the standard druid for spellcasting prowess and the aid of a loyal animal companion, sort of a primal wizard with a beefier familiar. To better enforce the use of these companions, all Sentinels gain Combined Attack, a multiple-uses-per-Encounter attack that replaces use of any other Encounter power which allows you and your pet to attack at the same time.

Sentinels choose a season to draw power from at first level, with ''Heroes of the Forgotten Kingdoms'' providing rules for Spring Sentinels and Summer Sentinels and ''Heroes of Elemental Chaos'' gave a third option in the Wastes Sentinels.

Spring Sentinels have a wolf companion, proficiency with the scimitar, a +1 bonus to attack rolls with scimitars, spears, daggers and sickles, and a +2 bonus to Heal checks.

Summer Sentinels get a bear companion,  increased damage dice with maces and quarterstaves, and a +2 bonus to Athletic checks.

Sentinels of the Wastes gain a living zephyr companion (Essentially a little blob of wind), gain +1 AC and Reflex when using spears or staves, and a +2 to Endurance checks.

At 1st level, they can pick two choices from a list of classic druidic knacks. At 7th levl, they gain the ability to talk to plants and animals 3/day.
