	Starting at first level you have learned to wrap yourself in a thin layer of the Border Ethereal to protect yourself from harm, shunting part of the force of blows and spells into that liminal space. As a bonus action on your turn you can activate the ward. The ward has hit points equal to your level x your Intelligence modifier. When you cast a Planar Warrior spell, the ward regains hit points equal to the spell slot ~~level~~ x your Intelligence modifier. You can activate your protective ward two times. You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest~~. Active wards end when you finish a long rest regardless of their hit points~~.		Starting at first level you have learned to wrap yourself in a thin layer of the Border Ethereal to protect yourself from harm, shunting part of the force of blows and spells into that liminal space. As a bonus action on your turn you can activate the ward, which then remains active until you finish a long rest, are knocked unconscious, or use an ability that specifically deactivates your ward. The ward has hit points equal to your level x your Intelligence modifier. When you cast a Planar Warrior spell, the ward regains hit points equal to the spell slot used x your Intelligence modifier. Using another use of this ability restores it to full health and makes it active, regardless of whether it was active or inactive. You can activate your protective ward two times. You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

	~~When you would take damage while the~~ ward has ~~more than zero hit points~~, ~~the ward~~ takes ~~the~~ damage ~~instead. If you were concentrating~~ on ~~a spell and the ward absorbed all the damage, you do not need to make a concentration check. When the ward takes damage, you can use~~ your ~~reaction to make the ward explode, causing damage equal to half the ward's~~ hit points ~~before the damage was absorbed to the triggering creature. If you do so~~, ~~the ward collapses~~. ~~If the ward reaches 0 hit points and has not been expended in~~ this way, it remains active but cannot absorb any damage until its hit points are restored by spending spell slots. Using another charge of your Protective Ward restores the active ward to full hit points or creates a new one if you do not ~~have one active~~.		Once your ward has been activated, it takes damage on your behalf as long as it has hit points remaining, benefiting from your resistances and immunities as relevant. Damage absorbed this way does not count for provoking Concentration checks.

	~~''edit option: Once~~ your ward ~~has been activated~~, it takes damage ~~on your behalf as long as~~ it ~~has~~ hit points ~~remaining, benefiting from your resistances and immunities as relevant~~. ~~Damage absorbed this way does not count for provoking Concentration checks. you can expend another use~~ of ~~this ability as a bonus action to restore~~ the ~~ward~~ to ~~full health. Your ward becomes inactive when~~ you ~~take a long rest, become unconscious, or use an ability that explicitly cancels it~~. ~~once inactive~~, ~~it has no~~ effect ~~until reactivated~~.''		==== Explosive Ward ====
			As a reaction when your ward takes damage, you can choose to deactivate your ward (after it takes the damage). If you do so, it explodes, dealing damage equal to its maximum hit points to the creature that damaged you. This damage is a type of your choosing from the ones associated with the planes to which you are attuned.

			''Reminder'': This deactivates your Protective Ward, which must then be reactivated to have any further effect.

	~~new ability: expend ward as reaction when you take damage, to deal your ward’s max hp to attacker. reword appropriately.~~

	Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for planar warrior spells, since your magic relies on an understanding of the interactions between the planes. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability.

	Starting at 9th level, you can extend your protective ward’s effects to others.

If you do so, you can choose to ~~expend the ward to deal damage~~ without ~~an additional~~ action~~.

	After you choose this devotion at level three, your Protective Ward takes on an aspect of radiance, letting you blind and confuse your foes. Instead of activating your ward, you can instead choose to spend an activation to force up to a number of creatures equal to half your proficiency bonus that you can see within 60 feet of you to make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, they are blinded until the end of your next turn. Creatures blinded by this effect must roll a d6 at the beginning of their turn: on a roll of 1-3 they take no action and remain stationary; on a roll of 4-6 they must use their movement to move a distance equal to their speed in a random direction.
