Neverwinter Nine

The Neverwinter Nine are the personal bodyguards of Lord Nasher Alagondar, the leader of Neverwinter.

Abilities
Protective Aura: Members of the Neverwinter Nine can generate an aura which enhances the defensive capabilites of their allies during combat.

Guarding the Lord: An advanced version of the Shield Other spell, this ability allows members of the Neverwinter Nine to reduce the damage inflicted upon them, in addition to the standard 'pain-sharing' effect of the original spell.

Frantic Reactions: The Neverwinter Nine must be forever ready to come to the defence of their allies. With this ability, they can traverse the battlefield at greater speeds, dodge their opponents attacks with greater ease, and lauch sneak attacks against those who threaten their comrades.

All-Out Assault: The Neverwinter Nine can enter a state similar to a barbarian's rage, during which time they can inflict large amounts of damage upon their foes. This state is difficult to maintain, however, and when it ends they take damage from the effort of maintaining it.
