Sentinels are stoic protectors who are equally dangerous combatants. They are usually assigned to defend a person or place and are expected to be extremely loyal. Weapon-wise, they can use most swords, spears and battleaxes, and are able to wield them at a frightening speed that destroys everything in their path. Sentinels are widely recognised by their intricate armor and helmets.
While Sentinels usually hang back on the defensive side of battle, they are fearsome warriors who are more than capable of being the aggressor. They are strong, and while not entirely dexterous, have mastered the art of swordsmanship to a level where they don’t need to be agile. Their armor protects them from most enemies (bar magical ones) and it’s uncommon for one to fall in a fight.
Like practically all of the physical classes, Sentinels possess great strength and endurance that allows them to partake in grueling professions. Many act as bodyguards to others - the wealthy and noble often hire them to protect themselves or their assets. After retirement from this line of work, some go on to become mentors in war schools since the populace consider Sentinels to be the magnum opus of classes.
