[5e] The Watcher — A New Companion-Based Martial Class by Crowbear Forge
Stand watch. Never yield.
Crowbear Forge just released The Watcher, a brand-new custom 5e class focused on battlefield control, tactical positioning, and fighting alongside a loyal Companion from Level 1.
Choose your Watcher Path early — from the immovable Bastion-style defender to precise ranged wardens — while your Companion evolves beside you as a true extension of your will.
The class includes:
• Full 1–20 progression
• Tactical Vigil marking system
• Companion archetypes (Protector, Feral, Scout)
• Reactive battlefield gameplay
• Multiple unique Watcher Wards with very different mechanics and themes
Free Wards include:
Wildwood, Bastion, Beyond, and Wound
Additional supporter Wards:
Grave, Veil, Forge, and Umbral Depths
I created the class for one of my friend for our new campaign - after few runs it appears to be fun! Very easy to pick and play!
Would love to hear what people think — especially about the Companion system and Vigil mechanics.
