Available to Bard 3+ only. With a musical, subaudible four-syllable vocalization in the language of the Far Ancients, you breathe into existence a shimmering, hovering golden ward. It can only be dispelled by a foe who makes a DC {25 + Bard level} opposed check. Unless dispelled or released prior to its duration by the bard herself, this ward endures for {Bard levels + Die Result + Charisma modifier} rounds. While the ward endures, the Bard has resistance to bludgeoning, slashing, and piercing damage from all sources. Bardic Warding can stack with Arcane Deflection.
