Stoneguard
Medium Humanoid (any race), lawful neutral
The elemental wardens of earth are a stoic people, slow to change socially, and more likely to fight defensive battles and outlast enemies than wage offensive wars. The stoneguard are the perfect embodiment of this ideal; their druidic training has been augmented by ancient combat techniques, allowing them to hold fast against a tide of enemies. They craft arms and armor from the granite around them, and their magical stonecraft rivals that of the dwarves.

Actions

Granite Maul. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d6 + 4) bludgeoning damage. If the attack hits, the stoneguard may also immediately cast _thunderwave_ as a bonus action. This casting uses a spell slot, but no material components.
Reactions

Skin to Stone. When the stoneguard is attacked, it may gain resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical attacks until the end of the attacker’s turn.
