The Vigilant

They take on grim responsibility for the safekeeping of the smallfolk of Vesh and its friendly neighbors.

Tireless: the Vigilant may keep moving for hours on end, never showing signs of fatigue. The Vigilant may triple his CON bonus when checking for fatigue.
Favored enemy: as Ranger skill.

Ferocity: the Vigilant's serious and fierce demeanor give him +1 per Vigilant level to Intimidate checks and morale saves.

Natural Armor: the Vigilant's toughness improves his AC with Natural Armor.

Resist Massive Damage: double Con bonus to Fortitude save to survive massive damage. If failed, Vigilant appears to be dead but in fact may make another save immediately to be alive but unconscious for 1 hour per point the save was failed by, minimum 1 hour. May also make a special Fortitude save to avoid dying when reduced to -10 hit points or less. DC is 10, plus the negative amount of hit points. Example: at -12, the save would be DC 22.
Natural Healing: the Vigilant can heal himself a number of hit points per day equal to his class level x CON bonus.

Druid Spells: If previous Ranger or Druid spells known, add to previous spells per day.
