Divine Destruction (divine, necromancy, negative) When the divine warden is reduced to 0 HP, it erupts with divine energy in a 30-foot emanation, dealing 5d6 negative damage.

Critical Failure As failure, except the creature becomes enfeebled 2 and stupefied 2.Faith Bound (abjuration, divine) A divine warden can't attack a creature that openly wears or displays the religious symbol of the divine warden's patron deity unless that creature uses a hostile action against the divine warden first. If the divine warden is intelligent, it can also attack a creature it believes isn't faithful to its deity or who wears the religious symbol as a ruse (typically after succeeding at a Perception check to Sense Motive).Golem Antimagic harmed by fire (4d6, 1d8 from areas or persistent damage); healed by electricity (area 1d6 HP); slowed by coldVulnerable to Gentle Repose Casting a gentle repose spell on a meat guardian causes it to grow stiff.

Faithful Weapon A divine warden always wields its patron deity's favored weapon. If the weapon is a ranged weapon, the divine warden automatically generates new ammunition with each attack. For a divine warden of 4th level or higher, the deity's favored weapon gains the effects of a striking rune while the divine warden wields it.
