A Guardian Angel is an angelic being assigned to protect and guide a particular person or group. The Guardian Angel often acts to protect a person from harm and ward off misfortune.

In certain special cases, the Guardian Angel does not have to be angelic by birth, but can become one by means of a mystical ritual, provided the Guardian Angel meets the criteria: first, she must be physically strong and resilient as well and generally of good breeding. Those who do not meet the physical requirements have no hope of becoming a Guardian Angel.

Secondly, she must have a connection with a Good power, preferably one devoted to protection, though the latter is not necessary.

Thirdly, she must have a ward who possesses magical powers and who has a 'special' magical nature beyond a human, elf or half-elf. For example, a Half-Celestial Elf, an Elpha or an Elf Paragon.

At fourth level, the Guardian Angel gains Alertness as a bonus feat.

You can generate a protective ward as a supernatural ability. Grant someone you touch a resistance bonus equal to your character level on his or her next saving throw. Activating this power is a standard action. The protective ward is an abjuration effect with a duration of 1 hour that is usable once per day.

At twelfth level, the Guardian Angel gains the Evasion ability - if she already has the Evasion ability, she gains Improved Evasion instead.

At sixteenth level, the Guardian Angel gains the Uncanny Dodge ability - if she already has this ability, she gains the Improved Uncanny Dodge ability instead.

At twentieth level, the Guardian Angel gains the Lightning Reflexes feat, allowing her to respond to threats more quickly.
