Sentries and Watch Members

Habitat: Any; Treasure: Armaments, Individual

Guards are perceptive, but most have little martial training. They might be bouncers, lookouts, members of a city watch, or other keen-eyed warriors.


Guard

Guards protect people, places, and things, either for pay or from a sense of duty. They might perform their duties vigilantly or distractedly. Some raise alarms at the first sign of danger and defend their charges with their lives. Others flee outright if their compensation doesn’t match the danger they face.

To distinguish between Waterdeep’s different groups of guardians, keep this handy mnemonic in mind: the Guard guards the walls while the Watch watches all.

—Volothamp Geddarm, legendary explorer
