Doorwardens are constructs originally invented by elves. Upon first glance, these guardians resemble ornate doors made entirely of steel or even dawnsilver, but when trespassers try to force their way past, the doorwarden transforms into a skilled and sturdy soldier bearing its "door" like a towering shield. Perceptive travelers can sometimes spot a door warden before its magic becomes obvious. The door often bears a round disk or similar embossment that resembles a shield boss designed for bas

Shield Block — When the doorwarden uses Shield Block against a melee attack from a creature within 5 feet, it can also push the creature 5 feet.
Trigger The monster has its shield raised and takes damage from a physical attack.

Imitate Door (concentrate) — Until the next time it acts, the doorwarden appears to be a door. It has an automatic result of 31 on Deception checks and DCs to pass as a door.
Slam Doors (concentrate) — The door opens and slams its doors, making two door Strikes against one creature. If both hit, the creature is Grabbed-stuck between the doors. The doorwarden's multiple attack penalty doesn't increase until it has finished both attacks.
