Polychrome Sentinel
Polychrome Sentinels use their attunement to the light around them to generate barriers to protect themselves and allies. Often, Polychrome Sentinels tend to stay deeper in the fray to assure that should an ally need help, they are already on standby.
Hardlight Projection
When you take this tradition at 3rd level, you gain the following Hardlight Projection option:
Hardlight Bastion: As an action, you project a dome of light. The dome is centered on you, has a 10-foot radius, and is filled with dim light. The dome lasts for 1 minute or until you are incapacitated or die. The dome has a number of hitpoints equal to 5 times your level. When a friendly creature within the dome takes damage, the dome takes that damage instead.
If the damage taken by the dome exceeds its remaining hitpoints, the remaining damage is taken by the target of the damage. If more than one target takes damage at the same time and it causes the dome to disperse, that damage is added up and divided equally among all creature within the dome. If there is any damage remaining that can not be divided evenly, it is taken by either you, or a willing creature of your choice.

Hardlight Projection
When you take this tradition at 3rd level, you gain the following Hardlight Projection option:
Hardlight Comet: As an action, you can cause a ball of light to eject itself from your palm toward a point you can see within 60 feet.

The sphere of damage spreads around corners.

- When a hostile creature's movement provokes an opportunity attack from you, you can use your reaction to make a Hardlight Beam attack against the creature, rather than making an opportunity attack.
