Guardian is pretty much a pawn lobotomy.

There are a couple of things that promote the Guardian inclination. The right d-pad command is one, letting your pawn(s) steady you when you're out of stamina and using the "Come!" command (bottom d-pad). If you really want a buff, use the left d-pad command before you go into battle; pawns will also heal themselves (or you) if they're under 50% health in response to the same command.

You can actually shuffle all your pawn's inclinations by the use of Johnathan's potions. Just because they're hidden doesn't mean they have no influence on your pawn; the first three are the most important in terms of the pawn's battle 'personality' and there's a trace of the fourth.

If you want your Mage to heal a little less often than every stubbed toe, try Utilitarian/Challenger/Medicant. She will heal when someone's at 50% or less health and won't interrupt an offensive spell in mid-incant to cast Anodyne. She also won't run up to an enemy's face to get herself killed, which is what Scather does to a Mage or Sorcerer.
