Paladin: Difference between revisions

The Oath of Vengeance is a solemn commitment to punish those who have committed a grievous sin. When evil forces slaughter helpless villagers, when an entire people turns against the will of the Three, when a thieves’ guild grows too violent and powerful, when a rogue drake rampages through the countryside — at times like these, paladins arise and swear an Oath of Vengeance to set right that which has gone wrong. To these paladins — sometimes called avengers or dark knights — their own purity is not as important as delivering justice. Paladins of Vengeance follow these tenets:

*'''Fight the Greater Evil.''' Faced with a choice of fighting my sworn foes or combating a lesser evil, I choose the greater evil.

*'''No Mercy for the Wicked.''' Ordinary foes might win my mercy, but my sworn enemies do not.

*'''By Any Means Necessary.''' My qualms can’t get in the way of exterminating my foes.

*'''Restitution.''' If my foes wreak ruin on the world, it is because I failed to stop them. I must help those harmed by their misdeeds.

''3rd Level Oath of Vengeance Feature''<br>

''3rd Level Oath of AHH Channel Divinity Options''<br>

You gain the following two Channel Divinity Options:

*'''Abjure Enemy.''' As an Action, you present your Holy Symbol and speak a prayer of denunciation, using your Channel Divinity. Choose one creature within 60ft of you that you can see. That creature must make a Wisdom Saving Throw, unless it is Immune to being Frightened. Highlings and Undead have Disadvantage on this Saving Throw. On a failed save, the creature is frightened for 1 minute or until it takes any damage. While frightened, the creature’s speed is 0, and it can’t benefit from any bonus to its speed. On a successful save, the creature’s speed is halved for 1 minute or until the creature takes any damage.

*'''Vow of Enmity.''' As a bonus action, you can utter a vow of enmity against a creature you can see within 10 feet of you, using your Channel Divinity. You gain advantage on attack rolls against the creature for 1 minute or until it drops to 0 hit points or falls unconscious.
