Paladin

Paladin

Clad in plate armor that gleams in the sunlight despite the dust and grime of long travel, a bugbear lays down her sword and shield and places her hands on a mortally wounded man. Divine radiance shines from her hands, the man's wounds knit closed, and his eyes open wide with amazement.
A Firbolg crouches behind an outcrop, his black cloak making him nearly invisible in the night, and watches an ogre war band celebrating its recent victory. Silently, he stalks into their midst and whispers an oath, and two ogres are dead before they even realize he is there.
Silver mane shining in a shaft of light that seems to illuminate only him, a leonin laughs with exultation. His spear flashes like his eyes as he jabs again and again at a twisted giant, until at last his light overcomes its hideous darkness.
Whatever their origin and their mission, paladins are united by their oaths to stand against the forces of evil. Whether sworn before a god's altar and the witness of a priest, in a sacred glade before nature spirits and fey beings, or in a moment of desperation and grief with the dead as the only witness, a paladin's oath is a powerful bond. It is a source of power that turns a devout warrior into a blessed champion.
A paladin swears to uphold justice and righteousness, to stand with the good things of the world against the encroaching darkness, and to hunt the forces of evil wherever they lurk. Different paladins focus on various aspects of the cause of righteousness, but all are bound by the oaths that grant them power to do their sacred work. Although many paladins are devoted to gods of good, a paladin's power comes as much from a commitment to justice itself as it does from a god.
Paladins train for years to learn the skills of combat, mastering a variety of weapons and armor. Even so, their martial skills are secondary to the magical power they wield: power to heal the sick and injured, to smite the wicked and the undead, and to protect the innocent and those who join them in the fight for justice.
Almost by definition, the life of a paladin is an adventuring life. Unless a lasting injury has taken him or her away from adventuring for a time, every paladin lives on the front lines of the cosmic struggle against evil. Fighters are rare enough among the ranks of the militias and armies of the world, but even fewer people can claim the true calling of a paladin. When they do receive the call, these warriors turn from their former occupations and take up arms to fight evil. Sometimes their oaths lead them into the service of the crown as leaders of elite groups of knights, but even then their loyalty is first to the cause of righteousness, not to crown and country.
Adventuring paladins take their work seriously. A delve into an ancient ruin or dusty crypt can be a quest driven by a higher purpose than the acquisition of treasure. Evil lurks in dungeons and primeval forests, and even the smallest victory against it can tilt the cosmic balance away from oblivion.

Sacred Oaths

Oath of Ancients

The Oath of the Ancients is as old as the race of elves and the rituals of the druids. Sometimes called fey knights, green knights, or horned knights, paladins who swear this oath cast their lot with the side of the light in the cosmic struggle against darkness because they love the beautiful and life-giving things of the world, not necessarily because they believe in principles of honor, courage, and justice. They adorn their armor and clothing with images of growing things—leaves, antlers, or flowers—to reflect their commitment to preserving life and light in the world. Paladins of the Ancients follow these tenets:

• Kindle the Light. Through your acts of mercy, kindness, and forgiveness, kindle the light of hope in the world, beating back despair.
• Shelter the Light. Where there is good, beauty, love, and laughter in the world, stand against the wickedness that would swallow it. Where life flourishes, stand against the forces that would render it barren.
• Preserve Your Own Light. Delight in song and laughter, in beauty and art. If you allow the light to die in your own heart, you can't preserve it in the world.
• Be the Light. Be a glorious beacon for all who live in despair. Let the light of your joy and courage shine forth in all your deeds.

The creature must succeed on a Strength or Dexterity Saving Throw (its choice) or be Restrained. While Restrained by the vines, the creature repeats the Saving Throw at the end of each of its turns. On a success, it frees itself and the vines vanish.

• Douse the Flame of Hope. It is not enough to merely defeat an enemy in battle. Your victory must be so overwhelming that your enemies' will to fight is shattered forever. A blade can end a life. Fear can end an empire.
• Rule with an Iron Fist. Once you have conquered, tolerate no dissent. Your word is law. Those who obey it shall be favored. Those who defy it shall be punished as an example to all who might follow.

Chaotic by nature, these scallywags abhor any laws that aren't their own. While most paladins follow the law of the land or the tenets of their deity, Corsairs follow only laws they have personally agree to. Paladins of the Corsairs follow these tenets:

• Bravery. To be a coward is worse then death. Those who don't defend themselves deserve whatever comes. Live in such a way that all will sing of your deeds for years to come.
• Freedom. Mortal creatures are meant to be free. Like the fish of the sea, no one should be forced to follow rules that they did not personally agree to or have a voice in creating.

Oath of Crowns

The Oath of Crown is sworn to the ideals of civilization, be it the spirit of a nation, fealty to a sovereign, or service to a deity of law and rulership. The paladins who swear this oath dedicate themselves to serving society and, in particular, the just laws that hold society together. These paladins are the watchful guardians on the walls, standing against the chaotic tides of barbarism that threaten to tear down all that civilization has built, and are commonly known as guardians, exemplars, or sentinels. Often, paladins who swear this oath are members of an order of knighthood in service to a nation or a sovereign, and undergo their oath as part of their admission to the order's ranks. Paladins of the Crown follow these tenets:

• Law. The law is paramount. It is the mortar that holds the stones of civilization together, and it must be respected.
• Loyalty. Your word is your bond. Without loyalty, oaths and laws are meaningless.
• Courage. You must be willing to do what needs to be done for the sake of order, even in the face of overwhelming odds. If you don't act, then who will?
• Responsibility. You must deal with the consequences of your actions, and you are responsible for fulfilling your duties and obligations.

Oath of Devotion

The Oath of Devotion binds a paladin to the loftiest ideals of justice, virtue, and order. Sometimes called cavaliers, white knights, or holy warriors, these paladins meet the ideal of the knight in shining armor, acting with honor in pursuit of justice and the greater good. They hold themselves to the highest standards of conduct, and some, for better or worse, hold the rest of the world to the same standards. Many who swear this oath are devoted to gods of law and good and use their gods' tenets as the measure of their devotion. They hold angels—the perfect servants of good—as their ideals, and incorporate images of angelic wings into their helmets or coats of arms. Paladins of Devotion follow these tenets:

• Honesty. Don't lie or cheat. Let your word be your promise.
• Courage. Never fear to act, though caution is wise.
• Compassion. Aid others, protect the weak, and punish those who threaten them. Show mercy to your foes, but temper it with wisdom.
• Honor. Treat others with fairness, and let your honorable deeds be an example to them. Do as much good as possible while causing the least amount of harm.
• Duty. Be responsible for your actions and their consequences, protect those entrusted to your care, and obey those who have just authority over you.

Oath of Dynamism

The Oath of Dynamism is an ideology of rapid, constant change. Those who swear to the oath of dynamism find their divine magic manifesting as light, lightning, and magnetism. Some are warriors of the storm, channeling the raw electric power of lightning into their weapons and armor. Others are pragmatic, modern sentinels of a coming future, ensuring that the march of progress isn't interrupted by those ignorantly afraid of a changing world. Most paladins who swear to this oath are chaotic in alignment, with a strong tendency toward neutrality and self-determination. Paladins of Dynamism follow these tenets:

• Take Swift Action. Like lightning itself, you must never hesitate to take needed action. Deliberation and planning are nothing more than excuses for tardiness.
• Never Stay Idle. Like neglected metal leads to rust and decay, you know idleness only leads to weakness and spiritual immobility. Doing nothing is only for those who can't do anything.
• Embrace the Changing Future. You must be ready — and perhaps even eager — to discard old traditions as the world changes around you. The world will always change, just as all energy changes forms.
• Be Decisive, But Flexible. You must be confident in your choices once you have made them. But should you learn you are definitely going in the wrong direction, be quick to shift to a new unwavering path, just as lightning does when it arcs and dances.

Dynamism Features

3rd Level Oath of Dynamism Channel Divinity Options
You gain the following two Channel Divinity Options:

• Convert Energy. When a creature or object within 60ft of you takes Lightning, Radiant, or Thunder Damage, you can absorb the energy as a Reaction, using your Channel Divinity. You reduce the Damage taken by an amount equal to 5 x your Paladin Level, the target also gains Resistance to Lightning, Radiant, or Thunder Damage (your choice) until the end of your next turn. The first time you hit with a Melee Weapon Attack or roll Thunder or Lightning Damage for a Spell before the end of your next turn, you deal extra Lightning Damage to one target equal to your Paladin Level.
• Divine Conduit. When you use your Divine Smite feature, you can use your Channel Divinity to convert the Divine Smite's Radiant Damage to Lightning Damage. This Smite's Damage is increased by 2d8 and ignores Resistance to Lightning Damage.

The next time the target of this Divine Smite hits you with a Melee Attack, you regain a use of your Channel Divinity feature.

Aura of Induction

Static Charge

• You have a 30ft Flying Speed while you are wearing metal Armor.
• Earth Elementals, metal Constructs, and creatures of your choice wearing metal Armor in the area have Slowed 2.
• As a Bonus Action on your turn, you can buffet one creature of your choice in the area that you can see with magnetic energy, forcing it to make a Strength Saving Throw. If the target is wearing metal Armor or it is an earth Elemental or metal Construct, it also has Disadvantage on the Saving Throw. On a failed Save, the target is knocked Prone and you can push it up to 10ft in any direction of your choice.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a Long Rest, unless you expend a 5th Level Spell Slot to use it again.

Oath of Glory

Paladins who take the Oath of Glory believe they and their companions are destined to achieve glory through deeds of heroism. They train diligently and encourage their companions so they're all ready when destiny calls. Paladins of Glory follow these tenets:

• Actions over Words. Strive to be known by glorious deeds, not words.
• Challenges Are But Tests. Face hardships with courage, and encourage your allies to face them with you.
• Hone the Body. Like raw stone, your body must be worked so its potential can be realized.
• Discipline the Soul. You must marshal the discipline to overcome failings within yourself that threaten to dim the glory of you and your friends.

Oath of Inquisition

Truth. All dedicated paladins who become Inquisitors have the same goal: reveal what is hidden, and purge the planes of those who obscure the truth. Those who swear this Oath will stop at nothing to accomplish their goals, and no matter how ruthless their actions, they believe they are justified.
Above all else they despise creatures that hide their true intentions or forms. Highling, fey, aberration, or monstrosity; it matters not to the Inquisitor paladin. Any creature, no matter its goals, that uses its power to deceive mortals, has forfeited their life. Paladins of the Inquisition follow these tenets:

• Absolute Truth. The truth is out there, and you must do whatever it takes to bring it to light. Those who obscure the truth deserve punishment, and you will deliver that justice.
  
• Immutable Forms. All creatures of the world have a natural form. Those that would seek to physically alter their form or obscure it with magic must be reprimanded.
  
• Swift Retribution. Those who break the laws of the multiverse deserve a punishment to fit their crime. A thief may lose a hand, but an Oathless may forfeit their life.

• Glorious Radiance. As an Action, you can use your Channel Divinity to imbue a number of objects being worn or carried by wiling creatures within 30ft of you equal to your Charisma Modifier with light. For the next 10 minutes, the objects shed Bright Light out to a Range of 30ft, and Dim Light an additional 30ft. The light can be colored as you like, and acts as daylight. Completely covering an object with something opaque blocks the Light, and you can end the effect as an Action. While you are in the Bright Light emitted by one of these objects, you can use that Bright Light as a Paladin Spellcasting Focus without needing to hold it in one of your hands. Additionally, when you cast a Paladin Spell that targets a single willing creature other than you while you are in the Bright Light, you can target an additional willing creature that is in that Bright Light or a connected Radius of Bright Light.
• Blinding Glory As an Action, you can use your Channel Divinity to flash in a glorious display. All creatures of your choice within 30ft of you must make a Constitution Saving Throw. On a failed Save, a creature is Blinded until the end of your next turn and takes Radiant Damage equal to your Paladin Level.

You begin shining gloriously to comfort and assist your friends. You give off Bright Light out to a certain Range. As an Action, you can set the distance of this Range and change the color of the light, and it acts as daylight. The minimum distance of the Range is 0ft, and the maximum is 10ft. You also shed Dim Light of the same color for an additional number of feet equal to the Range of Bright Light. Creatures of your choice in the Bright Light can take the Help Action as a Bonus Action.

Oath of Purification

In a world teeming with evil and darkness, some crusaders find that revealing evil by the light of day is not enough to stop it — evil must be purged to ashes itself. A growing respect for the cleansing power of divine fire leads these warriors to the Oath of Purification. Known for leading torch-wielding mobs, organizing ruthless inquisitions, and putting evil to the pyre, these paladins are devoted to purity by flame. Paladins of purification follow these tenets:

• Banish the Darkness. With darkness comes terror, and with the light of fire comes courage. The purity of my purpose must drive out the uncertainty, fear, and doubt I encounter.
• Cleanse All, Even Oneself. Evil and corruption must be cleansed at every turn, no matter the cost. If evil is given time to fester, it will spread like a cancer. If corruption takes hold within my heart, it too must be cleansed before anything else.
• Leave No Trace of the Evil. If those who come after can glean the truth of my enemies' evil from the ashes I leave, it means the ashes were not burned enough. Justice, sagacity, honesty, and all other such concerns are secondary to cleansing evil so thoroughly that it is completely forgotten.
• Purity Only Through Pain. There is no painless method for cleansing corruption, even within myself. Those who seek to purify without causing pain will fail to purify anything.
• Share the Flame. As one torch can light another, my righteous flame of purity can inspire others who are not yet corrupted to take up my cause, and I will lead those with smaller flames until they grow like a blazing beacon against the night.

• Cloaked in Fire. You can use your Channel Divinity to wreathe yourself in magical golden flames. As an Action, you become surrounded with fire that scorches your foes without harming you or your equipment. Every creature of your choice within 10ft of you must make a Dexterity Saving Throw. On a failed Save, a creature takes Fire Damage equal to 2d6 + half your Paladin Level, or half as much Damage on a successful Save. Until the start of your next turn, the flames continue to burn, shedding Bright Light out to a Range of 20ft, and Dim Light an additional 20ft, and each enemy creature that ends its turn within 10ft of you takes Fire Damage equal to 2d6 + half your Paladin Level.
• Purifying Flames. You can use your Channel Divinity as an Action to touch a creature with your Holy Symbol and wreath it in purifying fire. The creature loses the Blinded, Charmed, Deafened, Frightened, and Poisoned conditions. For each Condition the target loses, it gains Burning 1 (Fire).

Melee Attacks you make using the flaming Weapon have Advantage. When you hit on an Attack using the flaming Weapon, the Attack deals an extra 1d10 Fire Damage and 1d10 Radiant Damage, and if the target is flammable or is a creature, it gains Burning 2 (Fire). If Damage from the Attack or the Burning kills a target, the target is turned to ash.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a Long Rest, unless you expend a 5th Level Spell Slot to use it again.

Oath of Redemption

The Oath of Redemption sets a paladin on a difficult path, one that requires a holy warrior to use violence only as a last resort. Paladins who dedicate themselves to this oath believe that any person can be redeemed and that the path of benevolence and justice is one that anyone can walk. These paladins face evil creatures in the hope of turning their foes to the light, and they slay their enemies only when such a deed will clearly save other lives. Paladins who follow this path are known as redeemers. While redeemers are idealists, they are no fools. Redeemers know that undead, demons, devils, and other supernatural threats can be inherently evil. Against such foes, paladins who swear this oath bring the full wrath of their weapons and spells to bear. Yet the redeemers still pray that, one day, even creatures of wickedness will invite their own redemption. Paladins of Redemption follow these tenets:

• Peace. Violence is a weapon of last resort. Diplomacy and understanding are the paths to long-lasting peace.
• Innocence. All people begin life in an innocent state, and it is their environment or the influence of dark forces that drives them to evil. By setting the proper example, and working to heal the wounds of a deeply flawed world, you can set anyone on a righteous path.
• Patience. Change takes time. Those who have walked the path of the wicked must be given reminders to keep them honest and true. Once you have planted the seed of righteousness in a creature, you must work day after day to allow that seed to survive and flourish.
• Wisdom. Your heart and mind must stay clear, for eventually you will be forced to admit defeat. While every creature can be redeemed, some are so far along the path of evil that you have no choice but to end their lives for the greater good. Any such action must be carefully weighed and the consequences fully understood, but once you have made the decision, follow through with it knowing your path is just.

Immediately after an a creature within 30ft of you deals Damage with an Attack against a creature other than you, you can use your Reaction to force the Attacker to make a Wisdom Saving Throw. On a failed Save, the Attacker takes Radiant Damage equal to the Damage it dealt on its Attack. On a successful Save, it takes half as much Damage.

Aura of the Guardian

7th Level Oath of Redemption Feature
You can shield others from harm at the cost of your own health. When a creature within 10ft of you takes Damage, you can use your Reaction to magically take that Damage, instead of that creature taking it. This feature doesn't transfer any other effects that might accompany the Damage, and this Damage can't be reduced in any way.

Protective Spirit

15th Level Oath of Redemption Feature
A holy presence mends your wounds in battle. You regain Hit Points equal to 1d6 + half your Paladin Level if you end your turn in combat with fewer than half of your Hit Points remaining and you aren't Incapacitated.

Emissary of Redemption

20th Level Oath of Redemption Feature
You become an avatar of peace, which gives you two benefits:

• You have Resistance to all Damage dealt by other creatures.
• Whenever a creature hits you with an Attack, it takes Radiant Damage equal to half the Damage you took from the Attack.

If you Attack a creature, cast a Spell on it, or deal Damage to it by any means but this feature, neither benefit works against that creature until you finish a Long Rest.

Oath of Vengeance

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.

Oath of Watchers

The Oath of Watchers binds paladins to protect mortal realms from the predations of extraplanar creatures, many of which can lay waste to mortal soldiers. Thus, the Watchers hone their minds, spirits, and bodies to be the ultimate weapons against such threats. Paladins who follow the Watchers' oath are ever vigilant in spotting the influence of extraplanar forces, often establishing a network of spies and informants to gather information on suspected cults. To a Watcher, keeping a healthy suspicion and awareness about one's surroundings is as natural as wearing armor in battle. Paladins of the Watch follow these tenets:

• Vigilance. The threats you face are cunning, powerful, and subversive. Be ever alert for their corruption.
• Loyalty. Never accept gifts or favors from fiends or those who truck with them. Stay true to your order, your comrades, and your duty.
• Discipline. You are the shield against the endless terrors that lie beyond the stars. Your blade must be forever sharp and your mind keen to survive what lies beyond.

The Oathless

Not all paladins are able to hold to their Sacred Oaths. Some break their Oath and fall into evil, becoming Blackguards, but not all who falter become paragons of evil. These paladins are known as the Oathless, those who abandon their divinely appointed cause. They wander the wilds as lost warriors, often becoming bandits and mercenaries. Some quest for purpose, some turn evil and use their power to dominate others, while others fall into despair.
An Oathless paladin owes allegiance to no one. They hold to no tenets and are loyal to nothing but themselves. Oathless paladins are often selfish, with their own safety and power being their only concern. These lost warriors won't hesitate to obtain what they desire, even at the expense of others.
