Oath of the Light (5e Subclass)
Oath of the Light[edit]
This is a Paladin Subclass
- Channel Divinity
When you choose this Oath at 3rd level you gain access to the following Channel Divinity options:
Torchbearer As a bonus action, you present your holy symbol and cry out an evocation of your deity's might. Every hostile creature within 30 feet of you that can hear and/or see you must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, for the next minute, any attack made against any creature that is not you is made at disadvantage. This effect ends early if you fall unconscious or die.
Radiant Shield As an action, you present your holy symbol and say a prayer of protection. You ward a willing creature within 30 feet of you that you can see. For 1 minute, any creature that hits the warded creature with a melee attack takes your Charisma modifier in Radiant damage. You can not ward yourself in this way.
- Spells
- 3rd: dispel magic, cure wounds
- 5th: hold person, Prayer of healing
- 9th: beacon of hope, fireball
- 13th: guardian of faith, stoneskin
- 17th: mass cure wounds, hold monster
- --Angelic Arms--
Upon taking this oath at 3rd level, you gain the ability to conjure a set of holy armor as a bonus action. This holy armor may take on any appearance of your choosing, but will always bear the symbol of your deity.
-While wearing this armor, your Armor Class is equal to 10 + your Charisma modifier + your Constitution modifier.
-Also, you can have your Angelic Arms consume any 1 set of magical armor. If it does, it gains any unique features the armor had. If you attempt to consume another set of armor, Angelic Arms will reject the previous one.
-Additionally, you may spend 1 hour performing a ritual to bind a weapon to yourself. So long as you and this weapon remain within the same plane of existence, you may summon this weapon as a bonus action, or with the same bonus action. You may bind up to 2 weapons in this way, or 1 weapon and 1 shield, and they can both be summoned within the same bonus action. Any weapon that you have bound to yourself is considered a magical weapon for the sake of bypassing resistance and immunity to nonmagical weapons. If you perform the ritual to bind a weapon to yourself, if you already have two weapons bound, you must choose 1 weapon to unbind from yourself.
- --Torchlight Aura
-- Beginning at 7th level, you and friendly creatures within 10 feet of you are resistant to necrotic and cold damage and can see through magical darkness as if it were dim light. At level 18, this aura increases to 30 feet.
- --Beholden to the Torch--
Beginning at 15th level, your hit point maximum can not be reduced by any means. Additionally, upon taking a short rest, you regain points of Lay On Hands equal to 5 times your Charisma modifier.
- --Aspect of the Light--
At 20th Level, you can take on the form of the Aspect of the Light. Holy white flames burst from your body and white light pours out from your eyes and mouth. Using your action, you undergo a transformation. For 1 minute, you gain the following benefits:
If your divine armor and/or weapons are not currently equipped, they are conjured and equipped to you. Hostile creatures within 30 feet of you subtract your Charisma modifier from their attack rolls. You shed bright light in a 20 foot radius, and dim light for an additional 10 feet. Friendly creatures within 30 feet of you add your Charisma modifier to one attack roll every turn. Using Divine Smite will heal you 2d4, and an additional d4 for every spell slot above 1st level. Once this feature has been used it cannot be used again until you have finished a long rest
