Oath of Shelter

Paladin Class: Sacred Oath

Created by Nano

Tenets of Shelter

Paladins who swear this oath devote themselves to the following tenets.  

Love

Care for those who have not been cared for. Love is what binds together, hate is what breaks apart.  

Generosity

Give to those in need. Give yourself to the betterment of others.  

Bravery

Defend those who cannot stand for themselves. Oppression may try to bend, but you will not bow.  

Tolerance

Be there for those who seek to redeem themselves. Your unwavering kindness shall make a friend of foes.

Channel Divinity

3rd-level Oath of Shelter feature   You gain the following Channel Divinity options. See the Sacred Oath class feature for how Channel Divinity works.  

Calming Hands

You can use your Channel Divinity to raise the potency of your healing. As a bonus action, when you use your Lay on Hands feature on an allied creature, they regain an additional number of hit points equal to 1d8 + your Charisma modifier.  

Prismatic Protection

You can use your Channel Divinity to shield yourself from certain harm for a minute. As an action, you gain resistance for 1 minute from one of the following damage types: acid, cold, fire, lightning, poison, or thunder.  

Aura of Shelter

7th-level Oath of Shelter feature   You emit an aura that shrouds others in a protective light while you aren’t incapacitated. When an allied creature of your choice within 10 feet of you takes bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage, the damage is reduced by your proficiency bonus. A creature can benefit from this feature from only one paladin at a time.   At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet and the damage reduction improves to also include acid, cold, fire, lightning, poison, and thunder damage.  

Divine Mercy

15th-level Oath of Shelter feature   You are now able to channel your divine energy to expand the reserves of your healing. As a bonus action, you can expend a spell slot and replenish missing hit points for your Lay on Hands feature equal to 10 times the spell level expended.  

Radiant Bastion

20th-level Oath of Shelter feature   You muster forth a bubble of radiant light from yourself, protecting those sheltered inside. As an action, you project a protective aura that extends 30 feet from you in every direction, but not through total cover. You gain the following benefits for 1 minute:  

When a hostile creature attacks an allied creatures of your choice within 30 feet of you, the attack is made at disadvantage.

When you use your Lay on Hands and restore any number of hit points to a creature, you can choose a second creature within 30 feet of you to regain an equal number of hit points.

Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
