{"name":"Devotion - Paladin Subclass","overview":"[p]Swearing an oath of Devotion binds a paladin to the principles of duty, honor, justice, and order. These paladins define themselves as holy warriors or knights, pledged to further a righteous cause to which they devote themselves. They typically hold angels, resplendent servants of good, in high regard, often adorning their armor, shield, or weapon with their iconography. [\/p]\r\n[p][\/p]\r\n[p][b]TENETS OF DEVOTION [\/b][\/p]\r\n[p]Though the exact words and strictures of the oath of Devotion vary, its paladins share these tenets. [\/p]\r\n[p][i]Compassion.[\/i] Protect the weak, aid the helpless, and show mercy to your enemies whenever you are able. [\/p]\r\n[p][i]Courage. [\/i]Though caution is wise, never fear to act. [\/p]\r\n[p][i]Duty.[\/i] Do always as you have sworn to do. Obey those who have authority over you. [\/p]\r\n[p][i]Honesty. [\/i]Never tell a lie when the truth will suffice. Your word is your sacred promise. [\/p]\r\n[p][i]Honor. [\/i]Treat others with fairness. Let your deeds prove your character.[\/p]\r\n[p][\/p]\r\n[p][\/p]\r\n","hit_dice":"","hit_points_at_1st_level":"","hit_points_at_higher_levels":"","armor_proficiencies":"","weapon_proficiencies":"","tools":"","saving_throws":"","skills":"","starting_equipment":"","spellcasting":"","class_features":"[p][b]CHANNEL DIVINITY [\/b][\/p]\r\n[p][i]3rd-Level Devotion Feature [\/i][\/p]\r\n[p]You gain the following two Channel Divinity options. [\/p]\r\n[ul]\r\n- Channel Divinity: Sacred Weapon \r\n[\/ul]\r\n[p]As an action, you can imbue one weapon you are holding with positive energy. For 1 minute, you add your CHA modifier to attack rolls you make with that weapon (minimum bonus of +1). The weapon also emits bright light in a 20-foot radius and dim light 20 feet beyond that. If the effected weapon isn\u2019t already magical, it becomes magical for the duration. You can end this effect on your turn (no action required). It ends early if you fall unconscious. [\/p]\r\n[ul]\r\n- Channel Divinity: Sanctifying Light \r\n[\/ul]\r\n[p]As an action, you present your holy symbol and speak a prayer to bathe yourself in a flash of holy light. Each Aberration, Fey, Fiend, and Undead of your choice within 30 feet of you that can see you must make a CHA save. If the creature fails its save, it is blinded for 1 minute. At the end of each of its turns, a target can make a CON save, ending the effect for itself on a success.

For 1 minute, bright light shines from you in a 30-foot radius, and dim light shines 30 feet beyond that.
