Among the most steadfast defenders of primordial life are those paladins who dedicate their lives to Rahidra, where the red earth of the Grassland of the Ancient proves their words of devotion to creation to be true.   These devoted soldiers form the elite of the Apostates of Rahidra: knights completely and utterly faithful to the sacred principles of this religion. They draw their energy from the primeval source of power that permeates creation, and their courage lies in their sacred sense of duty to defend what remains of life against the Aberrations that bear the name of Echoes of Death.
Although their principles are similar to those of the Clerics of Creation, their role is purely warlike. They channel the power of ancient, silent deities to manifest the most destructive side of nature.
Their word is punishment against the horrors of the night.  

Channel Divinity

When choosing this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following options for Channel Divinity:   Elemental Weapon: As an action, you can coat a weapon that you are wielding with elemental energy by using the feature Channel Divinity; by doing so, you would add your Charisma modifier to that weapon’s damage (min 1). All weapon damage is converted to fire, lightning, thunder, or cold damage according to which one you select the moment you strike. The weapon will also emit bright light within a radius of 20 feet and dim light for another 20 feet; you can end this effect instantly by spending a bonus action; the effect also ends if the weapon is no longer in your hands, or if you fall unconscious. Primordial Winds: As an action, you raise your holy symbol and summon powerful winds of primordial magic that overwhelm your enemies; choose a type of damage between fire, cold, lightning, thunder.

• Fire: A loud explosion of flames engulfs you; any creature within a 30 feet radius must make a successful Dexterity Saving Throw or take 4d6 fire damage, halved on a successful Saving Throw.
• Lightning: You raise your sacred symbol high, and, after a few moments, you are enveloped by lightning that departs from your body to unleash the wrath of the heavens on your enemies; any creature within a 30 feet radius must make a successful Dexterity Saving Throw or take 2d10 lightning damage and cannot perform Reactions until the end of its next turn.
• Thunder: Your cry sounds out as the roaring of thunder, emitting a devastating shockwave; any creature within a 30 feet radius must make a successful Strength Saving Throw or take 3d6 thunder damage and be pushed 10 feet back; creatures size Large or smaller are also knocked prone.

Oath of Conquest

The Oath of Conquest calls to paladins who seek glory in battle and the subjugation of their enemies. It isn’t enough for these paladins to establish order. They must crush the forces of chaos. Sometimes called knight tyrants or iron mongers, those who swear this oath gather into grim orders that serve gods or philosophies of war and well-ordered might.  

Tenets of Conquest

A paladin who takes this oath has the tenets of conquest seared on the upper arm.
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.
Strength Above All. You shall rule until a stronger one arises. Then you must grow mightier and meet the challenge, or fall to your own ruin.

Channel Divinity

When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Divinity options. See the Sacred Oath class feature for how Channel Divinity works.
Conquering Presence. You can use your Channel Divinity to exude a terrifying presence. As an action, you force each creature of your choice that you can see within 30 feet of you to make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, a creature becomes frightened of you for 1 minute. The frightened creature can repeat this saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
Guided Strike. You can use your Channel Divinity to strike with supernatural accuracy. When you make an attack roll, you can use your Channel Divinity to gain a +10 bonus to the roll. You make this choice after you see the roll, but before the DM says whether the attack hits or misses.  

Aura of Conquest

Starting at 7th level, you constantly emanate a menacing aura while you’re not incapacitated. The aura extends 10 feet from you in every direction, but not through total cover. If a creature is frightened of you, its speed is reduced to 0 while in the aura, and that creature takes psychic damage equal to half your paladin level if it starts its turn there. At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet.  

Scornful Rebuke

Starting at 15th level, those who dare to strike you are psychically punished for their audacity. Whenever a creature hits you with an attack, that creature takes psychic damage equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1) if you’re not incapacitated.  

Invincible Conqueror

At 20th level, you gain the ability to harness extraordinary martial prowess. As an action, you can magically become an avatar of conquest, gaining the following benefits for 1 minute:

• You have resistance to all damage.

• When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can make one additional attack as part of that action.

• Your melee weapon attacks score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20 on the d20.

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

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.  

Tenets of Devotion

Though the exact words and strictures of the Oath of Devotion vary, paladins of this oath share 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.

For I minute, you add your Charisma modifier to attack rolls made with that weapon (with a minimum bonus of +1).

You can end this effect on your turn as part of any other action. 1fyou are no longer holding or carrying this weapon, or if you fall unconscious, this effect ends.
Turn the Unholy. As an action, you present your holy symbol and speak a prayer censuring fiends and undead, using your Channel Divinity. Each fiend or undead that can see or hear you within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw. 1fthe creature fails its saving throw, it is turned for I minute or until it takes damage. A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it can't willingly move to a space within 30 feet of you. It also can't take reactions. For its action, it can use only the Dash action or try to escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If there's nowhere to move, the creature can use the Dodge action.

In addition, for the duration, you have advantage on saving throws against spells cast by fiends or undead. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

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.  

Tenets of Glory

The tenets of the Oath of Glory drive a paladin to attempt heroics that might one day shine in legend.
Action 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 Glory Spells

Peerless Athlete. As a bonus action, you can use your Channel Divinity to augment your athleticism. For the next 10 minutes, you have advantage on Strength (Athletics) and Dexterity (Acrobatics) checks; you can carry, push, drag, and lift twice as much weight as normal; and the distance of your long and high jumps increases by 10 feet (this extra distance costs movement as normal).
Inspiring Smite. Immediately after you deal damage to a creature with your Divine Smite feature, you can use your Channel Divinity as a bonus action and distribute temporary hit points to creatures of your choice within 30 feet of you, which can include you. The total number of temporary hit points equals 2d8 + your level in this class, divided among the chosen creatures however you like.  

Aura of Alacrity

You emanate an aura that fills you and your companions with supernatural speed, allowing you to race across a battlefield in formation. Your walking speed increases by 10 feet. In addition, if you aren’t incapacitated, the walking speed of any ally who starts their turn within 5 feet of you increases by 10 feet until the end of that turn.   When you reach 18th level in this class, the range of the aura increases to 10 feet.  

Glorious Defense

You can turn defense into a sudden strike. When you or another creature you can see within 10 feet of you is hit by an attack roll, you can use your reaction to grant a bonus to the target’s AC against that attack, potentially causing it to miss. The bonus equals your Charisma modifier (minimum of +1). If the attack misses, you can make one weapon attack against the attacker as part of this reaction, provided the attacker is within your weapon’s range.   You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.  

Living Legend

• You are blessed with an otherworldly presence, gaining advantage on all Charisma checks.
• Once on each of your turns when you make a weapon attack and miss, you can cause that attack to hit instead.
• If you fail a saving throw, you can use your reaction to reroll it. You must use this new roll.

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 Predation

Paladins who follow the Oath of Predation believe that the world can only be made perfect through utter control. Through careful planning, subterfuge and unwavering patience, these paladins create hierarchies with themselves at the top, and execute their power with impunity. Few paladins can resist the allure of unchecked power, and most succumb to the temptations of tyranny.  

Tenets of Predation

The tenets of the Oath of Predation remind adherents that the whims of their patron supersede all other oaths and laws.
Cultivate the Flock. It is not enough to gather a congregation. You must hone them to a ready point, zealous to do what is necessary with a word.
Maintain Supremacy.You are the order in the midst of chaos. You vow to follow no rules other than the rigid disciplines necessary to maintain the faith. Those who deviate from the plan will die.
Reward Thy Followers. Engage not in needless cruelty and treat well those who submit. Honor thy contracts but do not hesitate to steal, murder, or mislead to complete your orders.
World of Order. You provide authority where it lacks and subjugate yourself to the cause. Just as you do not operate with impunity, you create and maintain a network of followers to precipitate an unquestionable dominion.   Oath of Predation Spells                                            

Paladin Level	Spells
3rd	Command, Protection from Evil and Good
5th	Enthrall, Pass Without Trace

Bonus Proficiencies

At 3rd level, you gain proficiency in thieves’ tools and your choice of the Sleight of Hand or Stealth skills.   Additionally, if you are proficient in the Deception, Intimidation, or Persuasion skills, your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make using this skill.  

Channel Divinity

When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Divinity options.
Predatory Instincts. When you roll initiative, you can immediately use your Channel Divinity to imbue your movements with foul alacrity. You add your Charisma modifier to your initiative roll, you have advantage on attack rolls against any creature that hasn’t taken a turn in combat yet, and you deal an additional 1d6 necrotic damage to that creature. This damage increases to 2d6 at 7th level, 3d6 at 11th level, 4d6 at 15th level, and 5d6 at 19th level.
Fell Suggestion. As an action, you can use your Channel Divinity to magically enthrall another creature within 5 feet of you. If the target can see or hear you, it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or become charmed by you for 1 minute.   You can use a bonus action to issue simple commands to the charmed creature if it is within 60 feet of you. You decide what action the creature takes and where it moves during its next turn. When you issue a command, and at the end of each of its turns, the creature must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or carry out your instructions to the best of its ability on its turn. The DM determines how the target behaves.   Once the effect ends, or if the creature succeeds on its initial saving throw against this effect, you can’t use this feature on that creature again until you finish a long rest.  

Perfect Domination

Starting at 7th level, when you use your Fell Suggestion Channel Divinity option, you can choose to force the creature to fail its saving throw if its challenge rating is equal to or below a certain threshold, as shown below. When the creature makes a saving throw to break the effect, it does so with disadvantage.   A creature subjected to your perfect domination is charmed by you for 1 hour instead of 1 minute.   Starting at 15th level, creatures of CR 1/2 or lower are charmed by you indefinitely until the charm is broken. At 19th level, this indefinite charm extends to creatures of CR 1 or lower.   Perfect Domination                                     

Paladin Level	Creature's CR
7th	1/2 or lower
11th	1 or lower
15th	2 or lower
19th	3 or lower

 

Shroud of the Illrigger

Beginning at 15th level, you are always under the effects of a pass without trace spell.  

Hand of Manipulation

At 20th level, you gain the ability to execute your master plans unseen. As an action, you can magically become an avatar of deception and subterfuge, gaining the following benefits for 1 minute:

• You gain the effects of a greater invisibility spell.
• Once per turn, when you have advantage on your attack roll, you can choose to deal extra necrotic damage equal to your paladin level.
• Your allies have advantage on melee attack rolls against any creature within 5 feet of you that you choose. Their attacks deal additional damage equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1).
• You and each creature of your choice that you can see within 30 feet of you are immune to being charmed.

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

Oath of Providence

Paladins who take the Oath of Providence believe they are the hand of destiny, striking down enemies beyond redemption. They believe in their hearts that some creatures, often those who commit atrocities, are fated to die in battle. These paladins are the executioners. Their oath gives them the power to bend destiny in their favor and send foes to their final fate.  

Tenets of Providence

The tenets of the Oath of Providence are written in stone on the tombs of paladins undertaking this path.br] Embrace Destiny. When bad luck comes your way, understand it was meant to be and search for the opportunity fate has given you within your loss.
Deliver Enemies to Fate.Those who become your enemies aren’t long for this world. They must die by your hand.
Accept Immutability. Fate is a force more powerful than the gods. Accept that there are situations in which you're powerless and take power over that you can influence.
Strength in Numbers. Together with your allies, you have the power to influence fate. Destiny smiles upon those who embrace it.   Oath of Providence Spells

Channel Divinity

When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Divinity options.
Predestination. You can use your Channel Divinity to invoke the divine to smile upon your allies. When one creature within 60 feet of you that you can see makes a saving throw, you can use your reaction to grant the creature advantage on the save, using your Channel Divinity. If the effect allows the creature to take only half damage on a successful save, the creature instead takes no damage on a successful save, and only half as much damage one a failed one.
Kiss of Calamity. As an action, your Channel Divinity can be used to besiege your enemies with bad luck. While you are conscious, each hostile creature that can see or hear you within 30 feet of you must make a Charisma saving throw, gaining disadvantage on all saving throws for 1 minute on a failure.  

Favor the Brave

Beginning at 7th level, you take fortune into your own hands. When you make a weapon attack, you can choose to hit instead of rolling. You must use this feature before you roll.   You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (a minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.  

Gift of Foresight

Starting at 15th level, your faith grants you a prophetic glimpse into the future. When you finish a short or long rest, roll a d20 and record the number rolled. You can replace any attack roll, saving throw, or ability check made by you or a creature that you can see with your prophetic roll. You must choose to do so before the roll, and you can use roll in this way only once.   When you finish a short or long rest, you lose any unused prophetic roll.  

Hand of Fate

At 20th level, you become an agent of destiny, heavily influencing the outcome of the events around you. For 1 minute, you project an aura of dim, silver light in a 10- foot radius. Whenever an enemy creature starts its turn in your aura, it has disadvantage on attacks and saving throws, while you and friendly creatures have advantage on attack rolls and saving throws. When the aura fades away, you regain all expended uses of your Favor the Bold feature.   Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.

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.  

Tenets of Redemption

The tenets of the Oath of Redemption hold a paladin to a high standard of peace and justice.
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.   Oath of Redemption Spells

3rd	Sanctuary, Sleep

Channel Divinity

When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Divinity options.
Emissary of Peace. You can use your Channel Divinity to augment your presence with divine power. As a bonus action, you grant yourself a +5 bonus to Charisma (Persuasion) checks for the next 10 minutes.
Rebuke the Violent. You can use your Channel Divinity to rebuke those who use violence. Immediately after an attacker within 30 feet 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 just dealt. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage.  

Aura of the Guardian

Starting at 7th level, you can shield others from harm at the cost of your own health. When a creature within 10 feet 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.   At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet.  

Protective Spirit

Starting at 15th level, 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

At 20th level, you become an avatar of peace, which gives you two benefits:

• You have resistance to all damage dealt by other creatures (their attacks, spells, and other effects).

• Whenever a creature hits you with an attack, it takes radiant damage equal to half the damage you take 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 the 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.

 

Tenets of the Ancients

The tenets of the Oath of the Ancients have been preserved for uncounted centuries. This oath emphasizes the principles of good above any concerns of law or chaos. Its four central principles are simple.
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.   Oath of the Ancients Spells

Channel Divinity

When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Divinity options.
Nature's Wrath. You can use your Channel Divinity to invoke primeval forces to ensnare a foe. As an action, you can cause spectral vines to spring up and reach for a creature within 10 feet of you that you can see. 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.
Turn the Faithless. You can use your Channel Divinity to utter ancient words that are painful for fey and fiends to hear. As an action, you present your holy symbol, and each fey or fiend within 30 feet of you that can hear you must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is turned for 1 minute or until it takes damage.
A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it can't willingly move to a space within 30 feet of you. It also can't take reactions. For its action, it can use only the Dash action or try to escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If there's nowhere to move, the creature can use the Dodge action.
If the creature's true form is concealed by an illusion, shapeshifting, or other effect, that form is revealed while it is turned.  

Aura of Warding

Beginning at 7th level, ancient magic lies so heavily upon you that it forms an eldritch ward. You and friendly creatures within 10 feet of you have resistance to damage from spells. At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet.  

Undying Sentinel

Starting at 15th level, when you are reduced to 0 hit points and are not killed outright, you can choose to drop to 1 hit point instead. Once you use this ability, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest. Additionally, you suffer none of the drawbacks of old age, and you can't be aged magically.  

Elder Champion

At 20th level, you can assume the form of an ancient force of nature, taking on an appearance you choose. For example, your skin might turn green or take on a bark-like texture, your hair might become leafy or moss-like, or you might sprout antlers or a lion-like mane. Using your action, you undergo a transformation. For 1 minute, you gain the following benefits:

• At the start of each of your turns, you regain 10 hit points.

• Whenever you cast a paladin spell that has a casting time of 1 action, you can cast it using a bonus action instead.

• Enemy creatures within 10 feet of you have disadvantage on saving throws against your paladin spells and Channel Divinity options.

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

Oath of the Guardian

The Oath of the Guardian is that of a protector and a front-line shield to protect weaker allies on the battlefield. The Paladins that swear this Oath devote themselves to an area, a people or a military with the intent to be an immoveable wall between the strong and the weak whether it is escaping civilians or a wizard under the same banner. These Paladins escort nobles, act as the royal guard for Kings and protect keeps from swarming invaders by using large shields and defensive magic. Often, Paladins that swear this Oath serve a nation’s military, a powerful noble or even just an organized militia where they can be a powerful defense for their allies.  

Tenets of the Guardian

The tenets of the Guardian may vary based on what military, organization or noble that they have sworn their Oath to. Common examples of this Oath are:   Courage. Fear nothing; the ranks you stand within shall prevail if you stand together. No force shall surmount those of one mind.   Loyalty. Your companions and your brothers in arms are true family, never waiver for they will never fail you.   Duty. Be diligent in all things. Train hard and become a shield for those around you that have need of protection.   Discipline. Understand the nature of tactics, if it is your time to hold the line then hold the line so that you may taste victory together.

Oath of the Crown

The Oath of the 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.  

Tenets of the Crown

The tenets of the Oath of the Crown are often set by the sovereign to which their oath is sworn, but generally emphasize the following 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 the Crown Spells

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 gods. when a thieves' guild grows too violent and powerful, when a dragon 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 - their own purity is not as important as delivering justice.  

Tenets of Vengeance

The tenets of the Oath of Vengeance vary by paladin, but all the tenets revolve around punishing wrongdoers by any means necessary. Paladins who uphold these tenets are willing to sacrifice even their own righteousness to mete out justice upon those who do evil, so the paladins are often neutral or lawful neutral in alignment. The core principles of the tenets are brutally simple.
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 extinguishing 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 Vengeance Spells

Additionally, the paladin and creatures he or she chooses in the aura are draped in deeper shadow. Creatures that rely on sight have disadvantage on attack rolls against creatures draped in this shadow.   While the aura lasts, the paladin can use a bonus action on his or her turn to cause the shadows in the aura to attack one creature. The paladin makes a melee spell attack against the target. If the attack hits, the target takes necrotic damage equal to 3d10 + the paladin’s Charisma modifier.   After activating the aura, the paladin can’t do so again until he or she finishes a long rest.

Oath of the Grave

The Oath of the Grave is a seldom practised tradition, most commonly reserved for the followers of the Raven Queen. Sometimes called winter knights, black knights, or grave knights, these paladins serve as protectors of the sacred passings into the afterlife. They constantly struggle against the forces of undeath, as they see them as the most unholy abominations that blight this land. They adorn themselves with images of death and winter - skulls, ravens, or similar symbols of their patron gods.

Tenets of the Grave

The tenets of the Oath of the grave have been passed down for generations. This oath emphasizes the passing between the warmth of life to the everlasting cold of death, and punishes those that defile this passing with the unholy raising of undead.
Annihilate the Unholy. The undead and those who foster them are unholy and wicked. Destroy them before they defile more than they have already
Preserve the Righteous. Death should not come early to those who have led a blessed life . Preserve the righteous, so they may live on without fear.
Let Souls Pass On. Every soul deserves its place in the afterlife. When you see a creature forced into undeath, let its soul go free.
Accept Death. Death comes to all eventually. Accept it, and you will find a place in the afterlife.
