Paladin

Paragons of Virtue

While there are many holy warriors across the lands, few are Paladins. Marked by unwavering dedication to their cause, a true Paladin is a living embodiment of the virtues they swear to uphold. Whether selfless or utilitarian, in service of good or evil, law or chaos, a Paladin is the pinnacle of whatever virtue, cause, or creed they pledge their life to uphold. Many Paladins are honored as holy knights who defend the innocent, inspire hope, and live with honor. However, not all are paragons of righteousness. Some swear to bring divine judgment upon their foes by any means necessary or vow to keep the balance between the wilderness and civilization.

Bound by Oath

No matter the cause or virtue they champion, all Paladins are bound by Sacred Oath. Whether they were raised from birth to swear their Oath when their training was complete, or they cried out to heaven in a fit of despair, all Paladins must swear a Sacred Oath in order to be infused with their divine power. Though the exact words of these Oaths vary across time and cultures, these holy vows bind all Paladins who swear it into common cause, whatever it may be. Once this sacred vow is made, a Paladin must uphold the Tenets of their Oath with unwavering dedication, or they risk losing their divinely ordained abilities. Small transgressions can be forgiven if reparations are made, but should a Paladin knowingly and willfully break the Tenets of their divine Oath, they risk shattering their Oath completely and losing access to the divine power that is infused in them by their Oath.

Tenets of Tomorrow

1st-level Oath of Tomorrow feature The tenets of tomorrow are a newly crafted vow, often mutating to better fit the rapidly progressing world tomorrowbringers seek after.

Effect Change. Stagnation is death. Always drive experimentation, new ways of thinking, and cultural progress.

Pure Reason. Mortals should be rational beings. The power of your reason will unlock secrets to greater futures.

Mortals are Limitless. Defy the irrational chains placed upon what mortal civilization can and cannot accomplish. There is a future grandeur just waiting to be achieved.

Kill the Past. The society of the past did not know what you do now. It is a scar reminding mortals of what they thought they couldn't do. Let history die in its cobwebs.

Stroke of Genius

1st-level Oath of Tomorrow feature You can use 1 Divine Fervor as an action to enter a frenzy of miraculous ingenuity. For 10 minutes, if your total for any Intelligence check you make is less than 16, you use 16 in place of the total.

Tomorrow Spells

2nd-level Oath of Tomorrow feature The spells below become Paladin spells for you at the levels noted in the table below. You always have them prepared, but they don't count against the spells you can prepare each day. Paladin Level Spells

2nd: bane, grease
5th: heat metal, locate object
9th: call lightning, tiny servant
13th: fabricate, polymorph

Empower Invention

3rd-level Oath of Tomorrow feature As a bonus action, you can infuse one melee weapon you hold with electric power, using 2 Divine Fervor. For 1 minute, the weapon inflicts lightning damage, instead of its normal damage type, and it emits dim light in a 5-foot radius. A creature hit by this weapon can't take reactions until the start of its next turn. You can end this effect on your turn (no action required). If you are no longer holding or carrying this weapon, or if you fall unconscious, this effect ends.

Chained Smite

3rd-level Oath of Tomorrow feature The next time you hit a creature with a weapon attack before this spell ends, your weapon arcs with bright light, and the attack deals an extra 2d8 lightning damage. Two bolts then leap from that target to as many as two other targets, each of which must be within 30 feet of the first target. A creature target by the bolt must must a Dexterity save or take 3d8 Lightning damage or half as much on a successful roll.

Aura of Progress

7th-level Oath of Tomorrow feature Beginning at 7th level, you radiate divine advancement, shielding creatures against stupor and stagnation. You and friendly creatures within 10 feet of you are immune to being paralyzed while you are conscious. At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet.

Electric Feedback

15th-level Oath of Tomorrow feature Starting at 15th level, when a creature hits you with a melee weapon attack, it takes lightning damage equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum 1), if you're not incapacitated.

Avant Guardian

You grow to a Large size, and your equipment grows with you, doubling your reach and quadrupling your weight.
You are immune to poison, psychic, and lightning damage.
You are immune to being charmed, exhausted, petrified, or poisoned, and magic can't put you to sleep.
You are resistant to nonmagical bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage inflicted by weapons that are not made of adamantine.
Your melee weapon attacks inflict an additional die of damage and count as magical if they do not already.

This effect lasts for 1 minute. After using this feature, you must finish a long rest before you can use it again.

Oath of the Wilds

Often working alongside Druids, Rangers, and Paladins who have sworn an Oath of the Ancients, those who take the Oath of the Wilds swear to protect and embody the wild power of beasts. They are warriors of nature who stand in defense of a balanced relationship between civilization and the wilds.

Tenets of the Wilds

1st-level Oath of the Wilds feature Though their specific Oath and cause may vary, all Paladins who swear an Oath of the Wilds uphold the following Tenets:

Balance. Strive always to ensure that nature and civilization exist in a balance.

Freedom. Like beasts of the wild, ensure that all living thing can choose its own path.

Natural Law. The natural law of the world is known to all creatures, and it is your task to uphold this order of all things.

Soothe Beast

1st-level Oath of the Wilds feature As an action, you touch your holy symbol to expend 1 Divine Fervor to a beast and force it to make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the beast is charmed by you for 1 hour, or until you or your allies do anything harmful to the creature.

Wild Spells

2nd-level Oath of the Wilds feature The spells below become Paladin spells for you at the levels noted in the table below. You always have them prepared, but they don't count against the spells you can prepare each day. Paladin Level Spells

2nd: command, speak with animals
5th: beast sense, find steed
9th: conjure animals, fear
13th: dominate beast, giant insect
17th: awaken, insect plague

Predator's Mark

3rd-level Oath of the Wilds feature As a bonus action, you can grasp your holy symbol to expend 2 Divine Fervor and mark one creature you can see within 120 feet as your Prey. For 1 hour, you can add your Charisma modifier (minimum of +1) to any ability check that you make to track, tame, grapple, or subdue your Prey.

Tracker's Smite

3rd-level Oath of the Wilds feature You can use your Divine Smite feature when you hit a creature with a ranged weapon attack, or when one of your hounds hits a creature with an attack. Furthermore, you can use your Improved Divine Smite feature with ranged weapon attacks. The damage dice of these features are d6's, rather than d8's, when you use them this way.

Aura of Savagery

7th-level Oath of the Wilds feature Your primal ferocity empowers you and your pack. Creatures of your choice within your Aura of Protection score a critical hit on a d20 roll of 19 or 20 on melee weapon attack rolls.

Undying Predator

15th-level Oath of the Wilds feature Not even death can keep you from defending the wilds. If 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.

Primal Champion

20th-level Oath of the Wilds feature As a bonus action, you can transform into a warrior of primal power. While transformed you gain the following benefits:

Creatures within your Aura of Savagery score a critical on a roll of 18-20 on the d20 for melee weapon attack rolls.
You gain 10 temporary hit points at the start of each turn.
You can use a bonus action on each turn to move up to your speed toward a hostile creature you can see. If you end this movement within 5 feet of the creature you can make a melee weapon attack with advantage against it.

This transformation lasts for 1 minute and ends early if you are incapacitated. Once you use this feature, you must finish a long rest before you can use it again. If you have no uses left you can expend a 5th-level spell slot to transform again.
