Overview & Creation

"In the Light, we gather to empower our Guild. In its grace, we will be made anew. In its power, we shall educate the masses. In its strength, we shall combat any foe. And, in its wisdom, we shall lead our brethren to an eternal reward of paradise.   I do not fear any challenge. Even in the darkest hour, my spirit won't break the oath. Let the Order be a shield for the weak and a spear against the wicked. Let me be one to wield both.   I do not fear evil. No matter how strong the challenge may be, my spirit won't falter. Let the just not surrender, as a triumph of a villain is temporary. Let me be a bulwark alongside them.   I do not fear death. Though my body will die, my spirit will live on. Let it serve as a beacon of light against the darkness. Let me be one to bring hope to a land wrought with despair."

Channel Divinity

When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Divinity options.  

• Protector's Will: You can use your Channel Divinity to invest your presence with the warding power of your faith. As an action, you can choose a number of creatures you can see within 30 feet of you, up to a number equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of one creature). For 1 minute, you and the chosen creatures have advantage on Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma saving throws.
• Turn the Tide: As a bonus action, you can bolster injured creatures with your Channel Divinity. Each creature of your choice that can hear you within 30 feet of you regains hit points equal to 1d6 + your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1). This ability goes to 2d6 at 7th level, 3d6 at 15th level, and 4d6 at 20th level.

 

Aura of Resolve

At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet.  

Undying Sentinel
