The year 2025 marks 50 years of paladins in Dungeons & Dragons, if we start our count from the 1975 publication of the Greyhawk supplement which introduced the paladin as a subclass of the fighting man. That makes the paladin as old as some spells that were introduced in Greyhawk, and also as old as the game’s actual combat mechanics, which were also published in Greyhawk! Myself, I started playing with the Fifth Edition of the game, so I’ve been around only briefly. But in that time, the paladin has been my favorite class from the very start. Perhaps fitting the occasion, you hold in your digital hands seventeen homebrew Sacred Oaths that run a wide gamut of themes, tropes, and ideals.

Now, why a compendium? Why not just hand you a folder of PDFs, which let’s be honest is easier for access and organization anyway? Well… I don’t really have a good reason, to be honest. I hope that it’s fun this way. Sometimes having a gigantic, unwieldy document is oddly thrilling. Hopefully to make it more worth your time, I’ve included rollable traits tables or similar ideas with some of the Sacred Oaths, as well as a new chapter of homebrew spells.

    I’d like to give a big thanks to the many members of the Dungeons & Dragons homebrew community who've contributed to making this compendium what it is, including the Unearthed Arcana subreddit. The Discord of Many Things server has been instrumental in providing design feedback, balance advice, and generally just making everything 20% cooler. Shoutouts to ACOG_Muffin, Alice the Alhoon, Ashley, AtinVexien, CaelReader, Caim, Genuine Believer, Gray, Haydizzle, ItsMaybelline, Jaek, Janawhamme, Jay, Marceline, NotTheSmoooze, Novronian, Sgt Briar, SwordMeow, wick, Wufflykins, and Yorviing. Thanks to all
of y'all!

Sacred Oath

At 3rd level, a paladin gains the Sacred Oath feature. The following options are available to a paladin, in addition to those offered in the Player’s Handbook: the Oath of Anarchy, the Oath of Benevolence, the Oath of Betrothal, the Oath of Detachment, the Oath of Enlightenment, the Oath of Enthusiasm, the Oath of Freshness, the Oath of Healing, the Oath of Liberty, the Oath of Power, the Oath of Self, the Oath of Sensation, the Oath of Society, the Oath of Strangers, the Oath of the Directive, the Oath of the Revenant, and the Oath of Tomorrow.

Chaos Versus Law

Inspired by the Fantra class introduced in Dragon no. 106 (February 1986), the Oath of Anarchy is sworn by paladins dedicated to struggling in behalf of chaos against law. Such paladins may be uninterested in conflicts between good and evil. This is reflected in the original features of the Fantra, which included bonus detection of and damage against lawful creatures.

For players and DMs interested in similar and other mechanics to further the theme of this Sacred Oath, the following optional features can be included as part of the Oath of Anarchy when it’s taken or as part of the paladin’s progression starting from 1st level:

Dances With Wolves

When you cast the find familiar or find steed spells, you can choose for the summoned creature to be a beast instead of a celestial, fey, or fiend.

Detect Law

When you use your Divine Sense, you detect the presence of constructs, fiends, and elementals instead of celestials, fiends, and undead.

Strike the Inflexible

The bite of your blows is focused not on the unholy, but on the obdurate. When you use your Divine Smite, you inflict an extra 1d8 radiant damage against constructs and elementals instead of fiends and undead.

Quickfooted

Starting at 15th level, when you use your action to Dash
or Disengage, you can make a single weapon attack as a
bonus action.

Limitless Power

By 20th level, you can use your action to break free of all bonds and restrictions, adopting a mantle of sovereignty. For 1 minute, you gain a flying speed of 90 feet, experience the effects of the freedom of movement spell, and are immune to enchantment spells you do not choose to be affected by. You can also move through other creatures and objects, and you take 1d10 force damage if you end your turn inside an object. Additionally, you ignore a creature’s resistance or immunity to any damage you inflict on it.

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

Oath of Benevolence

IF I AM A PRINCESS IN RAGS AND TATTERS, I CAN BE
a princess inside. It would be easy to be a princess if I were dressed in cloth of gold, but it is a great deal more of a triumph to be one all the time when no one knows it.

                       —Frances Hodgson Burnett, A Little Princess

Tireless Spirit

By 15th level, you can persevere beyond mortal limits. You’re immune to the effects of exhaustion, except death. Magic can’t force you to sleep or reduce your movement speed.

Inner Majesty

Starting at 20th level, you can use an action to manifest visibly the regal spirit you’ve always borne within, adopting a mantle of benevolence and brilliant radiance. You gain the following benefits for 1 minute:

• You shed bright light for 15 feet and dim light 15 feet beyond that. This light is sunlight.
• When you use your Divine Smite feature, you deal an extra 1d8 radiant damage to the target.
• You emanate an aura of majesty in a 30-foot radius. When a hostile creature starts its turn in the aura or enters it for the first time on a turn, it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your paladin spell save DC or be charmed by you until the start of its next turn or until you do anything harmful to it.

Alternatively, you can cast the heroes’ feast spell once without requiring a spell slot or any material components.

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

Channel Divinity

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

Confess Love. Your loving declaration thunders with power from the depths of your heart. You can use your Channel Divinity as an action to invoke the name of your beloved, which is audible out to 100 feet. You gain temporary hit points equal to your paladin level, and one creature within 30 feet of you that can hear you of your choice must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, it is knocked prone and takes thunder damage equal to 1d6 + your paladin level. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and isn’t knocked prone.

To Be True. When you or a creature within 30 feet of you fails a saving throw against an enchantment spell or against being charmed, you can use your reaction to speak a prayer of virtue, using your Channel Divinity. The affected creature rerolls the saving throw with advantage, possibly changing the failure to a success.

Aura of Care

At 7th level, your heartfelt spirit manifests as an aura of succor and sacrifice. At the start of each of your turns while you aren’t incapacitated, you can choose to lose hit points up to your paladin level, converting your vitality into healing energy that can restore a number of hit points equal to those you lost. Choose any conscious creatures within 10 feet of you, and divide those hit points among them. You can’t use this feature on undead or constructs.

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

Constancy of Heart

Starting at 15th level, the integrity of your love is unmarred. You can’t be affected by any enchantment spell unless you choose to be.

Hopeful Romantic

At 20th level, you can use your action to draw upon your love to aid you in battle, placing you in danger before others. Your heart visibly glows with burning light, and for 1 minute, you gain the following benefits:

• You shed bright light in a 15-foot radius and dim light for an additional 15 feet.
• Hostile creatures within 30 feet of you have disadvantage on all attack rolls made against any creature besides you.
• When you roll a 2 or less on a damage die, you may reroll the die.
• When a friendly creature you can see takes damage, you can move up to your speed toward it as a reaction.
• You are immune to being charmed.

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

Tenets of Detachment

The Oath of Detachment may be sworn by
servants of arcane gods, pantheons of
knowledge, or secret worldly fellowships.

Uphold the Balance. Distance yourself
from all extremes and the strife inherent to
such division. The world is what it is, and
each player has their part.

Moderate Your Passion. Intense emotion
is the birthplace of the conflicts you seek to
quell. As in all things, be sober and employ
your mind over your heart.

Seek After Truth. Of all things that are,
truth is the greatest of all. Treasure pure knowledge
in all its forms.

Guide the Lost. Though you conquer imbalance,
you sow only sectarianism if you forget to aid to those
without your insight. Respect those who do not under-
stand the virtues of balance. Your companionship will
turn them to your cause.

Oath Spells

You gain oath spells at the paladin levels listed.

Channel Divinity

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

Consecrated Casting. You can use your Channel Divinity to tap into a well of arcane power. Choose a spell of 1st-level or higher from the wizard spell list. You cast the spell, expending an appropriate spell slot. The spell you choose must be of a level you are capable of casting, and it must be cast using an action or bonus action.

Turn the Extreme. As an action, you use your Channel Divinity to speak an ancient word of power rebuking cosmic imbalance. Each celestial, dragon, fiend, or giant within 30 feet of you that can hear you must make a Wisdom saving throw. A creature that fails the saving throw 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.

Aura of Temperance

By 7th level, you emanate moderation and balance. Critical hits inflicted against friendly creatures within 10 feet of you are resolved as normal hits while you are conscious.

Without Opinion

At 15th level, your mind becomes further removed from the world and its quarrels, and your ambivalence is inscrutable. You are immune to any effect that would sense your emotions or read your thoughts, and you can’t be targeted by divination magic by which you don’t choose to be affected. Wisdom (Insight) checks to ascertain your intentions or sincerity are made at disadvantage.

You also gain proficiency in Intelligence saving throws, and your alignment can’t be changed by magic unless you allow it.

Impose Compromise

At 20th level, you can use an action to enforce your will for dispassionate balance upon the rest of the world. For 1 minute, you gain the following benefits:

• Whenever a creature damages you, you can use a reaction to take half as much damage and cause the creature to lose the same number of hit points.
• When you miss with an attack, you still inflict half as much damage as you would’ve had you hit.
• If you would make an ability check, attack roll, or saving throw at disadvantage, you instead make the roll normally.
• If a creature would make an ability check, attack roll, or saving throw against you at advantage, it instead makes the roll normally.
• You gain the benefits of the true seeing spell.

You can use this feature once and regain its use after finishing a long rest.

Enlightening Meditations

Mental discipline is paramount to a mindsword’s power, and for most that is best cultivated through careful, deliberate meditation. Your paladin’s meditative technique may be a reflection of their personal tastes or of the inherited teachings of a mystic order in which they take part. Consider some of the ideas from the following table, or make up your own meditative technique for your paladin.

Oath of Enthusiasm

STAY CURIOUS, STAY WEIRD, STAY KIND, AND
don’t let anyone ever tell you you aren’t smart or brave
or worthy enough.
                                  —Alex Hirsch, Gravity Falls: Journal 3

Enthusiastic Activities

As part of fulfilling their vows to make the most of life, paladins who swear the Oath of Enthusiasm often take up avocational activities as personal, recreational passions inspired by their oath but not necessarily related to its sacred powers. The following table lists a few possible activities suitable for a paladin of Enthusiasm. In developing your paladin character, you might roll on the table, choose one of the options, or use it as inspiration for your own ideas.

Oath of Freshness

“REDOING MY MAKEUP AFTER A BATTLE IS SUCH
a hassle.”    “You wear makeup? I woke up like this.”

                                               —Nintendo, Splatoon

Calamari Incantation

At 20th level, you can use an action to begin singing a truly heavenly song, reaching the hearts of all who hear. You gain the following benefits for 1 minute:

• A hostile creature that can hear you and starts its turn within 30 feet of you or moves to a point within 30 feet of you for the first time on a turn must immediately expend all of its remaining movement to dance without leaving its space. An affected creature can make a Wisdom saving throw against your paladin spell save DC at the end of each of its turns. If it fails the saving throw by five or more, it also has disadvantage on attack rolls until the end of its next turn. On a success, it becomes immune to this effect for 24 hours.
• No effect can make you inaudible to any creature you can see unless you allow it.
• You and friendly creatures within 30 feet of you are immune to the charmed condition.

Once you take this action, you must finish a long rest before you can do so again.

Channel Divinity

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

Panacea. Over the course of 10 minutes and using an herbalism kit, you can use your Channel Divinity to synthesize one bottle of a miraculous healing draught called a panacea. A creature that drinks the panacea as an action regains a number of hit points equal to your paladin level + your Charisma modifier, and it is healed of one effect of its choice causing it to be blinded, deafened, diseased, paralyzed, or poisoned. Any panacea you have created loses its potency when you make another one or when you finish a long rest.

Sterilize. As a reaction when a creature other than you that you can see within 60 feet of you is damaged, you can use your Channel Divinity to purify the wound with radiant fire. The damage is reduced by 1d10 + your Charisma modifier (minimum 1), and the creature has advantage on saving throws against disease and poison until the start of its next turn. Each hostile creature within 5 feet of it must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking radiant damage equal to the damage prevented, or half as much on a successful save.

Aura of Healing

Beginning at 7th level, you overflow with purifying energy. You and friendly creatures within 10 feet of you gain resistance to poison damage and can’t be poisoned or contract disease while you are conscious.

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

A Pound of Cure

At 15th level, your treatments improve. When a creature regains hit points through a paladin spell you cast or one of your paladin class features, it also gains temporary hit points equal to the hit points regained, up to a maximum equal to your paladin level. These temporary hit points last until the start of your next turn.

Also, when you cast a spell that would restore a creature to life (but not undeath), you can use a material component valued at half the normal cost.

Miracle Worker

At 20th level, you can use an action to physically manifest your will for health, transforming into a being of searing sanitation. All diseases and poisons within 30 feet of you are nullified, and you gain the following benefits for 1 minute:

• At the end of each of your turns, you and friendly creatures within 30 feet of you regain 10 hit points.
• You are immune to poison damage and have resistance to nonmagical bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.
• Using your Sterilize feature doesn’t expend a use of your Channel Divinity.

After taking this action, you must finish a long rest before you can do so again.

Channel Divinity

Starting at 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Divinity options.

Power to the People. You can use your Channel Divinity as a bonus action to inspire others with hope to rise against their oppressors. Any friendly creature other than yourself that is within 30 feet of you and can hear you can use its reaction to stand if it is prone or to attempt to escape a grapple if it is grappled.

Voice of the People. As an action, you use your Channel Divinity to call on the strengths and rights of the people surrounding you. Any friendly creature within 30 feet of you that can hear you and can speak can use its reaction to join your cry. Any hostile creature within 30 feet of a creature that participates in the cry must make a Charisma saving throw. On a failed save, it is charmed by you and each creature that joined the cry until the end of your next turn as it is overcome by the virtue of your cause.

Aura of Liberty

Starting at 7th level, no tyrant or oppressor can make you kneel. You and friendly creatures within 10 feet of you can’t be forced prone by hostile creatures while you are conscious.

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

Universal Suffrage

Beginning at 15th level, your conviction that all have an equal right to life and liberty pulls down those who would claim unjust advantage. You can attempt to grapple or shove a creature regardless of its size.

Beacon of Freedom

At 20th level, you become a light of liberty to all nations and peoples. As an action, you can undergo a transformation, gaining stone-like skin and a burning radiance. You gain the following benefits for 1 minute:

• Bright light shines from you in a 30-foot radius, and dim light shines 30 feet beyond that.
• The ranges of your Aura of Protection, Aura of Courage, and Aura of Liberty features increase to 60 feet.
• Attacks made by you and friendly creatures within 60 feet of you inflict extra fire damage equal to the number of friendly creatures within 60 feet of you, up to a maximum of 10 fire damage.
• You gain resistance against bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage and immunity to poison damage and the poisoned condition.

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

Oath of Power

MOST HEROES SHOW SIGNS OF GREATNESS EVEN
as children. Many of them claim that their bodies simply moved before they could think!

                                 —Kōhei Horikoshi, My Hero Academia

Oath of Self

I SWEAR—BY MY LIFE AND MY LOVE OF IT—THAT I
will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.
                                                   —Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

Physician, Heal Thyself

Starting at 15th level, when you use your Lay on Hands feature on yourself, you gain temporary hit points equal to the number of hit points you expend from your pool of healing, up to a maximum equal to your paladin level.

Also, when you target yourself with Cleansing Touch, you gain temporary hit points equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum 1).

Object of Worship

At 20th level, you discover that the one thing worthy of your worship is you. You can deify yourself as an action, and this generates the following effects for 1 minute:

• You gain resistance to all damage.
• You are immune to being charmed, paralyzed, or petrified.
• Your weapon attacks score a critical hit on a roll of 18–20.
• Creatures within 30 feet of you can’t use or benefit from the Help action unless you allow it.
• You can use Self-interest without expending a use of your Channel Divinity.

After using this feature, you must finish a long rest before you can do so again.

Self-expression

Paladins who make the Oath of Self consider their tenets’ truthfulness self-evident. Nevertheless, rationally apprehending the world obliges them to recognize that their values are not universal, the unfortunate result of, from their perspective, widespread misunderstanding and apathy. In explaining their singular beliefs to the uncomprehending, many such paladins coin precepts and phrases, the better for communicating your ideas concisely—or at least for feeling like they are. The following table lists a few possible such expressions, and you can also create your own.

Oath of Sensation

Paladins bearing this oath swear themselves to sensation in all its forms as their ideal. Heady abstractions or coded conduct are seen as mere distractions from the realities of what one feels. Meaning, therefore, is only found in the delights and anguishes of both body and mind, the more potent the better. Since the ache of good labor can give way to satisfaction with work well done, and the joy of love can yield to pain at separation, these paladins—called pain knights and ecstasists—simply extrapolate these ideas to their furthest extremes. If pain and pleasure are two sides of the same coin, why not revel in both?

Oath of Society

SOCIETY… OUGHT NOT TO BE CONSIDERED AS
nothing better than a partnership agreement in a trade of pepper and coffee, calico, or tobacco, or some other such low concern, to be taken up for a little temporary interest, and to be dissolved by the fancy of the parties. It is to be looked on with other reverence.

—Edmund Burke, Reflections on the Revolution in France

Aura of Clarity

By 7th level, your presence dispels confusion and disarray. While you are conscious, you and friendly creatures within 10 feet of you are immune to being blinded, deafened, or affected by the confusion spell or effects similar to it.

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

Common Cause

Beginning at 15th level, your steadfastness spreads to your comrades. When you cast a paladin spell on a friendly creature (including yourself), that creature gains temporary hit points equal to your Charisma modifier plus the level of the spell (minimum of 1).

Additionally, you have advantage on Charisma (Persuasion) checks made to interact with people involved in government and law, such as bureaucrats, constabulary, judges, or royalty.

Pillar of Society

At 20th level, you can use an action to become an inspiring avatar of cosmic law whose steps claim the earth for civilization. For 1 minute, your body looks as if it burns with a holy fire, and you gain the following benefits:

• You radiate bright light for 15 feet and dim light 15 feet beyond that. This light illuminates even magical darkness.
• Whenever you or a friendly creature within 30 feet of you hits with an attack, it inflicts an extra 1d6 radiant damage.
• Each hostile creature within 30 feet of you must subtract 1d6 from any ability check or attack roll it makes.
• You have advantage on saving throws against spells cast by aberrations and fey.

Alternatively, you can cast the spell mighty fortress^XGE
once without requiring a spell slot or material components.
When you cast mighty fortress in this way, the fortress you conjure bears the effects of your Blessed Settlement feature for as long as it lasts.

Once you use your Pillar of Society feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.

Edificial Hierarchy

The Oath of Society is inspired by the Lyan class presented in Dragon no. 106 (February 1986), in which it is described as the clergy of the Edificial Churches, a faith dedicated to a deity known only as the Arbiter. As appropriate to the campaign, setting, Dungeon Master, and players, you might consider incorporating this into the lore of the Oath of Society, considering their order to be the Edificial clergy. For ideas on how to structure this clergy, consider the following table as one example of how to arrange an Edificial Clergy.

Oath of Strangers

I BELIEVE THAT TO HAVE A FRIEND, A MAN MUST BE
one. That all men are created equal and that everyone has within himself the power to make this a better world. That God put the firewood there but that every man must gather and light it himself. In being prepared physically, mentally, and morally to fight when necessary for that which is right. That a man should make the most of what equipment he has.

                                  —Fran Striker, The Lone Ranger Creed

Strange Quirks

The unique path of the Oath of Strangers can leave a mark on those who walk it. Consider choosing from or rolling on the following table to pick a unique quirk for your character, or use it as inspiration to create your own.

Oath of the Directive

IF YOU WERE TO INSIST I WAS A ROBOT, YOU MIGHT
not consider me capable of love in some mystic human sense, but you would not be able to distinguish my reactions from that which you would call love—so what difference would
it make?

                                         —Isaac Asimov, Foundation’s Edge

Artificial Ascension

At 20th level, you have perfected all your processes as the archetypal automaton. You can enter an overdrive state as an action, gaining the following benefits for 1 minute:

• Your initiative becomes 20, unless it was higher.
• Your walking speed increases by 30 feet, and you can’t be targeted with opportunity attacks.
• No effect can knock you prone or move you, unless you allow it.
• You are immune to being charmed or stunned.
• When you take the Attack action, you can make one additional attack as part of the action.

After using this feature, you must finish a long rest before you can do so again.

Oath Spells

You gain oath spells at the paladin levels listed.

Channel Divinity

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

Defy Death. When you would make a death saving throw, you can use your Channel Divinity to instead regain a number of hit points equal to your paladin level. If you are prone, you can also stand up.

Pallor of Death. You can use your Channel Divinity as a bonus action to reveal or otherwise emphasize your undead visage. One creature within 10 feet of you that can see you must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, it is frightened of you for 10 minutes or until you or one of your allies does anything to harm it or it witnesses you or an ally of yours do anything to harm a creature it considers a friend or ally. While it is frightened in this way, you have advantage on Charisma (Intimidation) and Wisdom (Insight) checks you make against it.

Aura of the Revenant

Beginning at 7th level, your very presence overcomes death. While you or at least one friendly creature within 10 feet of you is conscious, you and friendly creatures within 10 feet of you can’t die from failing death saving throws.

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

Lifeless

Starting at 15th level, you’re immune to exhaustion, effects that would force you to sleep, and spells that can only target humanoids. You also can survive without air, food, drink, or sleep. To take a long rest, you can read, converse, keep watch, or otherwise relax or perform light activity for 8 hours.

Unkillable

At 20th level, you gain the ability to transform into a truly deathless revenant as an action. For 10 minutes, you can’t die. At the beginning of each of your turns, you regain all of your lost hit points.

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

Revenant Forms

Revenant paladins experience death and unlife, but unlike monsters such as zombies or skeletons, they do not necessarily rot or decay, neither—at least before 15th level—can they live without food and sleep like a lich. Unless your revenants acquire such traits or features from a different source (such as their species), you may find they seem altogether lively. This is, first of all, mechanically practical—but it also can be thematically interesting. Revenants can feel or even be capable of socializing with the living, but their unlife haunts them, whether obviously or invisibly. You might, with your Dungeon Master, consider how your paladin’s unlife manifests aesthetically and socially. The table below provides suggestions for the form your revenant takes, and you can roll on the table, pick from the list, or come up with your own ideas. While your paladin’s revenant form may not have formal mechanical ramifications, they can still influence how you choose to play the character and how other characters respond to them.

Oath of Tomorrow

THE PRESENT IS THEIRS. THE FUTURE, FOR WHICH
I really worked, is mine.

                                                                               —Nikola Tesla

empire. Society itself grows, shaking off yesterday’s norms and tinkering with new ways of existence. Those who swear the oath of tomorrow, known as tomorrowbringers, believe in the virtue of this progress and strive to push the world forward. Be they pure machinists or fiery advocates for social rearrangement, these paladins wield powers from their personal vision of the future as they quest to put an end to the most recent chapter of history.

Chapter Two—Spells

Included in this chapter are new spells. Some are found on the spell lists of a few of the Sacred Oaths found in the preceding chapter; others are present as additional content. The spell descriptions following the spell lists are presented in alphabetical order.

Arresting Smite

2nd-level abjuration

• Casting Time: 1 bonus action
• Range: Self
• Components: V
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
• Classes: Paladin

The next time you hit a creature with a weapon attack before the spell ends, the attack inflicts an additional 1d6 force damage. If the creature attempts to leave the space it is currently occupying, it must make a Charisma saving throw or be unable to do so. A creature can attempt this saving throw once per turn. If it succeeds, the spell ends.

Atlas’s Shrug

1st-level enchantment

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self (30 ft. radius)
• Components: S
• Duration: Instantaneous
• Classes: Sorcerer, wizard

By bearing the earth upon your shoulders, your shrug can shake another’s world. Each creature within range must make a Charisma saving throw. If it fails, it falls prone.

Aura of Burning

4th-level evocation

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self (30 feet)
• Components: V
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
• Classes: Paladin

Ravenous fire emanates from you in a 30-foot radius, delivering judgment upon your enemies. Until the spell ends, the aura moves with you, centered on you. Space within it is hazy and lightly obscured to hostile creatures. Whenever a hostile creature enters the aura for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, it must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 3d10 fire damage on a failed save and half as much on a success.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d10.

Beseech Muse

5th-level divination

• Casting Time: 10 minutes

• Components: V, S, M (a personal work of art)
• Duration: 1 hour
• Classes: Bard

You seek after the inspiration of a great figure of art and creation, such as a celestial patron of music or an ancient craftsman of legend. Contacting this being requires all the creative energy you possess and carries the risk of damaging your will. When you cast this spell, make a DC 15 Charisma saving throw. If you fail, you lose the ability to cast spells, and you automatically fail attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws, and this effect lasts until you finish a long rest. A greater restoration spell also ends this effect.

Cause Fatigue

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 60 feet

You stoke a sense of weariness in one creature you can see within range. The creature must make a Charisma saving throw. If it fails, its current level of exhaustion becomes 1, unless it was higher.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, you can target one additional creature for every slot level above 1st. The creatures must be within 30 feet of each other when you target them.

Destroy Evil and Good

9th-level abjuration

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Touch
• Components: V, S, M (holy water or powdered silver and iron)
• Duration: Instantaneous
• Classes: Cleric

You wield shimmering energy, the power of which is devastating to fey, undead, and creatures originating from beyond the Material Plane. Make a melee spell spell attack against a celestial, elemental, fey, fiend, or undead you can reach. On a hit, if its Challenge Rating is less than your level, it is instantly destroyed. Creatures destroyed this way can't reform on another plane of existence.

If the target's Challenge Rating isn't less than your level, it takes 12d12 + 40 force damage.

Dispossess Authority

9th-level enchantment (ritual)

• Casting Time: 10 minutes

As part of casting the spell, you perform a mystical tune on the brass bugle, preparing the minds of creatures that hear it for either labor or leave. The spell has different effects depending on when during the day you cast it:

Reveille: If you cast the spell in the morning, you play an energizing tune, filling creatures with vim and vigor. Creatures within range wake up. For the duration they are immune to effects that would force them to sleep, and they can move through nonmagical difficult terrain without expending any extra movement.

Retreat: If you cast the spell in the evening, you play a solemn melody, relaxing weary hearts that hear it. For the duration, each creature within range can sleep or otherwise rests without nightmares, is immune to the dream spell, and experiences no negative effects from resting while wearing medium or heavy armor.

If you cast the spell at any other time of day, it fails.

You manifest a circular amphitheater with a 50-foot radius centered on a point within range. The space it takes up must not have any structures or other buildings in it, and the amphitheater remains until the spell ends.

The amphitheater is built of wood, but you otherwise decide all other aspects of its appearance. The interior is enclosed by walls, a floor, and a roof. One set of double doors allows entry, and there are as many windows as you like. Only you and any other creatures you invite into the amphitheater can open the doors, and nothing can physically pass through the walls.

The interior has seating for up to 80 Medium or smaller creatures in a round, surrounding a three-tiered stage in the center. The atmosphere is clean and comfortably cool. Lanterns hang at regular intervals along the outer wall and from the roof.

You and any creatures of your choice have advantage on Charisma checks made while on the stage, and other creatures have disadvantage on Wisdom (Insight) checks they make while inside the amphitheater.

Casting this spell on the same spot everyday for a year makes this effect permanent.

Phantom Parlor

3rd-level illusion (ritual)

• Range: 5 feet
• Components: V, S, M (a red scarf)
• Duration: 8 hours
• Classes: Bard, wizard

You make actual an imaginary array of splendor, manifesting a quasi-real parlor of your design that fills a cube up to 20-feet wide. The space includes blankets and seating for up to 10 Medium creatures, provided by a combination of sofas, armchairs, lounges, or other furnishings of your choice. A hot fire blazes from a hearth on one side, and the illusory space is comfortably protected against outside weather conditions.

Real food eaten within the space is also affected by the illusion and is made especially rich in flavor. The taste and appearance of the food can change, though that doesn’t alter its nutritional value.

The illusion can only affect and be seen by willing creatures of your choice, though real creatures and objects within it are visible as normal. Any element of the illusion that is removed from the space immediately vanishes.

By taking its long rests in this space, a creature affected by the illusion can gain the benefits of a comfortable lifestyle at the price of a poor lifestyle.
