# Paladin Sacred Oath: Oath of Solidarity Paladins who take the Oath of Solidarity are particularly conducive to fellowships and adventuring parties, as their training and convictions drive them to stand by their allies no matter the personal cost. Clusters of these like-minded paladins have been known to form close knit orders, supporting each other and lending whatever aid they can to settlements around them. On their own, such knights seek out worthy causes, aiding the oppressed against unjust tyranny. Ironically, other holy orders tend to view such warriors as renegades and loose cannons, as the very nature of their oaths compel them to put their friends and family before religious doctrine. ### Tenets of Solidarity * **Honour:** Stand by those who stand by you, even when others tell you not to, and trust that they shall do the same; if they do not, it is a stain upon their honour, not yours. * **Trust:** A promise, once made, is binding. Do not break your trust, save only for the purest and noblest of reasons. * **Sacrifice:** Do not withhold aid from those who need it, even at the cost of yourself. Defend your comrades with your life, and share your supplies where they are most needed. ### Oath Spells | Paladin Level | Spells | |:---:|:-----------:| | 3rd | *Heroism, Shield of Faith* | | 5th | *Aid, Enhance Ability* | | 9th | *Life Transference, Mass Healing Word* | | 13th | *Death Ward, Dimension Door* | | 17th | *Greater Restoration, Skill Empowerment* | ### Channel Divinity *3rd Level Oath of Solidarity Feature* You gain the following 2 channel divinity options. - **Close Ranks:** As a bonus action you rally your allies, calling them to stand with you. A number of friendly creatures that can see or hear you, up to your Charisma modifier, may use their reaction to move towards you, up to their movement speed, without provoking attacks of opportunity. Any ally that ends this movement within 5 feet of you gains temporary hit points equal to your paladin level. - **Heroic Empowerment:** When a friendly creature that you can see hits a creature with a weapon attack, you may use your reaction to roll a number of d6s equal to your proficiency bonus, and add the result to the attack’s damage as radiant damage. Either your ally or their target must be within 30 feet of you to use this reaction. ### Aura of Shielding *7th Level Oath of Solidarity Feature* You radiate with protective magic, shielding your allies from harm. Friendly creatures within 10 feet of you gain the benefits of half cover against all hostile attacks and spells. At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet. ### Strength in Unity *15th Level Oath of Solidarity Feature* When you or an allied creature within 5 feet of you takes damage, you may use your reaction to divide the damage equally between yourself and all friendly creatures within 5 feet of you. ### Burden of Sacrifice *20th Level Oath of Solidarity Feature* When a friendly creature you can see within 60 feet of you is reduced to 0 hit points, you may use your reaction to cause them to drop to 1 hit point instead, and you may expend any amount of hit points from your Lay on Hands pool to heal them; they regain 2 hit points for every 1 point you choose to expend in this way. You then immediately drop to 0 hit points and begin making death saving throws. Once you have used this feature, you may not do so again until you have finished a short or long rest. <div class='footnote'>Design by Lexi Abbey | Madew with GM Binder</div>
