Tenets of the Forge

The tenets of the Oath of the Forge emphasize rendering aid and fostering strength amongst the small, the weak, or the oppressed.

Warm the Furnace. Offer relief to the suffering by standing among them and sharing in their burdens. Stoke the heat of courage through compassion and perseverance, and commit yourself completely to defending the weak and the defenseless.

Form the Shape. Share the knowledge of the hammer and the anvil with those around you so that they may forge their own path. Strengthen bonds among the weak so that they become mighty in their own works.

Temper the Steel. The working of any craft is an act of worship, for in every weaver's fingers or cooper's tongs lie the echo of primordial creation heard once again in the material world. Take pride in your work and submit to a lifetime of patient growth in your skill with tools.

Quench the Fire. Glory in creation by preserving it wherever possible. Extinguish the fire of unnecessary conflict by avoiding violence unless all other options have been exhausted, and when swords must be made from ploughshares, ensure they are not long kept.

Channel Divinity

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

Blessed Alloy. At the beginning of a short or long rest, you may conduct a ritual to create a nonmagical item worth up to 150 gold which contains at least some metal. The ritual lasts one hour, and its end the item appears in an unoccupied space within 5 feet. You must provide metals and other raw materials of a sum value equal to that of the object you seek to create. Coins cannot serve as raw material unless the object is made from the same metal as the coins.

The appearance of the object is determined by you. You can precisely duplicate a non-magical object you possess at the beginning of the ritual.

Hammer Strike. As an action, you call upon the hammer of the forge divine to reshape the world and drive back your enemies. Each creature in a 20 foot cube centered in front of you must make a Strength saving throw. A creature takes d10 + your Charisma modifier bludgeoning damage and is pushed back 20 feet and knocked prone on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The damage increases to 2d10 at 7th level and 3d10 at 15th level.

Furthermore, when allies affected by your aura roll a 1 on a damage die for an attack made with a weapon, they can reroll the die While within your aura, your allies' mundane weapons and armor count as magical for the purposes of determining resistance.

• You have resistance to non-magical damage and immunity to fire damage.
• All allies within 30 feet gain +2 to attack rolls and deal an additional 2d4 radiant damage when they hit.
• Any enemy within 30 feet at the start of your turn is automatically affected by Heat Metal as if it had been cast at 3rd level.
