1st level: Lay on Hands

• Your blessed touch can heal wounds. You have a pool of
• healing power that replenishes when you take a Long
• Rest. With that pool, you can restore a total number of Hit
• Points equal to five times your Paladin level.

• As a Bonus Action, you can touch a creature (which could
• be yourself) and draw power from the pool of healing to
• restore a number of Hit Points to that creature, up to the
• maximum amount remaining in the pool.

• In addition, you can expend 5 Hit Points from the pool of
• healing to remove the Poisoned condition from the
• creature, rather than using those points to restore Hit
• Points.

1st level: Spellcasting

• You have learned to cast spells through prayer,
• meditation, and devotion. See the Player’s Handbook for
• the rules on spellcasting. The information below details
• how you use those rules as a Paladin.
• Cantrips. You know two cantrips of your choice from the
• Divine spell list. Rather than choosing, you may start with
• Guidance and Sacred Flame.
• Whenever you gain a Paladin level, you can replace one of
• your cantrips with another cantrip of your choice from the
• Divine spell list.
• When you reach 10 th level in this class, you learn another
• cantrip of your choice from the Divine spell list, as shown
• in the Cantrips column of the Paladin table.

• Spell Slots. The Paladin table shows how many spell
• slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher.
• To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the
• spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots
• when you finish a Long Rest.

• Prepared Spells of 1st+ Level. You prepare the list of
• spells of 1st level and higher that are available for you to
• cast with this feature. To start, choose two 1st-level spells
• from the Divine spell list. Rather than choosing, you may
• start with Heroism and Searing Smite.
• The number of spells on your list increases as you gain
• Paladin levels, as shown in the Prepared Spells column of
• the Paladin table. Whenever that number increases,
• choose additional spells from the Divine spell list until the
• number of spells on your list matches the number on the
• table. The chosen spells must be of a level for which you
• have spell slots. For example, if you’re a 5th-level Paladin,
• your list of prepared spells can include six Divine spells of
• 1st or 2nd level, in any combination.
• If another Paladin feature gives spells that you always
• have prepared, those spells don’t count against the
• number of spells on the list you prepare with this
• Spellcasting feature, but those spells otherwise follow the
• rules in this feature.
• Changing Your Prepared Spells. Whenever you finish a
• Long Rest, you can replace one spell on your list with
• another Divine spell for which you have spell slots.
• Spellcasting Ability. Charisma is your Spellcasting
• Ability for your Paladin spells.
• Spellcasting Focus. You
• can use a Holy Symbol as a Spellcasting Focus for the
• spells you prepare for this class.

1st level: Paladin Smite

• You have mastered smiting your targets with divine
• energy. You always have certain spells ready; when you
• reach a Paladin level specified in the Smite Spells table,
• you thereafter always have the listed spells prepared.

• In addition, you can cast one of your prepared spells from
• this feature without expending a spell slot, and you must
• finish a Long Rest before you use this benefit again. This
• free casting is cast at the highest available spell slot
• according to Paladin Spellcasting Table with which you
• have Paladin levels.

2nd level: Fighting Style

• You have honed your martial prowess. You gain one of
• the following Fighting Style feats of your choice: Divine
• Warrior, Defense, Dueling, Great Weapon Fighting,
• Interception, or Protection.

2nd level: Weapon Mastery

• Your training with weapons allows you to use the Mastery
• property of two kinds of weapons of your choice with
• which you have proficiency, such as Longswords and
• Javelins.
• Whenever you finish a Long Rest, you can change the
• kinds of weapons you chose. For example, you could
• switch to using the Mastery properties of Halberds and
• Flails.

Faithful Steed: You are Blessed with a Faithful Steed. You always have the Find Steed spell prepared. You can also cast the spell once without expending a spell slot, and you regain the ability to do so when you finish a Long Rest. This free casting is cast at the highest available spell slot according to Paladin Spellcasting Table with which you have Paladin levels. You may only have one Faithful Steed active at any given time.

Divine Health: You are Blessed with Divine Health. You gain +1 hit point per Paladin level, and you have advantage on Constitution and Death Saving Throws.

Divine Protection: You are Blessed with Divine Protection. You gain a +1 bonus to your Armor Class and Saving Throws and gain 2 resistances from the following list: Poison, Necrotic, Psychic, Radiant, Force. You may change these resistances when you finish a Long Rest.

BREAKING YOUR OATH

• A Paladin tries to hold to the highest standards of
• conduct, but even the most dedicated Paladin is fallible.
• Sometimes the right path proves too demanding, and
• sometimes the heat of emotion causes a Paladin to
• transgress their oath.
• A Paladin who has broken a vow typically seeks
• absolution from a priest of the same faith or from
• another Paladin of the same order. The Paladin might
• spend an all-night vigil in prayer as a sign of penitence or
• undertake a fast or similar act of self denial. After a rite of
• confession and forgiveness, the Paladin starts fresh.
• If a Paladin willfully violates their oath and shows no sign
• of repentance, the consequences might be more serious.
• At the DM’s discretion, an impenitent Paladin might be
• forced to take a more appropriate subclass or even to
• abandon the class and adopt another one.

• spells ready; when you reach a Paladin level specified in

6th level: Undying Sentinel

• When you are reduced to 0 Hit Points and not killed
• outright, you can choose to drop to 1 Hit Point instead,
• and you regain a number of Hit Points equal to three

• can’t do so again until you finish a Long Rest.
• Additionally, you suffer none of the drawbacks of old age,
• and you can’t be aged magically.

10th level: Aura of Warding

• Ancient magic lies so heavily upon you that it forms an
• eldritch ward, blunting energy from beyond the Material
• Plane; you and your allies reduce damage taken while in
• your Aura of Protection equal to your Charisma Modifier.
• This damage reduction happens after any resistance or
• immunity is calculated.

14th level: Purity of Nature

• While you or any ally are benefiting from your Aura of
• Protection, they are under the effect of an Absorb
• Elements spell. This effect ends early on another creature
• if they leave your Aura of Protection Radius of effect.

18th level: Elder Champion

• As a Bonus Action, you can imbue your Aura of Protection
• with primal power, granting the following benefits for 1
• minute or until you end them as a Bonus Action:

• Diminish Defiance. Enemies in the aura have
• Disadvantage on saving throws against your spells and
• Channel Divinity options.

• spells ready; when you reach a Paladin level specified in

• Channel Divinity to imbue one melee weapon that you are
• holding with positive energy. For 1 minute, you add your
• Charisma modifier to attack rolls you make with that
• weapon (minimum bonus of +1), and each time you hit
• with it, you cause it to deal its normal damage type or
• Radiant damage.

• The weapon also emits bright light in a 20-foot radius and
• dim light 20 feet beyond that.

• You can end this effect any time on your turn. This effect
• also ends if you aren’t holding or carrying the weapon or
• if you have the Incapacitated condition.

• (Acrobatics) checks. You also have Advantage on Strength
• and Dexterity Saving Throws; you can carry, push, drag,
• and lift twice as much weight as normal; and the distance
• of your long and high jumps increases by 10 feet (this
• extra distance costs movement as normal).

• You may also attempt a Grapple check with the same
• attack as when attacking with weapons, and targets you
• are grappling have disadvantage on the Saving throw to
• avoid the Grapple. You may also Grapple a creature 1 size
• larger than normally allowed. If you are grappling a
• creature with a weapon attack and you drop your weapon
• for any reason, the creature automatically escapes the
• grapple.

6th level: Inspiring Smite

• Immediately after you deal damage to a creature with any
• of your Paladin’s Smite spells, you can imbue a creature of
• your choice other than you within 30 feet of you, with
• Paladin Inspiration. This Inspiration lasts for an hour and
• creature may use it when failing an Attack roll, Saving
• Throw, or Ability check. When they use your Paladin
• Inspiration, they may add 1d4 + the Paladin's Charisma
• modifier to the roll. A Creature may only have 1 Paladin
• Inspiration at any given time.

10th level: Aura of Alacrity

• Your speed increases by 10 feet while your Aura of
• Protection is active. Any Ally who starts or enters your
• Aura of Protection during their turn increases their Speed
• by 10 feet until the end of their next turn.

14th level: Glorious Tactics

• While a creature is within your Aura of Protection, and
• after it has attacked or targeted you or an ally,
• they are under the effect of a Bane Spell (No
• Save). They can recover from the spell by making a
• Charisma Save at the end of their turn, or moving

• doesn't prevent the creature from being affected again if
• they make more attacks against you or your allies while
• residing within your Aura of Protection.
