Sacred Oaths

At 3rd level, a Paladin gains the Sacred Oath feature. The following Sacred Oaths are available to Paladins, along with those in the Player's Handbook and official supplements:

Paragon of Beauty

20th-level Oath of Beauty feature
You can use a bonus action on your turn to reveal the fullness of the divine beauty that dwells within your mortal form. For the next minute, you gain the benefits listed below:

• You are immune to the charmed condition.
• When you hit a creature with a weapon attack you deal additional damage equal to your Charisma modifier.
• You can cast charm person as a 1st-level spell as a bonus action on each turn, including the turn that you activate this transformation, without expending a spell slot.

Once you use this feature, you must complete a long rest before you can use it again. When you have no uses left, you can expend a 5th-level spell slot to use this feature again.

Oath of the Blade

Paladins who swear the Oath of the Blade dedicate their lives to becoming masters of combat. Often given the title of Blade Master, these paragons of battle strive for mastery with the armaments of war. Some serve as mercenaries, and others as guardians or bodyguards. However, no matter their station Paladins of the Blade always look to test their martial skills.

Warrior of Legend

20th-level Oath of the Blade feature
You can use a bonus action on your turn to enter a battle trance that enhances your combat skills to legendary levels. For 1 minute, or until you are incapacitated, you can use one Maneuver you know as part of each melee weapon attack you make without expending a Superiority Die. If the Maneuver requires a Superiority Die roll, you use a d6 in its place.

Once you use this feature, you must complete a long rest before you can use it again. When you have no uses left, you can expend a 5th-level spell slot to use this feature again.

Oath of the Corsair

Fearsome warriors of the high seas, Corsair Paladins, swear an Oath to themselves and their crew and will do whatever
it takes to maintain their freedom. Chaotic by nature, these scallywags abhor any laws that aren't their own. While most Paladins follow the law of the land or the tenets of a deity, Corsairs follow only laws they have personally agreed to.
No matter their philosophy, Corsairs are all fiercely loyal.

Spectral Form

7th-level Oath of the Exorcist feature
As a bonus action, you can take on a Spectral Form that lasts until the end of your turn and grants you the benefits below:

• You are resistant to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from non-magical or non-silvered attacks.
• You can move through solid objects and creatures as if they were difficult terrain.
• If you end your movement in an object or creature, you
  are shunted to the nearest unoccupied space and take 1d10 force damage for every 5 feet you traveled.

Once you use this feature you must finish a short or
long rest before you can use it again. When you have no
uses of this feature remaining, you can expend a spell
slot of 2nd-level or higher to use Spectral Form again.

At 18th level, you can use this feature as a bonus action
on each of your turns without expending a resource.

Sacrificial Offering

You can sacrifice your vitality to resist the grasp of death. When you fall to 0 hit points but are not killed outright, you can spend one of your Hit Dice to drop to 1 hit point instead.

Oath of the Forge

Paladins who swear this Sacred Oath are often craftsmen in some sense of the word. Whether they are artisans working over the forge, or activists working to build a better society, all Forge Paladins work toward progress and order in their chosen craft. For some of these Paladins, may even hold this Sacred Oath fulfilled if they achieve perfection in their craft.

Aura of Iron

7th-level Oath of the Forge feature

Once per turn when you take damage, you can use your reaction to halve the amount of damage that you would
take, so long as you are wearing heavy armor.

your Charisma modifier (minimum of once), and you
regain all uses when you finish a short or long rest.

Champion of the Forge

20th-level Oath of the Forge feature
As a bonus action, you can transform into an avatar
of forge and fire. While transformed in this way, you

  all bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.
• You can use your Unyielding Steel reaction on each
  of your turns without expending a use of the feature.
• When you deal fire damage you ignore resistance to
  fire damage and treat fire immunity as resistance.

This transformation lasts for 1 minute, but it ends
if you are incapacitated. Once you use this feature, you
must finish a long rest before you can use it again. When
you have no uses of this feature left, you can expend a spell slot of 5th-level to use this transformation again.

Oath of Inquisition

Truth. All dedicated Paladins who become Inquisitors have the same goal: reveal what is hidden, and purge the planes of those who obscure the truth. Above all, they despise creatures who hide their true form. Fiend, celestial, or fey; it matters not to the Inquisitor Paladin. Any creature, no matter its goals, that uses its power to deceive mortals, has forfeited its life.
