Sacred Oath

At 3rd level, a paladin gains the Sacred Oath feature.


The following option is available to paladins along with
those found in the Player’s Handbook.

Oath of Domination
Paladins who take the oath of domination are driven
by their raw emotions such as hate, attachment, anger,
love, and greed. They seek freedom from the shackles
of society and oppression upon them. With a single-
minded focus to dominate their enemies and further
their own passions, they learn darker magic and force
who stand against them to bend to their victory. Those
that take this oath aren’t always necessarily evil, as
often the attachment to one’s loved ones and the desire
to protect them at any cost can let them go down this
path in life.

Tenets of Domination
A paladin who seeks to dominate recites this oath to
themselves often, to remind themselves of what they
fight for and why they sought this path in the first place.

Passion. Peace is a lie, let go of your inhibitions and


embrace your passions. Turn your fear into anger and
find your strength.
Power. Through strength alone will you have power,
to stand up against any who would dare stand against
you. Turn your anger into hate, and reject pain.
Victory. Break your chains through victory, and free
yourself from the limitations put on you. Turn your hate
into suffering, and destroy weakness.

Oath Spells
You gain oath spells at the paladin levels listed.

Sustain Life
Staring at 15th level, you can keep yourself conscious and
cling to life when you would normally be in the process of
dying. Having 0 hit points doesn’t knock you unconscious.
You still must make death saving throws, and you suffer
the normal effects of taking damage while at 0 hit points.
However, you can still die by failing death saving throws.

Dark Avatar
Upon reaching 20th level, you have become a lord of
darkness. As an action, you can shroud yourself with the
dark energy that surrounds you. For the next minute, you
gain the benefits listed below:

• You gain resistance to all damage.


• Once on each of your turns, you can deal extra necrotic
or radiant damage to one target when you damage it
with an attack or a spell. This extra damage equals your
paladin level.
• Whenever you deal necrotic or radiant damage to a
creature, you ignore the target’s resistance to those
types. If they are immune to those types, treat them as
if they have resistance instead.
• You hover into the sky and gain a flying speed of 30 feet.

Once you use this feature, you must finish a long rest
before you can use it again, unless you spend a spell slot
of 5th-level or higher to use it an additional time
