Oath of Hearth

Tenets of the Hearth

The tenets of the Oath of the Hearth are linked directly to the once-nourishing city of the oath’s origin. The culture was vibrant and open, and thrived under the tropical sun in the Elsath Jungle. They were supportive of children’s imagination and new ideas, and as a community would rush to foster good creativity. With new ideas came progress and prosperity, and with each new generation, the future always looked brighter. The core principles of this oath are devoted to supporting the weak, developing community, and destroying the evils that would seek to harm them.

Shield the Embers. Protect those that can’t defend themselves. Every ember is a fount of possibility and strength.

Feed the Fire. Keep the Fires of passion burning. New ideas light the way to progress and salvation.

Share the Warmth. Offer guidance and kindness to those that need it. Respite and rest are always free to give.

Burn Away Evil. Turn those that would harm the innocent or douse the peoples’ "ames to ash.

Oath Spells

You gain oath spells at the paladin levels listed in the Oath of Hearth Spells table. See the Sacred Oath class feature for how oath spells work.

Oath of Hearth Spells

Channel Divinity

When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Divinity options. See the Sacred Oath class feature for how Channel Divinity works.

Burning Weapon. As a bonus action, you can ignite one weapon that you’re holding with fiery energy using your Channel Divinity. For 1 minute, you deal extra fire damage with that weapon equal to your Charisma modifier (with a minimum bonus of +1). The weapon also emits bright light in a 20-foot radius and dim light 20 feet beyond that. If the weapon is not already magical, it becomes magical for the duration.

You can end this effect on your turn (no action required). If you are no longer holding or carrying this weapon, or if you fall unconscious, this effect ends.

Warming Respite. Your Channel Divinity can enhance the healing powers of a good rest. When you or any friendly creatures who can see you finish a short rest, you can use your Channel Divinity to grant each of those creatures a number of temporary hit points equal to your paladin level.

Aura of Warmth

Starting at 7th level, you and friendly creatures within 10 feet of you have resistance to cold and fire damage while you are conscious.

At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet.

Insulating Ward

Beginning at 15th level, whenever you expend a spell slot, you and friendly creatures within your Aura of Warmth gain a number of temporary hit points equal to the spell slot’s level + your Charisma modifier.

Burning Spirit

At 20th level, as an action, you can magically ignite yourself to embody your fiery soul for 1 minute. These flames are harmless to you and cast a bright light in a 40-foot radius and dim light for an additional 40 feet. The flames invigorate you, giving you 10 temporary hit points at the start of each of your turns. While in this form, you become more lithe and fluid in your movements, increasing your speed by 10 feet and allowing you to move through and enter a hostile creature’s space and stop there.

Hostile creatures are hurt by these flames as punishment for their transgressions. A hostile creature takes fire damage equal to twice your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1) whenever it touches you, hits you with a melee attack, or whenever you enter its space for the first time on your turn.

Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
