Oath of the Frontier

Paladins of the Oath of the Frontier value freedom above all else. The freedom that comes with the vast fields they have come to love has shaped their ideas of what life should be about. There is no greater injustice than someone who is forced to work for others and give up their own personal freedoms for someone else. Thusly, paladins of the Oath of the Frontier fight not for a god or a deity, but for their values and the rights of others. 

Evil to a paladin of the Oath of the Frontier does not necessarily mean an evil monster such as a banshee or a dragon, but any creature, be they fiend or human, who takes rights away from another. This goes for kings, queens, and dictators who use their position to force others to kneel to them, or beasts who take lives just for fun. 

Likewise, good to a paladin of the Oath of the Frontier does not necessarily mean a priest who heals the sick or a knight who slays monsters. Instead, good is anyone who will fight for the freedoms of others, and a paladin of the Oath of the Frontier will do whatever they can to aid them in that fight. 

Standoff

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

Quickdraw: For one minute after activating this skill, whenever an enemy makes a melee attack against you, you can make a DEX saving throw. On success, you can make an unarmed strike against them before their attack hits you.

Taunt: Choose one enemy within a 30 ft radius of you that can understand a language you speak. Let loose a slurry of insults to really piss it off. The creature must make a WIS saving throw. On fail, this creature is taunted for one minute.

A taunted creature must use all of its turns to attack you. If you are out of the range of the creature's attacks, it must use its actions to move toward you.
