The Oath of Zeal is taken by paladins consumed by hatred of a specific group or ideology. Zealots, as these paladins are sometimes called, pursue an inquisition against their enemies at all costs. They abandon compassion and honor as impediments to the more important work of ridding the world of those they deem dangerous or heretical.

Channel Divinity

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

Mark of the Heretic. You can use your Channel Divinity to mark a creature as a heretic. As a bonus action, choose a creature you can see within 30 feet and a weeping symbol appears on it. For the next minute, your weapon attacks against the chosen creature score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20, and each time the creature’s turn starts you can use your reaction to make one weapon attack against it 

Inquisitor's Eye. You can use your Channel Divinity to open your senses to hidden signs of corruption and malfeasance. As a bonus action, you grant yourself advantage on Investigation, Insight, and Perception ability checks for the next 10 minutes. During this time, you can’t be surprised.

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