Base Class: Paladin
The Oath of Shadow calls to paladins who are patient, cunning and willing to strike from the shadow. They seek no glory, no honor. Just getting the job done, whatever it takes.
They don't care how the job is done, by swinging with swords, shooting with spells, daggers between the ribcage or poison during sleep. Results is what matters.
TENETS OF SHADOW
A paladin who takes this oath has the tenets of shadow memorize.
Results Matters. Glory and honour are the path of fools. Victory by any means necessary.
Patience is King. Never strike too early or too late. Find the opportunity, create the opportunity for a single devastating effect.
Stealth Above All. You shall be one with the shadow, in the cover of darkness you strike. Darkness is your ally.
Channel Divinity
When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Divinity options.
Shadow Armor - As an action, you enveloped yourself with shadow and darkness. Your AC increase equal to your Charisma Modifier (minimum 1) for 1 minute.
Shadow Bind - As a bonus action, you can bind a creature's shadow and it must make a WIS saving throw. On failure, it is paralyzed. The creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
