Oath of the Anchor

Tenants of Anchor Paladin:

Tides of Change: The world is ever changing, molded by nature's hand. You seek to notice the wave, and ride it without reservation.

Untamed: The ocean can be navigated, but it cannot be bent to someone's will and neither can you. You are willing to hear opinions and weigh them, but you are not easily swayed once you've made a decision.

Hard Earned Trust: Weathering the storm requires loyalty built around a reliable crew. Seek out those who would anchor you, and do the same in return once they've proven themselves.

Channel Divinity
When you take this oath at 3rd level you gain the following two Channel Divinity Options:

Blessing of the Depths: You are able to channel divinity to give yourself and your companions a blessing of the deep sea, easing your passage and illuminating the depths. As an action, you can choose a number of creatures you can see within 30 feet of you, up to a number equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of one creature). For 1 hour, you and the chosen creatures have a swim speed equal to their walking speed and gain darkvision out to 60 feet. If any creature affected already has dark vision they instead receive dark depth vision (120 feet darkvision, unaffected by the heavy obscurement of cloudy waters).

Sacred Waters: As a bonus action you bless waters or rain in a 20-foot radius sphere, turning it into holy water for 1 minute. Evil creatures that enter the area or start their turn there take 2d6 radiant damage, and allied creatures who touch the holy water gain the benefits of the aid spell for 1 minute. If no water is present you may instead use an action to channel
divinity, summoning this blessed rain in a 10 feet tall 10 feet radius cylinder centred on yourself, which also lasts for 1 minute.
