Hellsworn Paladin

The character you are about to play is a Hellsworn Paladin, a righteous warrior who has made a pact with the denizens of the Nine Hells to draw infernal power in their pursuit of justice. This character is a force to be reckoned with, radiating an aura of power and determination.

Physically, your character stands tall and strong, bearing the unmistakable markings of their infernal pact. Their skin may possess a faint fiery glow, or perhaps their eyes glow with an otherworldly crimson hue, giving an eerie presence. They carry themselves with purpose, their every movement exuding strength and determination.

Your character's armor reflects their allegiance to the Nine Hells, adorned with intricate designs inspired by the infernal realm. From the crest of their helmet to the symbol etched upon their chest plate, every detail signifies their connection to the laws and order of the Nine Hells. The armor glimmers with a hint of infernal power, a visual testament to the pact they have made.

In battle, your character wields their weapon with precision and skill, channeling the energy of the Nine Hells into their strikes. Flames dance along the edges of their weapon, leaving a trail of searing heat whenever it cuts through the air. Their every attack carries the weight of righteous fury, as they strike both physically and with the power of hellfire.

Though your character embraces the powers of the Nine Hells, their true allegiance lies in upholding order and combating chaos. They exude an aura of unwavering resolve and a determination to bring balance to the world. Their fierce dedication to justice fuels their actions, and they are unafraid to confront the forces of chaos head-on.

As a Hellsworn Paladin, your character walks the thin line between the infernal and the divine, utilizing their powers responsibly while remaining true to the lawful virtues they uphold. They understand the risks and temptations that come with their pact, and their unwavering commitment serves as a beacon of hope and righteousness in the face of darkness.

Prepare to unleash the infernal might of your Hellsworn Paladin and stride forth boldly into the realms of Dungeons and Dragons, ready to mete out justice to those who threaten the balance of the world.

Infernal Oath: Lawbringer

Your Hellsworn oath grants you a set of infernal abilities, marking you as a champion of order within the chaotic multiverse. When you choose this subclass at 3rd level, you gain the following feature:

Hellish Smite: The energy of the Nine Hells flows through your strikes. When you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you can expend a spell slot to deal additional radiant damage. If the target is an enemy of law, it takes additional fire damage instead. The damage increases as you gain levels in this class.

Aura of Infernal Order

Starting at 7th level, your presence exudes an overwhelming aura, stifling chaos. You and friendly creatures within 10 feet of you gain resistance to fire damage, and you have advantage on saving throws against spells and effects that would inflict the Frightened condition.

Hellfire Strike

At 15th level, your weapons become infused with a seething infernal fire. Whenever you use your Divine Smite feature, your weapon's damage is considered magical for the purpose of overcoming resistances. In addition, creatures immune to fire damage still take half damage from your Hellish Smite and Divine Smite features.

Diabolical Resilience

Upon reaching 20th level, your Hellsworn connection grants you unparalleled resilience to the elements. You gain resistance to fire, cold, and poison damage, and you are immune to the poisoned condition. Additionally, as an action, you can unleash a burst of hellish energy, radiating fire damage to all creatures within 30 feet of you. The damage equals your Paladin level plus your Charisma modifier. Once you use this feature, you must finish a long rest before using it again.
