Spiritwalkers are paladins who uphold the balance between the lands of the dead and living. Most spiritwalkers end up as guardians of the tribal communities they grew up in. A spiritwalker functions as a shaman of sorts, honoring their tribes totem creatures, and as intermediaries between ancestral spirits and the material plane. Occasionally, a spiritwalker will feel the need to journey, embarking on adventures to renew their inner strength.

Channel Divinity

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

Restless Spirit Slayer. You can use your Channel Divinity to perform a special ritual passed down by your ancestors to fortify your weapons against harmful spirits. As a bonus action, you grant yourself advantage on weapon attack rolls against fiends and undead for the next minute.

Journey with the Dead. You can use your Channel Divinity to journey into the spirit realm. As a bonus action to become ethereal for a number of rounds equal to your paladin level. While on the Ethereal Plane, you can see and hear the plane you originated from, which is cast in shades of gray, and you can't see anything there more than 60 feet away. You can only affect and be affected by other creatures on the Ethereal Plane. Creatures that aren't there can't perceive you or interact with you, unless they have the ability to do so. You have fly speed equal to your walking speed and can move through solid objects, though they count as difficult terrain when you do so. You may end this effect whenever you choose on your turn, no action required. If this effect end while you are inside an object or creature, you are immediately shunted to the nearest unoccupied space that you can occupy and take force damage equal to twice the number of feet you are moved.
