Oath of the Sand Grain

Paladins of this oath understand that they are one small creature in the vastness of the universe, and seek to make the most of their tiny existences. They find power in the small joys and the fleeting mortal moments that define what it means to be alive.  

Tenets of the Grain

Find kindness. There are moments of simple joy in even the cruelest of times, enjoy them. Do not reject the good in the world when faced with pain. Never lose yourself to revenge or petty grudges.

Bring happiness. Existence is brief, seek to improve the lives of those around you. Do not bring darkness upon good people. Take any opportunity to soften the cruel world through your actions.

Live freely. Your life is yours and yours alone. Do not compromise your morals to appease an audience or higher power. Seek to free others from servitude, stand up for the meek.

This too shall pass. Nothing truly lasts, you must take each moment as it is. Do not cling to the past, to do so is to waste the precious life you have left.

 

Channel Divinity

 3rd Level Oath of the Sand Grain feature 

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

Silver Lining. As a reaction to being damaged by a creature within 60 feet that you can see, you can inflict damage in return with your Channel Divinity. The creature must make a Dexterity saving throw. It takes 3d8 damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The attack may manifest as one of three options: a glittering wave of stars and gemstones (radiant damage), a sudden growth of flowers and thorny vines (piercing damage), or a blaring orchestra of beautiful music (thunder damage).

Stronger Together.  As a bonus action, you can bolster injured creatures with your Channel Divinity. Each creature of your choice that can hear you within 30 feet of you regains hit points equal to 1d6 + your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1) if it has no more than half of its hit points.

 

 

Maverick Mind

7th and 18th Level Oath of the Sand Grain feature

Starting at 7th level, you and friendly creatures within 15 feet of you cannot be charmed or have their mind magically controlled while you are conscious. Additionally, you can naturally detect the presence of charm and control magic within this range.

At 18th level, the range increases to 40 feet.

 

Extreme Persistence

15th Level Oath of the Sand Grain feature

By level 15, your intense devotion to making the most out of your short existence has given you the strength to survive the worst. You cannot experience instant death as a result of extreme damage or spells that bypass saving throws, and only require two successful death saves to stablilize.

Mortal Universe

20th Level Oath of the Sand Grain feature

At 20th level, your mind expands like the universe itself. You have become aware of each tiny speck, each unobserved twitch of the hand or blink of the eye. This grants you two benefits:

Omnipotence. You possess truesight up to 160 feet, have a +5 to initiative rolls, and you (or any allies within 40 feet) cannot be taken by surprise.

Shifting Sands. Nothing lasts, you cannot be affected by a condition for longer than one round.

Oath Spells

You gain oath spells at the paladin levels listed.
