Oath of Creation

The Oath of Creation is sworn by those who have taken a craft as their holy mission.  It is unusual for a potential paladin to swear this oath, but those that do realise that to find the best ingredients and other techniques means venturing out to the wilderness, and seeking lost knowledge and crafts and may require the protection of the divine to survive.  They proudly bear weapons and armor of their own making, to show others their talent, and trusting in them to bear them safely through a hostile world

TENETS OF CREATION

The wording of the oath may change depending on the Paladins craft, but they all share these core tenets

Perfection.  Strive for perfection in all actions.

Improvement. Learn from your mistakes, but don't repeat them.

Invention.  Do not accept that because a thing works, it cannot be done better

Share.  Teach those willing on how things are done, and learn from their ways in return.

Channel Divinity

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

Craft Rune. By conducting an hour long ritual using your Channel Divinity, you can inscribe a Rune into a weapon or armor.  Each rune confers a bonus to the gear depending on the type of rune. As an action, the wearer can consume the rune for a temporary bonus, after which the rune is lost. Each active rune must be different and on a seperate piece of equipment.  Attempting to inscribe an already active rune will cause the previous version to deactivate and crafting onto gear that already holds a rune will deactivate the previous rune. You can have a number of active runes equal to your Charisma modifier, and crafting any more will cause the oldest rune to deactivate.  As a default, your diety imparts the knowledge of the rune below. Others can be discovered as decided by your DM.

    Rune of Protection.  This confers a +1 bonus when scribed onto a Shield or Armor.  Consume Effect. You and all friendly creatures with 10 feet of you have advantage on saving throws until the start of your next turn.

Fire of the Forge. As an action, your weapon is blessed by your deity and infused with holy fire for the next minute using your Channel Divinity.  Successful attacks with this weapon do extra fire damage equal to your Charisma modifier. If the weapon is not already magical, it becomes magical for the duration.

You can end this effect on your turn as part of any other action.  If you are no longer holding or carrying this weapon, or if you fall unconscious, this effect ends.
