Oath of Heavenly Greed

The Oath of Heavenly Greed beckons to the Paladins who worship not the God themselves, but the strength they hold, and are determined to gain that level of strength for themselves. Those who take up this oath are silently shunned by those who take up more 'righteous" oaths, they do maintain a respect for you, as you do no harm to the weak, and have boundaries and limits. You have proven to value might, power, and raw strength above all else except your morals, to which you strictly keep. Being strong is very important to those who follow this oath, but go too far to obtain it, and you will pay the price. You are known as the most to be one of the most barbaric of all the knights, commonly compared to the paladins who take up the Oath of Vengeance.

Tenets of Heavenly Greed 

The Tenets Heavenly Greed are based around the respect of strength, the respect of desire, and the respect of talent. Their principles are based on strength, respect, and morals. All who take upon these tenets desire strength as well, there are two things that separate the ones who will persevere, and the ones who will grovel. This being your drive for strength and power, and your ability to sate your lust for power when it comes to violating your morals. The primordial god of strength and greed beckons to those who covet his might, and provides them with power and might, once they have proven themselves worth and deserving.

The Right of Respect. Those who have obtained greater might than you will be treated with respect and admiration.

The Right of the Weak. It is the right of the weak to covet the might of the strong, none shall obstruct that right and not face consequences.

The Right of the Strong.  It is the right of the strong to have what they want, and to have the weak who covet their strength grovel beneath them.

The Right of Challenge.  It is the right of the ones who have grown, to challenge the strong for their might. If issued a challenge of strength, accept it with open arms, and don't pull a single punch.

The Right of Morals. It is the right of every creature to uphold their morals at all costs. If those morals are not upheld, may those who fail to do so be punished.

 

Channel Divinity

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

Strength of God. As an action, you can take some of your god's energy, using your Channel Divinity. For 5 rounds, all weapon attacks you make do +2 damage, you have a +1 to your AC, and any weapon you wield is considered magical for the sake of overcoming resistance.

Challenge the Strong. As an action, you show your strength to an opponent with a higher number of Hit Points, issuing a challenge to their power. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the target is focused on you until the end of the battle, and can only attack you. On a successful save, you are both engaged into this fight, and may only attack each other until the effect ends.

This effect is ended when either of you are reduced to 0 hit points, or knocked unconscious.

Once the battle is over, this bonus disappears, returning you to your previous power. Once you use this feature, you will not be able to use it again until you take a long rest.
