Oath of Suppression (2014)

Constantly assailed by arcane defilement are the souls of mortals. Foul creatures from external planes and profane artifacts imbued with perverse magic are in constant conflict over the souls of mortals. However, a clandestine order of knights known as Sin Eaters seek to assist those whose lives are ravaged by the weave. Some Sin Eaters are sorcerers who wish to have nothing to do with their sorcerous origin, some have been turned into weapons of mass destruction against their will and wish to preserve their dignity, however most Sin Eaters get their name from their original purpose: to physically consume magical artifacts and become walking prisons for their corrupting power.

Paladins of the Oath of Suppression have something inside of them they deem a curse, and have taken up their oath to gain control of it. Many take up the oath to protect innocent people from powerful magics, but some take it to regain control of their lives.

Level 3: Channel Divinity

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

Deflect Magic. Your body is a channel for arcane energy. As a reaction to being hit with a spell attack roll or failing a saving throw, you may use your Channel Divinity to negate all effects of the spell and choose a new target within the spell's initial range and area. The spell is cats using your spell save DC and/or spell attack bonus.

Siphon Vestige. As a bonus action, you may use your Channel Divinity imbue a weapon you are holding with the impulsive magic that lies within you. For 1 minute, the weapon becomes magical if it was not already, deals an additional 1d4 force damage on a hit, and spellcasters have disadvantage on concentration checks made when hit with it.
