Oath of the False Wyrm

Some kobolds do not merely revere dragons. They believe, with absolute and unwavering conviction, that they are dragons themselves.

These kobolds collect treasure, claim territory, speak of their nonexistent draconic lineage, and insist that every shiny object they encounter is a priceless relic of their ancient hoard.

For most, this is harmless delusion, but for a Paladin who swears the Oath of the False Wyrm, however, that delusion has become something more.

Level 3: Oath of the False Wyrm Spells

The magic of your oath ensures you always have certain spells ready; when you reach a Paladin level specified in the Oath of the False Wyrm table, you thereafter always have the listed spells prepared.

The damage increases to 5d8 at Paladin level 7, 6d8 at level 15, and 8d8 at level 20.
