Oath of Valor

The Oath of Valor binds a paladin to the Valorous ideals of Honor and Courage. Sometimes called Valkyries, Battlemaidens, or holy warriors, these paladins meet the ideal of fierce fighter acting with honor in pursuit of Victory. They are known for carrying fallen warriors to Valhalla, but not all warrior get to live in eternal glory, the souls of the unworthy are sent to Helheim.

Courage. Never fear to act, though caution is wise.

Victory in death. Don't fear death, fight to the end.

Channel Divinity

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

Holy Arsenal. As an action, you can call a weapon that you own to your hand and imbue it with positive energy, using your Channel Divinity. For 1 minute, you add your Charisma modifier to attack rolls made with that weapon (with a minimum bonus of +1). You can add 1d4 radiant damage to your attack rolls with the weapon. The weapon also emits bright light in a 20-foot radius and dim light 20 feet beyond that. If thrown or dropped you can use a bonus action to call the weapon back to your hand. You can end this effect on your turn as part of any other action or if you fall unconscious, this effect ends.
