Base Class: Paladin
The Oath of Red Love is a privilege and a great honor to those who serve the Red Queen of Wonderland. With a fiery passion and the greatest love for the Queen, Paladins of this oath will smite the enemies of the Red Queen no matter what realm they may be from. Sometimes known as the Hands of Red, or the Wrath of the Queen, no one loves the Queen more than these paladins who have sworn their lives in service to her.
The red rose is what adorns most of a paladin's armor as it is the symbol of the Red Queen. Their abilities may have a reddish aura with black like vines. Or they may have rose petals flow and fall around them. Some paladins of this oath are pulled from the arena where they used to be criminals or slaves of the Red Queen. Or Perhaps the Queen has made you her favorite person, to whom she believes will be the love of her life and may rule beside her as her King.
Tenets of Red Love
A paladin who takes this oath will have a glowing heart tattoo appear on their body of their choice.
Love the Red Queen. Confess your love to the Red Queen, and she will do the same and take care of you.
Obey the Red Queen. Do as the Queen Commands, for she will gladly reward you for your deeds.
Fight for the Red Queen. With the Queen's love, you fight to the death against the red kingdom's foes.

Channel Divinity
When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Divinity options.
Sacred Weapon. As an action, you can imbue one weapon that you are holding with red 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). The weapon also emits bright light in a 20-foot radius and dim light 20 feet beyond that. If the weapon is not already magical, it becomes magical for the duration.
Red Queen's Wrath. You can use your Channel Divinity to invoke primeval forces to ensnare a foe. As an action, you can cause spectral black vines to spring up and reach for a creature within 10 feet of you that you can see. The creature must succeed on a Strength or Dexterity saving throw (its choice) or be restrained. While restrained by the vines, the creature repeats the saving throw at the end of each of its turns. On a success, it frees itself and the vines vanish.
Red Queen's Love
Starting at 7th level, the love of the Red Queen fills you with such delight that it causes others delight. Creatures within 10 feet of you are automatically charmed by you and their movement speed is reduced by 10 feet, allies gain 10 feet of extra movement.
At 18th level the range and speed are increased by 30ft.
Hammer of Red Love
Starting at 15th level, you have the effect of the Warlock pact boon, Pact of the Blade. Instead, your weapon becomes an enchanted war-hammer styled just like the Red Queen's. Use the stats for a normal war-hammer but with your damage you add an additional 1d6 fire damage to your opponent.
The Jack of Red
At 20th level, you have become the very essence of red and the Red queen giving you two benefits:
- You have an additional pool of health of 75 hp that restores every long rest.
- You are immune to all control or domination spells and are resistant to other kingdom's type of magic.
If a creature attacks you, they have to make a wisdom saving throw or be paralyzed by the beauty of the Red Queen's Jack.
