Oath of Beauty

Oath of Beauty

Paladins that swear the oath of beauty believe that creating and defending beauty is pivotal for the advancement of civilization.  They seek to inspire hope and love within all they meet through their altruistic deeds, and will use their knowledge of artistic mediums such as crafting, acting, singing, and dancing to inspire others to be better versions of themselves.  Their beliefs in the freedoms of one's spirit and desires of love motivate paladins of beauty to ensure such freedoms are not forfeit in the presence of oppression and corruption. Therefore, it is a paladin of beauty's solemn duty to remain vigilant and assertive in the defence of others who exude exceptional inner and outer beauty.  Preserving the light within themselves and others, paladins of beauty utilize restorative magic and defensive abjuration spells to bolster their allies in the fight against the many evils that would seek to corrupt and destroy them.

Channel Divinity

At 3rd level you gain access to the following Channel Divinity options:

Beauty's Judgement: As a bonus action, you designate one creature that you can see within 100ft of you.  For one minute the designated creature becomes illuminated within a cylindrical shaft of light revealing the space it occupies (minimum 5ft cube), this light follows the creature as it moves and dispels magical darkness that it touches.  Once per turn, when you successfully hit the designated creature with a melee attack, you or one conscious ally of your choice that you can see within 60ft of you regain hit points equal to 1d6 + your charisma modifier.  If the ally is unconscious, they instead receive one success on their death saving throw tacker, if this is the third success, they regain consciousness with 1 hit point.  The amount healed by this ability increases to 1d8 at 5th level, 1d10 at 9th level, and 1d12 at 13th level.

Corona of Beauty: As a bonus action, you channel your inner light into a nova of divine energy, creating a 60ft radius burst of bright light centered on you, dispelling magical darkness within the radius.  All hostile creatures within the radius of light that are not behind total cover must make a charisma saving throw.  On a failed save, the creature becomes illuminated: its position is revealed along with the space it occupies (minimum 5ft cube).  The creature then sheds 5ft of bright light until you or one of your allies successfully hit it with an attack or a spell.  On hit, the triggering creature heals a number of hit points equal to 1d4 + their constitution modifier and the illumination fades.

Defender of Beauty

You are a bulwark that safeguards beauty in all of its forms.  At 7th level you and any allies within 10 ft. of you gain resistance to one of the following damage types: necrotic, poison, acid, cold, fire, lightning, thunder, or force as long as you are not incapacitated.  If you pray for one minute, the resistance provided by this aura may be changed to one of the other types listed.  The radius of the aura increases to 30 ft. at 18th level.

Beauty's Embrace

The essence of beauty has enriched your spirit, and so you are resistant to death, and effects that would kill you outright.  At 15th level, if you receive damage that would drop you to 0 hit points, you instead drop to 1 hit point.  If this feature is in effect when you are subjected to an effect that would kill you instantaneously such as the disintegrate spell or the power word kill spell, that effect is instead negated.  You may benefit from this feature once per long rest.

Angel of Beauty

You have achieved the epitome of inner and outer beauty.  At 20th level, as an action you can transform into an Angel of Beauty, this transformation causes you to heal at an unnatural rate, you grow a pair of angelic wings, and your armor glistens with the radiance of the dawn.  You gain the following benefits for 1 minute: 

• At the beginning of each of your turns, you regain hit points equal to your charisma modifier (minimum of 1).
• Once per turn, when you successfully hit an enemy with a melee attack you deal additional radiant damage equal to your paladin level. 
• You have a flying speed of 60ft.
• You emit sunlight in a 60ft radius and dim light for an additional 30ft, dispelling magical darkness within the radius of your sunlight.
• You have advantage maintaining concentration on your paladin spells.

 You may use this ability once per long rest.
