Base Class: Paladin
This oath is for paladins who have a secret to keep, and they are entrusted with the powers to keep the secrets they hold. It becomes the paladins mission to collect secrets for safekeeping. When one of these paladins walks into town, some want to strap him down and torture the secrets out of him, while others want an unbreakable confidant for their own secrets. A paladin who takes this oath has the tenets of secrecy seared on the upper arm.
Duty. Never give up your secrets to anyone, no matter how small or inconsequential the secret is.
Fairness. Don't let prejudice cloud your mission. Be it kings, beggars, or foul lich, everyone has a secret, and it your duty to be their confidant.
Anonymity. No one can know your true face, as to remain faceless one keeps prejudice out of our mission.

Aura of Awareness
By 7th level, your skill in acquiring and keeping secrets for others has led to greater skill in analyzing weaknesses in your enemies, allowing you to constantly aid your allies in battle with helpful tips to bring about the swift end of your enemies. You constantly emanate an aura of pure insight while you are not incapacitated. The aura extends 10 feet from you in every direction, but not through total cover. You and friendly creatures in this aura have advantage on all attack rolls against creatures within the aura.
At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet.
Insightful Counterattack
Starting at 15th level, the increasing intensity of your observation skill gives you greater insight and power over your foe, letting you counterattack with greater efficiency. When a hostile creature makes an attack while your channel divinity is active, you can use your reaction to make a melee weapon attack against that creature if it is within range.
