Base Class: Paladin
The Oath of Beauty is an oath that puts all things pleasurable to the perception of the Paladin above all else. Holy warriors who take this oath are dedicated to preserving the beauty in the world, and eradicating those that would destroy true beauty. Considered to be hedonistic by many, these warriors take great pleasure in the finest of architecture, paintings, sculptures, writings and anything else that they might look upon and experience aesthetic pleasure. Most take great pride in their own personal appearance and strive to become what they consider to be their perfect form.
Channel Divinity
When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Divinity options.
Awe-inspiring Presence. You can use your Channel Divinity to exude an awe-inspiring presence. As an action, you force each creature that can see or hear you within 30 feet of you to make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, a creature becomes charmed by you for 1 minute. The charmed creature can repeat this saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
Turn the Hideous. As an action, you present your holy symbol and speak a prayer censuring the ugliest of creatures, using your Channel Divinity. Each creature that can see or hear you within 30 feet of you must make a Charisma saving throw. If the creature fails its saving throw, it is turned for 1 minute or until it takes damage.
A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it can’t willingly move to a space within 30 feet of you. It also can’t take reactions. For its action, it can use only the Dash action or try to escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If there’s nowhere to move, the creature can use the Dodge action.

You gain 50 temporary hit points that last until the transformation ends.
