1. Judgment Declared

When you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you may mark it as Judged (no action required). 

• The Judged creature remains marked for 1 minute, or until it drops to 0 hit points. 

• You may only have one Judged creature at a time. 

While Judged: 

• The creature has disadvantage on attack rolls against creatures other than you. 

• The creature has disadvantage on saving throws against your Paladin spells, smites,  Channel Divinity effects and being “Sentenced.”  

• If it is resistance to radiant or necrotic damage it’s resistance is suppressed while Judged.  

• If the creature is Immune to Radiant or Necrotic damage it becomes Resistant to that damage type instead.  

1. Sentence Pronounced

While a creature is Judged, you may pronounce sentence as a Bonus Action DC 25 Wisdom save. 

• The creature becomes Sentenced for 2 rounds or until the end of your next turn if you make an attack against the creature. 

While Sentenced: 

• The creature’s speed is reduced to 0 

• It cannot teleport, become invisible, or willingly move away from you 

• If the creature deals damage to any creature other than you, it automatically takes 1d12 psychic damage and 1d12 (radiate damage or Necrotic damage).  

You may Sentence a creature once per Judgment. 

III. Execution Enforced 

While a creature is Sentenced, the next time you hit it with a melee weapon attack, you may execute the sentence. 

• The attack deals an additional 6d10 (Radiant damage or Necrotic damage) 

• If the creature is Undead, Fiend, or has Legendary Actions, the additional damage becomes 8d10 (Radiant damage or Necrotic Damage) 

• The creature has disadvantage on any saving throws made as a result of this attack 

Once you Execute a creature, the Judgment immediately ends. 

Judicial Finality 

A creature that has been Executed by this feature: 

• If the Creature has 100 hp or less it immediately drops to 0 hps.  

• If reduced to 0 hit points by the Execution, cannot be resurrected by spells of 6th level or lower without divine intervention 

Usage Limits 

• You may use Doctrine of Final Judgment once per Short or Long Rest 

• Judgment → Sentence → Execution must occur in order 

• If Judgment ends early, the sequence resets
