I came across the Doomguide while researching a Death Cleric and learning about Kelemvor. Through my research, I found multiple variants of the Doomguide and have done my best to compile them into one location and make them a uniformed format that fits as a traditional Paladin. I wanted this construction to be more than simply adding a Doomguide Oath to the traditional Paladin but to rather be a variant of the Paladin class that is compatible with 5e.
To build this class variant, I used the Paladin Class as the base. I then added in as many Doomguide Oaths that I could find, tweaking them ever so slightly so that they fit together nicely. I then went through the original text from the Paladin class and altered it as needed to fit a Doomguide. I removed and tweaked the material as best as I could to make the Doomguide its own class while still following the original template of a paladin. Specifically, I wanted the Doomguide to standout from other Paladins but not be overpowered.
Lastly, I went through the Spells that I found specific to the Doomguide while doing my research as well as the Paladin, Cleric, and any Necromancy Spells listed in the Player’s Handbook (5th Edition). I then scrubbed through the combined list, removing anything that was unfitting or contradicting to the teachings of Kelemvor to create a specified Doomguide Spell list.
Im working on transfering it into the dnd homebrew collections, just takes a bit to converit from a text doc into their subclass builder. Ill share it with you when i have it finished
this is perfect for one of my players, i think the spell progresion should be like the paladins, but otherwise i really liked it, its very undead slaying oriented but its wat it is for so thats ok

Any constructive criticism is welcoming!
got a link to the build?
The very first line is a hyper link but incase it is broken, here is the Google Drive Share Link:

Appreciate any feedback you might have!
Oh, I thought you had built it in DDB
Im working on transfering it into the dnd homebrew collections, just takes a bit to converit from a text doc into their subclass builder. Ill share it with you when i have it finished

This is great! I was looking for a non-standard paladin, and Doomguide is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for sharing!!
Hello,
I sent you a DM as well, but I was wondering if you ever finished transferring it into the homebrew collection?
Thanks!!
