Base Class: Paladin
The Oath of Valour is an affirmation of a destined path, one laid out for you by divine hands. For whatever reason, a god or a group of gods has included you in their machinations. You are not a reluctant hero, but one who fully embraces the idea that great deeds are yours to achieve. You train diligently, sculpting your body and refining your skills so you're ready when the time comes to serve your divine patron.

Channel Divinity
3rd-level Oath of Valour feature
You gain the following two Channel Divinity options. See the Sacred Oath class feature for how Channel Divinity works.
Peerless Athlete. As a bonus action, you can use your Channel Divinity to augment your athleticism. For the next 10 minutes, you have advantage on Strength (Athletics) and Dexterity (Acrobatics) checks; you can carry, push, drag, and lift twice as much weight as normal; and the distance of your long and high jumps increases by 10 feet (this extra distance costs movement as normal).
Sacred Weapon. As an action, you can imbue one weapon that you are holding with positive energy, using your Channel Divinity. For 1 minute, you add your Charisma modifier to attack rolls made with that weapon (with a minimum bonus of +1). The weapon also emits bright light in a 20-foot radius and dim light 20 feet beyond that. If the weapon is not already magical, it becomes magical for the duration.
You can end this effect on your turn as part of any other action. If you are no longer holding or carrying this weapon, or if you fall unconscious, this effect ends.
Mighty Deed
7th-level Oath of Valour feature
Your actions on the battlefield can supernaturally bolster your allies and demoralise your enemies. Whenever you score a critical hit or reduce a creature to 0 hit points, you can choose up to a number of creatures equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1) that you can see within 30 feet of you. Each creature is affected by one of the following effects of your choice.
- The creature gains temporary hit points equal to 1d6 + your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1 temporary hit point).
- The creature must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC or be frightened of you until the start of your next turn.
Once you use this feature you can't use it again until the start of your next turn.
Glorious Defense
15th-level Oath of Valour feature
You can turn defense into a sudden strike. When you or another creature you can see within 10 feet of you is hit by an attack roll, you can use your reaction to grant a bonus to the target’s AC against that attack, potentially causing it to miss. The bonus equals your Charisma modifier (minimum of +1). If the attack misses, you can make one weapon attack against the attacker as part of this reaction, provided the attacker is within your weapon’s range.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Living Legend
20th-level Oath of Valour feature
You can empower yourself with the legends—whether true or exaggerated—of your great deeds. As a bonus action, you gain the following benefits for 1 minute:
- You are blessed with an otherworldly presence, gaining advantage on all Charisma checks.
- Once on each of your turns when you make a weapon attack and miss, you can cause that attack to hit instead.
- If you fail a saving throw, you can use your reaction to reroll it. You must use this new roll.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest, unless you expend a 5th-level spell slot to use it again.
