Oath of the Land

An alternate to the Oath of the Ancients, the Oath of the Land emerged as Nature and Industry began to clash.  When the conflict began to take it's toll on those who tried to live their lives in the middle, some prayed for a peaceful resolution.  The Land itself heard their pleas, and empowered a few to enforce peace, by word and sword.  Paladins of the Land can be found wandering the forests talking to fey or druids about poachers, as often as assisting farmers to till their fields.

Channel Divinity

When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Divinity options.

Lands Furor. You can use your Channel Divinity to invoke primeval forces to change the battlefield. As an action, you can cause the land around a number of creatures equal to your charisma modifier, within 30ft feet of you that you can see, to become a swampy trap. The creature must succeed on a Strength or Dexterity saving throw (its choice) or be restrained. While restrained by the mud, the creature repeats the saving throw at the end of each of its turns. On a success, it frees itself and the mud vanishes.  For allies, the other choice is to protect.  A crude stone armor forms around a number of creatures equal to your Charisma modifier within 30ft of you, they receive a +1 to their AC, and resistant to nonmagical bludgeoning, piercing and slashing damage.  Whichever you choose, the effect wears off after 1 minute.

Turn the Unbalanced. You can use your Channel Divinity to utter ancient words that are painful for many creatures to hear. As an action, you present your holy symbol, and each  Aberration, Beast, Construct, Fey, Fiend or Undead within 30 feet of you that can hear you must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature 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.

If the creature’s true form is concealed by an illusion, shapeshifting, or other effect, that form is revealed while it is turned.
