Oath of War

Tenets of War

The tenets of the Oath of War are ancient in their own right. Take everything and give nothing back. War can be hell, but not for you. You're at home on the battlefield and you not only survive, but excel.

• Drive Them Before You: Your enemies will fear you, or they will learn to.
• Blood and Thunder: Your comrades in arms love seeing you on the battlefield, you alone can turn the tide and save their lives.
• Preserve the Innocent: Even though you are a master of war and bringer of battle. War must always be the last option, never bring it without cause.
• No Mercy for the Wicked: Ordinary foes might win my mercy, but my sworn enemies do not.

Channel Divinity
