Oath of the Wardens

The oath of the Wardens is as ancient as the gods themselves, said to be the first paladins these holy soldiers specialized in locating and forging the armor and weapons of the divine across the pantheons.

Warden paladins are typically followers of gods who own legendary weapons such as Thor for his mjolnir or the archangel michael with his legendary sword. Wardens may be ordained to go forth and collect the rarest materials in the planes to make new godly weapons or recover artifacts stolen or lost to time. Most all wardens use magical weapons and armor and are proficient in smith's tools to either create or destroy the magic weapons of the world. The tenets are as follows:

Breed the thought of Creation. the material plane and beyond are ripe with wonder, to be complacent is to take it all for granted. To walk the world and not want to create is against the natural order.

Piety. I am in service to the gods of creation and battle. I am a warrior to be commanded by them.

Preservation. Your comrades are your shield, your sword and your family. You shall always do your utmost to make them fight at their best and without unnecessary risks.

Channel Divinity

When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the use of your Channel Divinity whcih manifests itself in two ways.

Blessed Weapons. As an action, you can imbue up to 5 weapons within 30 feet of you with holy might, using your Channel Divinity. For 1 minute, these weapons add your Charisma modifier to attack rolls made with that weapon (with a minimum bonus of +1). The wielder of the weapons also gain the benefits of the Bless spell If the weapons are not already magical, they becomes magical for the duration.

You can end this effect on your turn as part of any other action. if you fall unconscious, this effect ends.

Consecrate. You can perform an hour long ritual with a weapon you are proficient with making it a holy weapon. This weapon gains a +1 to attack and damage rolls, allows you to attack with your charisma modifier and deals an extra 1D4 radiant damage. You may have only one of these weapons at a time and it is considered a permanent effect until you bless a new one. Your death does not end this effect.
