Oath of the Arcane

TENETS OF THE ARCANE

Discovery. Paladins of the Arcane devote themselves to learning about the world beyond their immediate sight. 

Innovation. Arcane Paladins use their discoveries to channel their divine power into new uses to protect what they hold dear and destroy what they view as wicked.

Wonder. Arcane Paladins must always carry with them a sense of whimsy and an openness to the weirdness of the world.

Power. The outer planes are incredibly powerful, and Paladins of the Oath of the Arcane do not limit themselves to merely the divine planes. 

Channel Divinity

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

Arcane Smites. When you use your Divine Smite feature, you may change the damage type from radiant to fire, cold, lightning, thunder, force, or psychic. When you do, it does 1d8 extra damage of that type. 

Arcane Discovery. As an action, may choose a spell from the Wizard spell list with a casting time of 1 action and cast it as part of this action. You must still expend a spell slot of the appropriate level to cast that spell. This spell counts as a Paladin spell for you. 

Oath Spells

You gain oath spells at the paladin levels listed.
