Oath of Memento Mori

Tenets of Memento Mori

Though the exact words and strictures of the Oath of Memento Mori vary, paladins of this oath share these tenets.

Balance. When you know of a disturbance in nature or order, you must takes steps to correct the problem.
Cycle of Life and Death. You will not allow the resurrection of those who have fallen by natural means(i.e. old age) or any unnatural extension of life(i.e. undead, becoming immortal), even if they are family, friend, or loved one as everyone must die eventually.

Channel Divinity

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

Inevitability of Death - As an action, you may call upon death, preventing certain creatures from forestalling their death. Creatures of your choice within 60 feet of you must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or may not be healed or revived/resurrected for 1 hour. 

Life and Death - As an action, you may transfer life between creatures. Choose a creature that you can see within 30 feet of you. That creature must make a Constitution saving throw or can choose to automatically fail. If the creature fails its saving throw, it takes 2d6 Necrotic damage or half as much on a success. Choose any other creature that you can see within 30 feet of you to regain hit points equal to the Necrotic damage dealt. This damage increases by 1d6 when you reach 5th level (3d6), 11th level (4d6), and 17th level (5d6).

At 18th level, the range increases to 30 feet and those creatures lose any immunities to Necrotic damage as well.

 

Time of Death

At 15th level, you can see the remaining natural lifespan of any creature that you can see within 30 feet of you. This lifespan appears above the creature's head and is shown in years:day:hours.

Death Approaches

Starting from 15th level, you can choose to have the damage types of your weapon attacks and spells deal Necrotic damage instead.

Memento Mori

At 20th level, as an action, you wear the cloak of death, reminding your enemies of their inevitable demise and demoralizing them. All creature except certain creatures that you exclude within 30 feet of you have disadvantage on all rolls. 

This aura lasts for 1 minute and once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
