Base Class: Paladin
The Oath of the One is bound by the noblest ideal: love. They are the bastions of courtly love, defending the honor of their so-called "One" and spreading the ennobling power of love to the lonely masses. These paladins pride themselves in being both lovers and fighters, and they almost always measure their devotion by the will of their beloved One.
Though the exact words and strictures of the Oath of the One vary, paladins of this oath share these tenets.
Exaltation of the Beloved. Your One is your goddess, treat them as such.
Love for Love's Sake. Cherish the presence of love in every capacity. The pursuit of holy love is never wrong.
Ennobling Love. Teach others the enlightenment of love, and sew its seeds in those whose lives are barren.
Unfulfilled Desires. Cast off the thoughts that betray your beloved.
Channel Divinity
When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Divinity options.
Lover's Embrace. You can use your Channel Divinity to surround yourself in the loving energy of your One. For 1 minute, you may add your CHA modifier to your AC (with a minimum bonus of +1). In addition, your Lay on Hands heals bonus hit points equal to your CHA modifier.
Turn the Unloving. As an action, you can present your holy symbol and utter a passionate oath that is painful to those who cannot love. Each aberration or construct within 30 feet of you must make a WIS saving throw. If the creature fails its saving throw, it 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.

Aura of Passion
Starting at 7th level, you and friendly creatures within 10 feet of you heal an extra hit die of hit points when targeted by a healing spell or magical effect.
At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet.
Loving Devotion
Beginning at 15th level, you cannot be charmed or compelled act in a manner contrary to what your beloved asks of you.
True Love's Dowry
At 20th level, you have finally received recognition from your beloved, replacing your holy symbol with a dowry (such as a necklace or handkerchief). This dowry functions like a holy symbol as it pertains to your Channel Divinity.
As an action, you may present your dowry, projecting the presence of your beloved. Each creature in a 30-foot cube of you must succeed on a CHA saving throw or be charmed. This charm ends if they are incapacitated, killed, or you take an action to remove the projection.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
