Base Class: Paladin
This subclass makes you a master at using fear to your advantage. Your Aura of Death is the main focal point of this subclass. It invokes fear, allows more damage as you level up and it ignores creatures defenses as well once you get higher leveled. This class is inspired by mixing Rogue and Paladin together along with some other personal ideas.
Channel Divinity
When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Divinity options.
Dark Weapon. As an action, you can imbue one weapon that you are holding with dark energy, using your Channel Divinity. For 1 minute, you add your Charisma modifier to attack rolls made with that weapon (with a minimum bonus of +1).
The weapon is also granted an element from the following choosing: Necrotic, Poison or Acid and deals 1D8 Damage of that element. If the weapon is not already magical, it becomes magical for the duration.
You can end this effect on your turn as part of any other action. If you are no longer holding or carrying this weapon, or if you fall unconscious, this effect ends.
Can't Be Seen. As a Bonus Action, you can cast the spell Invisibility without using a Spell Slot.
