Oath of the Dreamer

The Oath of the Dreamer is an old and enigmatic vow, one sworn to protect the slumbering minds of their charges. Sometimes called dream knights or glamour knights, paladins who swear this oath cast their lot with neither the side of the light or the darkness, choosing instead to focus upon the dreams of themselves and their charges and allies. While these paladins might be servants to gods of dreams, sleep, or night, other paladins of the Oath of the Dreamer are champions of the Feywild or errant knights of the Astral Sea.

Oath of the Dreamer Spells

Channel Divinity

3rd-level Oath of the Dreamer feature

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

Guardianship of Dreamers. When you begin a short or long rest, you can use your Channel Divinity to encapsulate a 30ft radius sphere of space with dream energy around and above you. While you and any creatures you designate are within the area, you appear invisible to all creatures from without and cannot be targeted by any divination magic or perceived through magical scrying sensors. These effects end if you leave the area or if you finish your short or long rest.

Induced Nightmares. As an action you can force a creature that you can see within 60ft of you to make a Wisdom saving throw. A creature automatically fails if it’s CR rating or level is lower than half your paladin level. On a failed save, the creature falls unconscious and is plagued by nightmares. While the creature is unconscious it takes psychic damage equal to your charisma modifier at the beginning of each of its turns. The creature is unconscious for one minute or until the sleeper takes damage other than psychic or someone uses an action to shake or slap the sleeper awake.

Undead, Constructs, and creatures immune to being charmed aren’t affected by this Channel Divinity.

Aura of Clarity

7th-level Oath of the Dreamer feature

You and friendly creatures within 10 feet of you have resistance to psychic damage and advantage on saving throws against charm effects.

At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet.

You have mastered the protective powers of the realm of dreams. You gain immunity to the charmed condition and when a creature attempts to invade your mind, such as through telepathy or with spells like Detect Thoughts, Dream, or Phantasmal Force, they must make a Charisma saving throw. On a failed save, the creature either becomes charmed or frightened of you (your choice) for one minute and the triggering spell or ability fails to effect you.

Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
