Base Class: Paladin
The Hugging Paladin is the stupidest Paladin to exist. Using an ever growing Hug attack, the Hugging Paladin is the first one on the frontlines, hugging enemies till their death. Not only that, but supporting a wide list of auras that can help his allies in the face of combat as long as they stand by his side. And finally, if the Paladin survives long enough because I ran out of ideas, his body becomes the Apex hugging force, becoming quicker, stronger, and slightly more resiliant to damage. Yes, this is stupid. Yes, this is dumb. But this, is a meme subclass.
Emotionful Prowess
At Level 3, you gain Emotionful Prowess. This empowers the Paladin with not only a more powerful grapple, but also a sense of emotions.
Hug Attack:
You hug a target, dealing 1d6 bludgeoning damage and grapple them in the process if they fail the Strength Saving throw.
Gets an extra die at 5th, 7th, 11th, 13th, 15th, and 17th level. The die increases from d6 to d8 at level 9 and from d8 to d10 at 19th level.
Feeling Aura:
You emit an 10 ft aura of feelings. When a creature enters the area, you can detect if they are sad or not.
Blessed Hugging
At 7th level, the Hugging Paladin can choose between 3 auras to help both himself or his allies.
You expected some stupid text, didn't you? Nah, pretty serious stuff when you need to choose your flavor of kindness.
A choice between 3 Auras:
Aura of Hug
Aura of Purity
Aura of Muckle
You also gain a bunch of new spells, and your Unarmed Strikes and Hugs are considered Magical when attacking creatures with immunity to bludgeoning.
Aura of Hugging
The Hugging Paladin, so wise in the ways of hugging, imbudes his allies with the powerful fist bumps. To the face. At high velocity.
Allies in range gain an extra d4 to their unarmed attack. 5ft range around Paladin.
This die increases to a d8 at 18th level.
Aura of Muckling
The Paladin's might of hugging and vigor of doing so imbudes his allies with a similar springy step.
Allies in a 5ft range can move 15 more ft on top of their original movement, but MUST make it to an enemy and make an unarmed attack on said enemy. This attack counts as their action. If they cannot make it to an enemy then they do not have the extra movement.
The movement increases to 30ft at lvl 18.
Aura of Purity
The pure joy and kindness that is exerting from this Paladin is so much and so mindbogling that enemies can't stop but think "How did this pure lad make it this far without dying?" leaving the Paladin and his allies perfect time to hurt them.
In a 10ft radius around the Hugging Paladin, all enemies have their AC reduced by 1 until they step out of the aura. They regain this reduction when they step back into the Aura's range.
Improved (Questionable) Physics
Through diligent servace to his god, and pure stupididy he went through, the Hugging Paladin is blessed with improved physical ability. Wether his body adapted to his actions or if this is a boon from his god, no one knows for sure.
+10 ft Movement, +1 in Constitution, + 1 in Strength,
Hugging Maestro
With yourself empowered by the pure energies of kindness, hugs, and blessing from your god, hugging has became a song for the Hugging Paladin. Dancing away to the tunes of battle and their own insanity, the Paladin moves through the battlefield like a dancing phantom, jamming to the beat of swords and armor. Their improved physical abilities make this Paladin a terror to face on the battlefield.
The Hugging Paladin gains even more movement and the ability to use the Dash action as a bonus action.
+10 ft Movement and Dash Bonus action
