Oath of Luminence

Paladins who take the Oath of Luminence vow to be a force of good in the world. They offer their souls to be reborn time and time again to continue their quest to act as shining beacons of compassion and justice for the world. Though they maintain hazy memories of their past lives, they feel their hearts compelled to uphold their vow in all their future lives.

Tenets of Luminence

The Tenets of Luminence push paladins to be a shining light for all they encounter in the world.

Passion. Live a life full of energy and optimism and enthusiasm, and strive inspire this feeling in others.

Compassion. Embrace everyone with a warm heart and reach out to all with a kind hand.

Hope. No matter how bad the situation, you can rise again and overcome it.

Channel Divinity

You gain the follow two Channel Divinity options.

Phoenix Feather. As an action you can create a magical pheonix feather. A creature that is reduced to 0 hit points but is not killed outright while in possession of the feather, instantly recovers hit points equal to your Paladin level + your Charisma modifier. After a creature recovers hit points in this way the feather fades away in a burst of flames.

Ashen Flames. As a reaction when you are reduced to 0 hit points and are not killed outright, you release a burst of flames in a 15ft. radius around you. Each creature in the area must make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC. A creature takes 2d10 fire damage on a failed save or half as much on a success. You then instantly regain 1 hit point.

Oath Spells

You gain oath spells at the paladin levels listed in the Oath of Luminence Spells table. See the Sacred Oath class feature for how oath spells work.
