Oath of the Keeper

The Oath of the Keeper is one of protection and care. Referred to as the Guardians or Mortal Angels they swear to keep watchful eyes on all those around them, being a shield on the backs of those that they serve to protect from the dangers of this world. Paladins that take this oath do so to protect all mortal peoples from the chaotic realm energies that flow around them, reflecting all dangers back to the senders. They usually adorn their armor with the symbol of Helm, mountains, walls, or shields.

Channel Divinity

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

-Mortals Shield. You can use your channel divinity to redirect an attack away from those you swore to protect. Whenever a friendly creature that is within 10 feet of you is targeted by an attack you may use your reaction to intercept the attack. If you do so then you move up to 5 feet closer to the targeted ally and become the new target for the attack.

-Guardians Reflection. You can use your channel divinity to absorb a blow and use the stored energy to boost your own. Whenever you become the target of an attack you can use your reaction to absorb the hit. If you do so, reduce the damage taken by 1d4 and add 2d6 force damage to your next melee attack.
