Oath of the Blades

The Blades, also known as the Imperial Intelligence Service, the Arms of the Throne and as the Order of Blades, were members of an elite royal Order dedicated to the protection and service of the Kings. The Blades have diversified into many areas of Imperial espionage, military, and diplomacy. Indeed, while a select few were appointed by the King to serve openly as diplomats or bodyguards, the majority of Blades agents acted covertly as couriers and spies.

 

TENETS OF the Blades

Though the exact words and strictures of the Oath of the Blades vary, paladins of this oath share these tenets.

Loyalty. Without loyalty and order our civilication is doomed. Protect the King for he will shield us from chaos.

Courage. Never fear to act, though caution is wise.

Vigilance. The threats you face are cunning, powerful, and subversive. Be ever alert for their corruption.

 

Blade Spells

An oath of the blade Paladin gains the following spells at the paladin levels listed.

Channel Divinity

Rebuke the Violent. You can use your Channel Divinity to rebuke those who use violence. Immediately after an attacker within 30 feet of you deals damage with an attack against a creature other than you, you can use your reaction to force the attacker to make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the attacker takes radiant damage equal to the damage it just dealt. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage.

Kings Charme. You can use your Channel Divinity to augment your presence with divine power. As a reaction, you grant yourself a +5 bonus to all Charisma related checks for the next 10 minutes.

Divine Stalker

At 7th level, as a bonus action, you can make a 30-foot sphere of magical darkness around you that you may see through. It lasts until the start of your next turn, and you regain use of this feature after you finish a short or long rest.

Moon Cloak

At 15th level, you are now cloaked in magical darkness. When you are not in sunlight, you receive a +2 bonus to AC. Also, you gain proficiency in the Stealth skill, your armor does't impose disadvantage on stealth checks anymore.

Mythical Spy

You manifest a spark of divine power in defense of the royal family. As a bonus action, you gain the following benefits for 1 minute:

• You gain truesight with a range of 30 feet
• You have advantage on attack rolls against another creature if at least one of your allies is within 5 feet of the target creature
• You can take the Dash or Disengage action as a bonus action

Once you use this bonus action, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest, unless you expend a 5th-level spell slot to use it again.
