Base Class: Paladin
Paladins of this oath dedicate their lives to absolute beauty in every form. They seek to bring the beauty out in everyone, whether that grace be superficial or within their soul. These paladins are the watchful guardians over all that is beautiful. They are the sentinels that guard all that they deem aesthetically pleasing, whether it be the flow of a waterfall, the traditions of a village, an old woman's hope, or the preservation of music and art. Some might see these paladins and their concerns as trivial. Others know the importance of a society's greatest treasures, that often a society's beauty and grace is the only thing that brings hope to its people, preventing their lands from slipping into Chaos. Paladins of this oath often wear armor that shines and mirrors their surroundings, reflecting the beauty of the world outward. They love to collect what they find beautiful, many will have collections of shells, flowers, or even rare stones.
While some might see them as dainty, these paladins will defend beauty to the death. To scar a land is to threaten the wrath of a paladin of this oath. These paladins hope that one day even their enemies will find beauty. Whether their foes yield to the elegance of this world or end up as a beautiful corpse, these paladins will ensure that the end of everything is beautiful.
TENETS OF BEAUTY
The tenets of the Oath of Beauty hold a paladin to a high standard of aesthetics and elegance.
Allure. Be the embodiment of all that is worth living. Many will find hope in your grace. Like a siren you will call them forward.
Metamorphosis. Many have not yet found the beauty or elegance within them. Use your power to foster these talents within those around you. Create butterflies wherever you go.
Rose and Thorn. Be willing to protect the fragile and weak, for they are the most beautiful. Seek to humble the strong, for ugliness is born from power. Greet any who would oppose this will with divine force. You are delicate. You are strong. Every rose has thorns.
Mirror. Your soul and mind must be clear enough to reflect the world. Do not give into ugly acts. If ugliness should challenge you then show it what its true form looks like. Eye for an eye, even beauty must comprise sometimes. Purge them like a fire.
Channel Divinity
When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Divinity options.
Inspiring Elegance. As an action you can grant your allies added confidence. You may choose any number of allies within 30 feet and grant temporary hit points equal to your paladin level that last until your next long rest (unless used otherwise). Any ally who receives this benefit also gains advantage on charisma saves for the next minute.
Mirror Shield.You can use your Channel Divinity to invoke a reflective magical mirror. Immediately after an attacker deals damage with an attack against you, you can use your reaction to force the attacker to make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the attacker takes damage equal to the damage it just dealt. The damage type matches that of the attack. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage.

Glamorous Guard
Starting at 7th level, your beautiful presence is distracting to enemies. Any enemy within 10 feet of you has disadvantage on attack rolls to allies while you are conscious. The ally does not have to be within this radius.
At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet.
Spirit of Eloquence
Beginning at 15th level, you may cast any enchantment spell you know that casts as an action as a bonus action.
Avatar of Perfection
At 20th level, as an action, you shift into the embodiment of perfection. For 1 minute, a multitude of colors shines from your body. You have advantage on persuasion checks.
On top of your normal movement, you can teleport up to 30 ft each turn.
Any enemy that attempts to make an attack roll against you must make a Constitution saving throw or be blinded until the end of its turn.
You regain 10 hit points at the start of your turn.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.

Posted Aug 4, 2024Love this! I have a really fun paladin with this oath!
Might I make one small suggestion?
For Mirror Shield, could it be radiant damage instead of the same damage type as the attack? At higher levels, enemies who deal fire/cold/necrotic/etc damage are going to have resistances/immunities to those same damage types, which will make this channel divinity less effective to use at later levels. Changing the damage type to radiant will emulate other paladin Channel Divinities, like Oath of Redemption’s Rebuke the Violent.
