Base Class: Paladin
Based on Paladin. But more Chaosy.
Channel Divinity
When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Divinity options. See the Sacred Oath class feature for how Channel Divinity works.
Chaotic Presence: Using your channel divinity you overwhelm your foes with chaotic visions, stunning them if they fail a CHA saving throw
Chaos strike: You can use your Channel Divinity to infuse Chaos in to your weapon. When you make an attack roll, you may declare it is a Chaos strike You make this choice after you see the roll, but before the DM says whether the attack hits or misses. If the attack hits the opponent is hit with Chaos bolt that leaps from your weapon. Opponent takes normal weapon damage and Chaos Bolt damage.
Oath Spells
You gain oath spells at the paladin levels listed in the Oath of Conquest Spells table. See the Sacred Oath class feature for how oath spells work.

Aura of Chaos
While you are conscious, all Chaotic aligned creatures within 10 ft. deal additional damage equal to the Chaos Knights Charisma modifier (Minimum +1).
At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet.
Champion of Chaos
Starting at 15th level, those who not Chaotic in alignment and under the effect of the Chaos Knights Chaos Aura receive a penalty to attack equal to the Knights Charisma Modifier (Minimum of one)
Avatar of Chaos
At 20th level, you gain the ability to harness extraordinary martial prowess. As an action, you can magically become an avatar of Chaos, gaining the following benefits for 1 minute:
- You Become Enlarged as per the spell
- You have 4 tentacles sprout from your torso. These tentacle flail at nearby opponents who need to make a dex saving throw (DC10 +prof. + Cha Mod) to avoid damage 2d6. These tentacles have the same reach as the Chaos knight.
- On a critical hit your weapon also discharges Chaos bolt in addition to all other damage.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.

Posted Jan 23, 2022Adding to Torinn_Myastan, since the feature Chaotic Presence is vision-based, does it work on enemies, that can't see you? How far out does the ability work? How long are they stunned? Can they repeat the save to end the stun?
Aura of Chaos sounds like a downside for most parties, unless you let your other players know that you play this subclass, in which case this might pressure them into taking a Chaotic alignment.
Champion of Chaos makes it even worse, especially for non-chaotic frontliners who would usually stand near you, as they are now forced to stay at a distance.
The Save DC for many spell caster abilities is usually 8 + Prof Bonus + Casting ability Modifier. In Avatar of Chaos, it's 10 + the rest, I'd change that down to 8.
