Base Class: Paladin
Paladins who swear the Oath of the Hermetic are driven by a profound connection to the mysteries of alchemy and the power of potions. These paladins see themselves as keepers of the sacred balance between science and magic, seeking to unlock the hidden potential of alchemical arts through their divine connection.
Guided by their oath, paladins of this path delve into the secrets of transmutation, blending the esoteric knowledge of the alchemist with their unwavering devotion to justice and protection. They view potions as vessels of transformative power, capable of healing wounds, enhancing abilities, or bringing harm to those who threaten the natural order.

Channel Divinity
Channel Divinity: Equal Exchange Starting at 3rd level, as a bonus action, you can tap into the transmutative energies of your oath. You can change a melee attack roll made with disadvantage into one made with advantage.
Channel Divinity: Potion Mist At 3rd level, you can use an action to unleash the mystical power of a potion. By consuming or throwing a potion within 20 feet of you, you create a 30-foot diameter fog wherein every creature gains the effects of that potion.
Oath Potions
Starting at level 3, as an Oath of the Hermetic paladin, you gain access to the Potion List. With this ability, you can expend your Lay on Hands pool to create potions as an action. You have the flexibility to create any number of potions you desire, depending on the amount of Lay on Hands points you expend.
Each potion you create lasts for a duration of 1 hour, providing its effect to the drinker. However, as your power grows at level 15, the duration of the potions you create extends for an additional hour, allowing the effects to last even longer.
Harnessing your divine connection to alchemy, you can craft these potent potions to aid yourself and your allies during your adventures. Remember to carefully manage your Lay on Hands pool and choose the right moment to create and distribute these mystical concoctions to maximize their benefits.
