Oath of Humility

Many Paladins evoke strong imagery of haughtiness and nobility, however there are some who find their calling in more humble roles, in dark alleyways, crowded city streets, and crime-ridden highways. Paladins of this oath swear to protect the righteous and enable them to protect themselves from within their ranks, rather than from the backs of glorious steeds. They eschew the knight in shining armor cliches, even sometimes forgoing weaponry in favor of dispensing justice with the hands of the people.

Channel Divinity

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

Humble: you raise your holy symbol, and choose either a suit of armor or a weapon being used by a creature within 30 feet of yourself to become useless. The creature must make a charisma saving throw. If they fail the saving throw, the target is treated as unarmored, or its weapon’s damage die is reduced to a d4 for 1 minute.

Rally: With a cry, you inspire those around you to continue fighting, granting them strength and vigor. Choose up to 10 creatures within 30 feet of you to be inspired. They receive temporary hit points equal to your paladin level, and while they have these temporary hit points, they have a bonus to attack rolls equal to your charisma modifier.
