Oath of Absurdity

An Oath of Absurdity calls paladins to spread joy and revelry in a world that wants to push people down. Those devoted to this oath know the cruel, fantastical world around them, and see the absurdity in taking everything so seriously. Oath of Absurdity paladins can often be recognized by their colorful and ostentatious armor.

Tenents of Absurdity

The tenets of the Oath of the Absurdity drive the paladin to allow those around them to forget about the stressful world and to just have a good time.

Comedy in Tragedy  Those who have suffered a great loss need relief the most. Finding comedy in a loss helps ground an individual and allows them to heal.

 Life of the Party  When you're in town its a celebration. A time for everyone to forget about their troubles and let loose.

 All it Takes is a Smile  Protect the smiles of those who you help, as long as one person is smiling, the world is a better place.

Protect Your Own Smile  In order to help others you must help yourself. If you cannot laugh, then who will?

Crowd work  You invoke your channel divinity to overwhelm your target with burdening laughter.  As an action, choose a creature that can see or hear you within 60 feet. That creature must make a Charisma saving throw or be knocked prone and must spend their next turn rolling on the ground laughing.

Aura of Folly

Starting at 7th level, You exude an aura of waggish joy. You and friendly creatures within 10 feet are resistant to psychic damage and cannot be restrained.

Indisputable Charm

You've learned how to sway crowds with your acts of sincerity and humor. As an action, a number of creatures equal to your spellcasting modifier of your choice that you can see within 60ft must make a Charisma saving throw or be charmed. While charmed in this way, the creature regards you as a non threat, and someone they can trust with their woes. If the creature was hostile towards you, It can repeat the saving throw at the beginning of its turns or whenever it takes damage from you or your allies, ending the condition on a success. This lasts for 10 minutes.
