Oath of the Chad

TENETS OF THE CHAD

Though the each paladin who swears by the Oath of the Chad has their own opinions and standards, the following tenets are key to the path toward true Chadhood.

Truth. Don’t lie. Brutal honesty is far better than a sweet lie.

Courage. Never fear to act, though wisdom should prevail.

Respect. All opinions are valid, even if they are wrong. Do not yield your standards, but do not attack others’ either.

Growth. Inside of each person lies the potential for Chadhood, and all should be shown the path and invited to walk it.

Totality. Be entirely devoted, and unflinchingly merciless. In what you can do, give your all. In what you cannot do, spare the resources.

 

Additionally, when you take this Subclass at the 3rd level, your Divine Smite damage changes from Radiant damage to Psychic damage. 

Channel Divinity

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

Bro-ing In. As a bonus action, you can imbue yourself true power, using your Channel Divinity. For 1 minute, you add a +1 modifier to all rolls made. Your movement speed also increases by 5 feet for the duration.

You can end this effect on your turn as part of any other action. If you fall unconscious, this effect ends.

Turn the Unholy. As an action, you present your holy symbol and speak a prayer censuring fiends and undead, using your Channel Divinity. Each fiend or undead that can see or hear you within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw. If the creature fails its saving throw, it is turned for 1 minute or until it takes damage.

A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it can’t willingly move to a space within 30 feet of you. It also can’t take reactions. For its action, it can use only the Dash action or try to escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If there’s nowhere to move, the creature can use the Dodge action.

Oath Spells

You gain oath spells at the paladin levels listed.
