Base Class: Paladin
Oath Of Sacrifice
The battlefield. full of chaos, violence, and destruction. all in the hopes of a single victory. however, most battles cannot be achieved without a sacrifice. you, the willing combatant that you are, have taken it upon yourself to make that sacrifice, for your better tomorrow.
Tenents of Sacrifice:
- A Better Tomorrow: You fight for a better tomorrow. and will sacrifice whatever will be needed to reach your better tomorrow.
- The Greater good: In order for there to be a better tomorrow, there has to BE a tomorrow. if necessary you are willing to sacrifice yourself for the greater good. even if it means your own death.
- Needless death: To die without purpose, without reaching your tomorrow, or to further that goal. is the greatest shame you can befall.
- Above All else: Remember the Sacrifices made to reach your better tomorrow
Oath of Sacrifice paladin's belong to no alignment, as your "Better tomorrow" is whatever you believe it to be

Channel Divinity
3rd-level Oath of Sacrifice feature
You gain two Channel Divinity options.
Sudden intervention: As a bonus action you may do 2 the following
- You can sacrifice 1/4 of your health to half damage meant for a creature you can see.
- You can gain temporary hit points from a 1d20
- If a creature you can see is about to be killed/Knocked down. you may sacrifice half your remaining hit points to prevent them from being killed/Knocked down
Sacrificial Smite: Starting at 3rd level, when you successfully hit a creature with a Divine Smite, you can use your Channel Divinity to transfer a portion of the damage you dealt to yourself, further bolstering your allies' defenses. As a reaction immediately after you use Divine Smite, you can choose to take damage equal to half the total damage dealt by the Divine Smite (rounded down). If you do, all friendly creatures of your choice within 10 feet of you gain temporary hit points equal to half the damage you took
Aura of The Immolation
7th- and 18th-level Oath of Sacrifice feature
you emanate an aura of selflessness that bolsters your allies' defenses. You and friendly creatures within 10 feet of you gain resistance to all damage types while you are conscious and not incapacitated.
Starting at 18th level, the range of your Aura of Sacrifice increases to 30 feet, and the resistance to all damage types it grants improves to immunity while you are conscious and not incapacitated.
Sacred Sacrifice
15th-level Oath of Sacrifice feature
you gain the ability to make the ultimate sacrifice to save your allies. Once per long rest, as an action, you can choose a number of willing creatures equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum of one) within 30 feet of you. Each chosen creature gains temporary hit points equal to your Paladin level plus your Constitution modifier. However, you suffer damage equal to twice the total temporary hit points granted by this ability.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Avatar of Sacrifice
20th-level Oath of Sacrifice feature
you can become an embodiment of self-sacrifice for a short time. As an action, you can assume the form of an Avatar of Sacrifice for 1 minute. During this time, you gain the following benefits:
- You gain resistance to all damage types.
- Once on each of your turns when you make a weapon attack and miss, you can sacrifice 2d6 of your own health, and cause that attack to hit instead.
- Whenever you take damage, each friendly creature of your choice within 30 feet of you gains temporary hit points equal to half the damage taken.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest, unless you expend a 5th-level spell slot to use it again.
