Oath of Murder

The Oath of Murder is the path followed by paladins who have  been lost to the insatiable hunger for blood, death and murder or who care only for their own power and survival. Commonly known as Bhaal's Chosen, these profane warriors are faithful only  Bhaal or to themselves and their hunger for blood and murder. Anyone desperate enough to follow one of these paladins does so because these paladins command great power. Those who follow them without falling prey to their urges hope to indulge in wanton violence, to please Bhaal and accumulate great treasure.

Channel Hatred

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

Dreadful Aspect. As an action, you channel the darkest emotions and focus them into a burst of magical menace. Each creature of your choice within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw if it can see you. On a failed save, the target is frightened of you for 1 minute. If a creature frightened by this effect ends its turn more than 30 feet away from you, it can attempt another Wisdom saving throw to end the effect on it.

Fury of  Bhaal. As a bonus action, you channel the powerful might of Bhaal to bolster your attacks for 1 minute. Once per turn for the duration, when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can choose to push the target 10 feet away from you. If pushed into an obstacle or another creature, the target takes slashing damage equal to your Charisma modifier.

Aura of Murder

Starting at 7th level, you emanate an aura of Death, which gives you the following benefits.

• Cull the Herd. You have advantage on melee attack rolls against any creature that has one or more of its allies within 5 feet of it.

 

• Hateful Strike. You can use your Channel Divinity to strike with supernatural accuracy. When you make an attack roll, you can use your Channel Divinity to gain a +10 bonus to the roll. You make this choice after you see the roll, but before the DM says whether the attack hits or misses.

Murderers Immunity

At 15th level, you gain resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical weapons.

Bhaal's Chosen

At 20th level, you gain the ability to harness extraordinary martial prowess. As an action, you can magically become an avatar of conquest, gaining the following benefits for 1 minute:

• You have immunity to all non-magical damage.

• When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can make one additional attack as part of that action.

• Your melee weapon attacks score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20 on the d20.

Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
