Oath of the Dissident

Oath of the Dissident Paladins hold conviction over loyalty, fighting against institutionalized corruption that would soil their Faith.

Channel Divinity

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

Symbol of Resistance. As an action, you touch one willing creature and create a magic tattoo of your holy symbol on their skin, which disappears after one hour. While the tattoo persists, The creature gains proficiency in two of the following (their choice): deception, persuasion, stealth, sleight of hand. In addition, they may used your charisma modifier instead of the normal attribute modifier when making skill checks of the chosen proficiencies. 

As an action, the creature can hide the tattoo with an illusion, making it appear as another tattoo, or as though it isn't there at all. The creature can also dispel the illusion with an action.

Checks and Balances. As an action, you present your holy symbol and bestow a curse onto one creature within 30 ft. of you. For the next minute, whenever that creature attacks, they must roll 1d4 and choose to either subtract the result from their attack roll, or take the result as radiant damage.

This effect ends early if you fall unconscious or end your turn further than 30 ft. away from the affected creature.
