Oath of Exaltation

Paladins who take the Oath of Exaltation strive to achieve glory, fame, and renown through deeds of unparalleled heroism. In doing so, they will stand out not just to the common man, but also in the eyes of their god, ensuring that they will thus be elevated to the highest position their deity affords to mere mortals. No higher honour could be attained.

Tenets of Exaltation

The tenets are spoken to ensure that the paladin will not go unnoticed by their chosen deity.

Pride. Strive to be known by glorious deeds above all else.

Courage. Do not fear to act, no matter the difficulties faced.

Excel. Never settle for second place. Your god is watching your every action, so do not fail to impress.

Focus. Nothing will get in the way of your goal.

Channel Divinity

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

Sacred Weapon. As an action, you can imbue one weapon that you are holding with positive energy, using your Channel Divinity. For 1 minute, you add your Charisma modifier to attack rolls made with that weapon (with a minimum bonus of +1). The weapon also emits bright light in a 20-foot radius and dim light 20 feet beyond that. If the weapon is not already magical, it becomes magical for the duration.

You can end this effect on your turn as part of any other action. If you are no longer holding or carrying this weapon, or if you fall unconscious, this effect ends.

Inspiring Smite. Immediately after you deal damage to a creature with your Divine Smite feature, you can use your Channel Divinity as a bonus action and distribute temporary hit points to creatures of your choice within 30 feet of you, which can include you. The total number of temporary hit points equals 2d8 + your level in this class, divided among the chosen creatures however you like.

Oath Spells

You gain oath spells at the paladin levels listed.

Oath of Exaltation Spells

PALADIN LEVEL	SPELLS
3rd	guiding bolt, heroism
5th	enhance ability, magic weapon
9th	haste, protection from energy
13th	compulsion, freedom of movement
17th	commune, flame strike

Aura of Alacrity

At 7th level, you emanate an aura that fills you and your companions with supernatural speed, allowing you to race across a battlefield in formation. Your walking speed increases by 10 feet. In addition, if you aren't incapacitated, the walking speed of any ally who starts their turn within 5 feet of you increases by 10 feet until the end of that turn.

When you reach 18th level in this class, the range of the aura increases to 10 feet.

Glorious Defense

When you reach 15th level, you can turn defense into a sudden strike. When you or another creature you can see within 10 feet of you is hit by an attack roll, you can use your reaction to grant a bonus to the target's AC against that attack, potentially causing it to miss. The bonus equals your Charisma modifier (minimum of +1). If the attack misses, you can make one weapon attack against the attacker as part of this reaction, provided the attacker is within your weapon's range.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
