Oath of the Arcane

Tenets of the Arcane

The Tenents for those who swore the Oath of the Arcane revolve around stability and fair use of Arcana in a given populace. This oath emphasizes on the practicality and good nature arcana can bring unto civilization while simultaneously ensuring peoples safety and concerns of being harmed by arcana. It is also common for these paladin's to work along side legitimate wizard schools to prove their claims of arcana and promote new research ideas that can prove beneficial to the general populace. It's four core principles are as follows:

Benefits of Arcana: Promote the wide variety of ways different schools of magic can benefit an individual in everyday life.

Demonstration of The Arcane: Inform and demonstrate proper use of arcane spells and magical items to the populace within the law and a safe environment.

Assurance of Arcane Safety: Work alongside the law to clear any misconceptions and hazards brought from poor use of arcana and reassure the people who hold a negative outlook towards arcana

Protector of The Arcane: Knowledge, study, experience, and improvement are what made you take this oath. Protect civilization from the misuse of arcana. Utilize both Holy and Arcane magic that is at your disposal to drive away those who use magic for wrong doing.

Channel Divinity

Arcane Abjuration You can use your Channel Divinity to abjure otherworldly creatures. As an action, you present your holy symbol and one celestial, elemental, fey, or fiend of your choice with 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw, provided it can see or hear you. If the creature fails its saving throw, it is turned for 1 minute or until it takes any 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.

After you reach 11th level, when a creature fails its saving throw against your Arcane Abjuration feature, the creature is banished for 1 minute (as the banishment spell, no concentration required) if it isn't on its plane of origin and its challenge rating is at or below a certain threshold, as shown on the table below.

Paladin Level	CR
11th	2
14th	3
17th	4

Chromatic Barrier As a bonus action, you can use your Channel Divinity to bolster your allies with arcane protection. Each creature of your choice that can hear you within 30 feet of you gain temporary hit points equal to your paladin level. Upon being hit by an attack, the arcane energy lashes out towards the aggressor and deals damage equal to half your paladin level+ your charisma Modifier (Minimum 1).

Roll a d6. The number rolled determines the damage type for the remainder of this features duration:

d6	Damage type
1	Acid
2	Cold
3	Fire
4	Force
5	Lightning
6	Thunder

This effect lasts until the temporary hit points are depleted or if the paladin is unconscious, or dead.

Arcane Shielding

Beginning at 15th level, you learn to understand how arcane nature bends and shapes reality. You gain advantage on saving throws against spells that deal, Acid, Cold, Fire, Force, Lightning or Thunder damage.

Magi Champion

• You are encased with various elemental energy. When a creature enters or starts their turn within 20 feet of you, they take 2d10 damage of a randomized damage type once per round. Roll a d6. The number rolled determines the damage type taken per creature (refer to the Chromatic Barrier's table).

• Whenever you cast or deal damage with a spell that deals Acid, Cold, Fire, Force, Lightning, or Thunder damage, you can select and maximize one of that spells damage dice once per round.

Once you use this feature, you cannot use it again until you finish a long rest.
