Oath of Justice

All actions have consequences, positive or negative, but the world is a complicated and messy place. All too often, a good act goes unrewarded, or a cruel one goes unpunished. Paladins of the Oath of Justice take on the task of amending these unfortunate occurances. This includes the daunting task of making sense of unclear situations, discerning malice from mistakes, and determining which acts are selfless or selfish. Once the truth has been revealed, these paladins are swift and decisive with their judgment.

Many paladins of this oath follow Bahamut, the platinum dragon god of justice, and may work as part of a nation's judicial system. Others serve on the side of evil, enforcing the malign dictates of devils or cruel gods.

Level 3: Preserve Those in Privilege, Deliver Those in Peril

 

You act on your vow protect in the name of your own Justice. As a bonus action, you can expend one use of your Channel Divinity you present your holy symbol and choose a number of willing creatures within 30 feet of you (this can include yourself) equal to your proficiency bonus, creating protective wards over each of those creatures for 1 minute. The wards have a number of hit points equal to your paladin level + your Charisma modifier. Whenever a warded creature takes damage, their ward takes the damage instead. If this damage reduces the ward to 0 hit points, the creature takes any remaining damage and the ward disappears.

Level 3: Mark of Judgment

By expending one of your Channel Divinity slots, you magically mark one creature you can see within range as for judgment. Until the spell ends, you deal an extra 1d6 Radiant damage to the target whenever you hit it with an attack roll. You also have Advantage on any Wisdom (Perception or Survival) check you make to find it for  1 minute or until you use this feature again.
If the creature drops to 0 Hit Points before the mark ends, you can target a different creature within 30 feet of yourself for judgment.(no action required).

Level 7: Aura of Righteousness

You emit an aura of divine adjudication while you are not incapacitated. Once per turn when another creature within 10 feet of you takes damage, you can reduce or increase the damage by an amount equal to your proficiency bonus.

While your Divine Sense feature is active, you gain true sight out to a range of 60 feet and you know if a statement you hear spoken by a creature within that radius is a deliberate lie.
