Channel Divinity
When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Divinity options:
-
Tidal Wave: As an action, you can present your holy symbol and summon a powerful wave of water. Each creature in a 30-foot line must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 10d6 bludgeoning damage and is knocked prone. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and isn't knocked prone.
-
Calm Waters: As an action, you can use your Channel Divinity to create an area of calm. For the next minute, you and your allies within a 30-foot radius are immune to being frightened or charmed, and any magical effects that are causing fear or charm are ended.
Aura of the Tide
Starting at 7th level, you emanate an aura of calming tides. You and friendly creatures within 10 feet of you gain resistance to cold and fire damage. At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet.
Watery Resilience
Beginning at 15th level, you gain the ability to temporarily become as fluid as water. When you take damage, you can use your reaction to reduce the damage by an amount equal to your paladin level + your Charisma modifier. 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.
Avatar of the Tides
At 20th level, you can assume the form of a powerful water elemental as an action. For 1 minute, you gain the following benefits:
-
You gain the effects of the Water Elemental spell.
-
You have immunity to cold damage and resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical attacks.
-
You can move through a space as narrow as 1 inch wide without squeezing.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.
