Oath of the Stars

When the stars are threatened by the cosmic darkness that wants to consume all light, heroes are called upon to ascend beyond the quarrels of gods and men, to ensure that the light that illuminates all of existence never ceases to shine.

Tenets of the Stars

 

Those that follow this oath have strict instructions, even more so than any other type of paladin. While another paladin fails their faith, you may fail creation itself.

 

Dedication. If the light of the stars falls, darkness will flood into the world. The stars must not go out, even if the innocent must be used as tinder.

 

Salvation. Being a burning beacon of hope and power will show others what light can do for the worthy. Show them the lights’ power so that they might bow down before it.

 

Recognition. At night, take the time to look into the sky and value the stars that exist there, and remind yourself of what you protect.

Oath Spells

You gain oath spells at the paladin levels listed in the Oath of Stars Spells table. See the Sacred Oath class feature for how oath spells work.

Oath of Conquest Spells

Channel Divinity

When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Divinity options. See the Sacred Oath class feature for how Channel Divinity works.

Starblade. As a bonus action, you touch a simple or martial weapon and wreathe it in light for 1 minute. Once per turn, if you use your Divine Smite feature when you hit with this weapon, the target must make a Constitution saving throw or be blinded for 1 minute. The creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of its turns, ending the effect on a success.

 

Sanctuary of Light. When you begin a short or long rest, you can use your Channel Divinity to create a 30 foot radius sphere of dim light, centered on the space where you used this ability. Friendly creatures in the light have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks and are invisible to creatures outside the sphere. The light fades when the rest concludes or when a creature in the aura takes damage.

Aura of Stellae

Beginning at 7th level you exude an aura with a 10-foot radius. While in this aura, allied creatures are immune to being blinded and have resistance to fire and radiant damage.

 

At 18th level, the aura’s range increases to 30 feet.

Allies within {{aura:10+{{level:paladin}>17?20:0}}} ft are immune to the blinded condition and have resistance to fire and radiant damage.

Path of the Stars

Starting at 15th level, the stars always guide you to your quarry. When you hit a creature with an attack or target it with your Lay on Hands feature, you can mark it with glimmering starlight, which lasts for one minute or until you use this ability to mark another creature. The marked creature can’t benefit from being invisible against you, and you always know its location as long as you are on the same plane of existence.

 

As a bonus action while you’re within 90 feet of the marked creature, you can fly up to 30 feet towards the marked creature. If you end this flight in the air without anything else holding you aloft, you fall.

Celestial Purity

At 20th level, you can use your action to assume the form of a celestial champion. For 1 minute, you gain the following effects:

 

You have immunity to radiant damage.

 

You can use your Divine Smite feature once per turn without expending a spell slot. Using this ability acts as if you used a 1st-level spell slot for your Divine Smite.

 

You gain a magical flying speed of 30 feet.

 

You regain 10 hit points if you start your turn in bright light, or 5 hit points in dim light.

 

 

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