The Oath of Chaos binds a paladin to the rules of chaos, a sometimes cruel paradox. These paladins seek to remove law or uphold the balance between chaos and order. They are not afraid of change, and use surprise as a very powerful tool. Many who swear this oath are devoted to gods of chaos and trickery and use their gods’ tenets as the measure of their devotion. While they do seek to spread chaos, not all paladins of chaos believe that demons are a good source of it. They often use imagery of Limbo, the Abyss, or intense storms, depictions of chaos in the material plane.

Channel Divinity

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

Chaotic Weapon. As an action, you can imbue one weapon that you can see with chaotic energy. For 1 minute, the weapon is considered magical. When the weapon hits a target, you can choose to make the weapon activate chaos. If you do, roll a d6, and do the following:
1- The target must make a Wisdom saving throw against your Paladin spell save. If they fail, they must immediately use their reaction to use their full movement away from the attacker. This movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity.
2- The target of the attack must make a Strength saving throw against your Paladin spell save DC or be knocked prone
3- The target of the attack takes 1d6 fire damage and the weapon emits dim red light for 20 feet.
4- The wielder of the weapon gains 1d6 temporary hit points and is wreathed in smoke.
5- The wielder of the weapon regains hit points equal to half the damage done (rounded down).
6- The weapon chaos bolt on a random creature hostile to the wielder that is within range.

You can end this effect on your turn as part of any other action. If the weapon is no longer being carries, or if you fall unconscious.

Turn the Unholy. As an action, you present your holy symbol and speak a prayer censuring fiends and undead, using your Channel Divinity. Each fiend or undead that can see or hear you within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw. If the creature fails its saving throw, it is turned for 1 minute or until it takes 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.
