Base Class: Paladin
The Oath of Hearth and Home is for Paladins who place their focus on the here and now rather than on the higher planes and greater powers. Devoted parents, guardians, and protectors, they fight fiercely and with no room for hesitation when the people and places they've sworn to protect are threatened.
These paladins share the following tenets:
- Guard the Fire. Always ensure that the people, places and things you care about are well protected, even when you're not physically there.
- Feed the Fire. Keep the people around you warm, comfortable, and fed, for they are the fuel that sustains your fire.
- Be the Fire. When you must fight, fight with all your heart and all your fury, for nothing must harm the hearth.

Level 7: Aura of the Hearthguard
Other friendly characters within the radius of your Aura of Protection may add your Charisma modifier to their Armor Class (minimum +1). You do not gain this bonus yourself.
Level 15: Vestal Vengeance
Attacks against your allies are an affront to your nature and your Oath. Whenever an enemy attacks and deals damage to one of your allies who is within 10 feet of you, you may spend a Reaction to immediately move up to your Speed directly toward that enemy. If this movement places you close enough to that enemy to attack them with your currently equipped melee weapon, you may do so as part of this Reaction.
