Oath of Freedom

The Oath of Freedom binds a paladin to the ideals of freedom, liberty, and emancipation. While paladins of freedom may align with those of devotion in the pursuit of justice, paladins of freedom do not adhere to the restrictions of law, especially when the law supports servitude or otherwise restricts peoples' freedoms. For this reason, paladins of freedom tend to be neutral or chaotic good. Their armor and weapons are often adorned with symbols of freedom: torches, lanterns, railspikes, broken chains, doves, eyes, raised fists, and so on. Paladins of freedom fight for a variety of reasons and use various methods, but most draw inspiration from a creed written by the first paladin of freedom, Apidasowin: "True freedom will never be fully realized until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword."

Channel Divinity

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

Break the Chains. As an action, you present your holy symbol and speak and make a proclamation against servitude, using your Channel Divinity. End the grappled and restrained condition on every creature of your choice within a 30 ft. radius who can see or hear you. Additionally, every chain, shackle, or other form of bondage within a 30 ft. radius is destroyed with no harm done to the wearer. Every creature affected gains a +10 bonus towards opposing grappled and restrained checks and cannot be bound by any physical or magical implements for 1 minute.

Wide Awake. As an action, you channel the power of your faith to keep the eyes of the people around you awake and open, using your Channel Divinity. Every creature of your choice in a 30 ft. radius who can see or hear you gains immunity to the blinded, charmed, and frightened conditions for 1 minute.

Aura of Freedom

Starting at 7th level, you constantly emanate a liberating aura while you're not incapacitated. The aura extends 10 feet from you in every direction, but not through total cover. When a friendly creature starts its turn in your aura, it gains an extra 10 feet of movement speed until the end of their turn.

At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet.

North Star

Starting at 15th level, you become a guiding light to all those seeking freedom. All friendly creatures within a 30 feet radius of you gain a bonus to all Charisma saving throws equal to half your Charisma modifier rounded down. Additionally, you may illuminate any object on your person, causing it to shed bright light in a 20-foot radius and dim light for an additional 20 feet.

 

Emancipation

At 20th level, you gain the ability to harness the spirit of liberty. As an action, you can magically become an avatar of freedom, gaining the following benefits for 1 minute:

• You cannot be blinded, charmed, deafened frightened, grappled, incapacitated, paralyzed, petrified, prone, restrained, or stunned.
• You can forgo either attacking or moving on your turn to grant a friendly creature of your choice a bonus to their speed equivalent to your base walking speed or give them the ability to attack an extra time on their turn.
• You can touch one willing creature to end the restrained or grappled condition as well as well as end any state of servitude they might have.
