Oath of the Lady

Paladins who swear the Oath of the Lady bind themselves to the will of a sovereign fey known only as the Lady of the Lake. Called the Lady’s Knights, these warriors are wardens of moonlit waters, keepers of old vows, and relentless hunters of treacherous fey. They stand against glamours, broken bargains, and those spirits of the wild who prey upon mortals for sport.

Some Lady’s Knights are noble champions clad in silver and pink, riding beneath white banners. Others are quiet wardens who patrol deep woods, ruined circles, and mist-choked shores where the border between worlds grows thin.

Though the exact words vary, Lady’s Knights hold to these principles:

Keep the Boundary.
The borders between mortal lands and the realms beyond must be watched. Do not allow wicked things to cross unchallenged.

Honor the True Name.
See through lies, glamour, and pleasing masks. Truth is a sacred weapon.

Spare the Innocent.
Not all fey are cruel, and not all mortals are wise. Protect those caught in ancient games they do not understand.

Answer Oath with Oath.
A promise freely given is sacred. Betrayal, especially by those who wield charm and deceit, must be punished.

Let No Hunter Go Unhunted.
Those who stalk the helpless from mist and moonlight must learn fear in turn.

Level 3: The Lady's Mark

As a Bonus Action, you can present your holy symbol and mark one creature you can see within 60 feet for 1 minute.
For the duration:

You always know the marked creature’s direction while it is on the same plane of existence.
The marked creature can’t gain the benefits of being Invisible against you.
The first time each turn you hit it with a weapon attack, it takes extra Radiant damage equal to your Charisma modifier plus your Paladin level.
If the creature is a Fey, it can’t teleport willingly while within 30 feet of you.

You can end this effect early at any time. It also ends if you are Incapacitated or if you use this Channel Divinity again.

Level 3: Unmask the Glamour

As an action, you present your holy symbol and invoke the Lady’s mirrored waters. For 1 minute, you and allies within 15 feet of you gain these benefits:

• Advantage on saving throws against being Charmed or Frightened.
• Illusions and magical disguises within the aura seem to ripple and distort; creatures in the aura can make an Investigation check against your spell save DC as a free action once per turn to disbelieve an illusion they can see.
• Fey in the aura have disadvantage on checks made to Deceive or magically beguile those protected by this effect.

Level 3: Oath of the Lady Spells

The magic of your oath ensures you always have certain spells ready; when you reach a Paladin level specified in the Oath of the Lady Spells table, you thereafter always have the listed spells prepared.

Oath of the Lady Spells

Paladin Level	Spells
3	detect magic, protection from evil and good
5	misty step, moonbeam

At certain paladin levels, you gain blessings of your choice:

Your hair takes on the Lady’s impossible hue: rose-pink, hot-pink, or some other shade of pink.

You gain proficiency in Persuasion, Performance, or Intimidation.

In addition, whenever you make a Charisma check to interact with a Fey, you can add 1d4 to the roll.

Also, you have advantage on ability checks made to tell when a creature is lying to you or concealing its emotions through magic or glamour.

Wings of Shattered Glass

Small dragonfly-like wings of translucent, glassy light unfurl from your knees, elbows, shoulders, temples, or any combination of locations. They are too delicate to carry you aloft, but they shimmer beautifully.

You gain proficiency in Acrobatics. Your movement speed also increases by five feet.

Also, when you fall, you can reduce the falling damage you take by an amount equal to five times your paladin level.

Grace of the Reed

Starwater Halo

Droplets or sparks of silver-pink light circle your head and shoulders like a crown.

You gain Immunity to Psychic Damage.

In addition, whenever a Fey within 90 feet of you attempts to teleport, you immediately know the direction it traveled.

FIFTEENTH LEVEL

Mantle of the Silver Hunt

A flowing mantle of mist, reeds, moonlight, or spectral water trails behind you. Your armor and weapon look touched by sacred lakewater.
