Oath of Discovery

The Oath of Discovery establishes itself as an oath of gaining knowledge, seeking to uncover truths. It is an order that dates back to the early days of recorded history. The paladins of this order have fought for the cause of uncovering what information lies in the shadows. They believe that every individual has a right to know the truth, and by knowing the truth individuals will gain freedom from oppression. To these paladins - lies, deceit, and secrets cannot be tolerated as they only serve to betray the common good.

TENETS OF DISCOVERY

The tenets of the Oath of Discovery are generally kept within a book held by the paladins at all times. These books are sometimes also used as journals for each paladin to chronicle their encounters so their truths may be told.

Be the Truth. Lies only work to keep others in darkness, this darkness only works to keep others afraid.

Be the Seeker. Always seek to learn more, as knowledge can be your greatest weapon in fighting your enemy.

Be the Teacher. Use your knowledge to help others, bring others to the light so they may know its power.

Be the Flame. With this power let the light shine unto those that hide in darkness, so they may know the value of truth, and horrors of the shade.

Channel Divinity

Know Thine Enemy. You can use your channel divinity to say a prayer as a bonus action, your words guiding your movements as you better understand an enemy. You may select one creature within 60 feet, if you do the next attack you make against the creature is at advantage and the creature is vulnerable to its bludgeoning, slashing, or piercing damage.

Uncover the Deceivers. As an action, you present your holy symbol and speak a prayer of condemnation, using your Channel Divinity. Each creature of your choosing that can see or hear you within 30 feet must make a Wisdom saving throw. If the creature fails its saving throw, it begins glowing dim light for 10 feet and attacks against them have advantage until the end of your next turn, and cannot benefit from being invisible. Any creature who is invisible has disadvantage on their wisdom saving throw.
