Base Class: Paladin
Bonded to an ethereal being known as a spren, Windrunners must uphold the name of Honor in all they do and are bound to protect those who cannot protect themselves. They can use the power of Stormlight to fuel lashings, which can allow them to walk on walls, fly, and bind a being or object to another.
Channel Divinity
When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Divinity options.
Adhesion. As an action, you can pool Stormlight into an area of a wall or the ground. For 1 hour, any object or creature that touches that area becomes stuck there for the duration of the Surge.
You can end this effect on your turn as part of any other action.
Gravitation. As a bonus action, you can change the pull of gravity on an object or creature within sight. For 1 hour, gravity pulls that object or creature in the chosen direction instead of down.
The change in gravity will cause the target to automatically fall in the chosen direction. If they hit an immobile object such as a wall, they take fall damage based on the distance they fell.

Stormlight
Stormlight is the energy that is used by Windrunners to cast spells and Surgebind (use Channel Divinity options).
At level 3, you start with 3 Stormlight Points that can be used to cast spells at their base levels (doesn't consume spell slots), upcast spells (each additional Stormlight Point upcasts the spell by 1 level) or use Channel Divinity.
All expended Stormlight Points reset after a long rest.
The amount of Stormlight you have access to increases at levels 5,7,9,11,15,17,20.
Sprenblade
You can add the Legendary Homebrew item "Shardblade" to your equipment list. You are proficient with it.
Starting at Level 15, your Shardblade deals an additional 1d8+5 necrotic damage.
Shardplate
You can add the Legendary Homebrew item "Shardplate v. 2" to your equipment list. You are proficient with it.
Blessed of Honor
At 20th level, you gain +5 Stormlight points. Additionally, you can cast 3rd level spells and below for 1 fewer Stormlight points and you no longer have to spend Stormlight points to Surgebind yourself or your allies. Finally, Blessed of Honor allows you to cast all of their other Paladin spells (and Divine Smite) through the use of Stormlight Points, as opposed to spell slots. (Though, spell slots can still be used)
Also, the amount of Stormlight the player has access to increases by 2 at each of the levels indicated in the class description.
Hey! Great Build! Are you creating a campaign for Stormlight Archive? I don't see the extra Stormlight at levels above 3. How much should I add for each level?
Quick creator notes: There is not an actual counter for Stormlight. The player will have to keep track of their Stormlight by themself, as opposed to through their character sheet. Additionally, if multiclassing, I believe I made a mistake. I believe I have the wrong text for multiclass channel divinity, as I made this through a template as opposed to from scratch.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
