Oath of the BattleSage

Tenets of the BattleSage

Though the exact words and structures of the Oath of the BattleSage vary, paladins of this oath share these tenets.

Honesty. Don't lie or cheat. Strive to maintain the Truth, and share all knowledge to those willing to learn. Seek out dishonesty and lies and expose them.

Bravery. There is nothing to fear but the unknown.

Ingenuity. The most dangerous weapon at your disposal is your mind.

Inquisitiveness. The only questions without answers are the ones that go unasked.

Protection. Your duty, above all else, is to protect the innocent from being lead astray by deceit.

Chosen Guardian

 At 20th level, as an action, you can invoke a secret prayer that causes a bright radiant flame to erupt above your head. For 1 minute, you gain the following benefits:

• You and all friendly creatures within 30 feet of you can communicate telepathically
• You learn the damage resistances, immunities, and vulnerabilities of all enemies within 30 feet. You also learn any condition immunities.
• All enemy creatures within 30 feet of you have disadvantage of attack rolls, and attacks against them have advantage.

Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
