Channel Divinity

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

Preserve Life. As an action, you present your holy symbol and evoke healing energy that can restore a number of hit points equal to five times your paladin level. Choose any creatures within 30 feet of you, and divide those hit points among them. This feature can restore a creature to no more than half of its hit point maximum. You can't use this feature on an undead or a construct.

Take the Hit: As an action, you can imbue your armor that you are wearing with shielding energy using your channel divinity. For one minute, every time an ally you designate within 10-ft. loses any hit points, you take your level + your Charisma modifier in damage and your ally takes that much less, up to a maximum of the damage dealt. You never transfer more damage than was dealt by the attack. The armor also emits a ruddy glow in a 5-ft. radius and dim light 5 ft. beyond that.
