Oath of Ardor

It is hard to put a reign and bridle on a paladin with such vehemence. They do what they are passionate about and are extremely strong willed. They have little concern when it comes to pleasing their deity, as the deity is as fickle as flame too. Paladins of this oath believe in their own line of justice and only serve their deity for as long as their goals are aligned.

The Oath of Ardor is for the paladins that serve their cause with fervor and passion, no matter what they must accomplish, they are willing to give all the power that their bodies can muster to succeed in their endeavor. Passionate personalities, strong wills and fiery strength are what make a paladin of Oath of Ardor a paladin. Many who swear this oath are devoted to gods that suit their view of the world, they align themselves with a suitable deity to enforce the deity's (and their own) values upon the lands.

Channel Divinity

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

Burning Weapon. As an action, you can imbue one weapon that you are holding with positive energy, using your Channel Divinity. For 1 minute, you add your Charisma modifier to attack and damage rolls made with that weapon (with a minimum bonus of +1). The weapon also emits bright light in a 15-foot radius and dim light 15 feet beyond that. If the weapon is not already magical, it becomes magical for the duration.

You can end this effect on your turn as part of any other action. If you are no longer holding or carrying this weapon, or if you fall unconscious, this effect ends.

Burn the Unholy. As an action, you present your holy symbol and speak a prayer censuring fiends and undead, using your Channel Divinity. Each fiend or undead that can see or hear you within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw. If the creature fails its saving throw, it takes radiant damage equal to twice your level.
