Channel Divinity
When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Divinity options. See the Sacred Oath class feature for how Channel Divinity works.
Wrath of the Just. You can use your Channel Divinity to invoke divine forces of justice to ensnare your foe. As an action, you force one creature of your choice that you can see within 30 feet of you to make a strength saving throw. On a failed save, a creature becomes restrained of you for 1 minute. As spectral chains wrap bind it. The restrained creature can repeat this saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself and shattering the chains.
Order's Hold. As an action you can use your channel divinity to call on the forces of order to hold your foes in place. As an action you may force each creature of your choice within 30 feet of you to make a constitution saving throw. On a failed save each target's speed is reduced to zero. On a successful save each target's speed is halved. These effects last for one minute. Effected creatures may repeat the save at the end of their turns to end the effect early
Aura of Order.
Starting at 7th level, you constantly emanate an aura while you’re not incapacitated. The aura extends 10 feet from you in every direction, but not through total cover. The aura grants the paladin and allies in range a bonus to all weapon damage equal to the paladin's charisma modifier (minimum +1).
Order's Rebuke
Starting at 15th level, those who strike you must face justice. When an attacking creature hits you, you may use your reaction to restrain the creature until the end of it's next turn. You may do this a number of times per day equal to your charisma modifier (minimum one).
Angel of Justice.
At 20th level, you gain the ability to harness extraordinary angelic power . As an action, you can magically become an avatar of justice, undergoing a transformation that provides the following benefits for one hour.
- Wings sprout from your back and you have a fly speed of 60 feet.
- You emanate an aura 30 feet in radius. When an enemy enters the aura for the first time or starts their turn in it they are forced to make a strength saving throw. On a fail they are restrained.
- You shed bright light out to 30 feet.
- Your melee weapon attacks score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20 on the d20.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
