Oath of the Guardian

The Oath of the Guardian compels a paladin to protect life, strive tirelessly in the defense of their charges, and fight tirelessly against evil while it is in front of them. Although they rarely actively seek out evil, if they witness corruption, abuse of power, or wrong doing they are obligated to step in and defend those who cannot defend themselves. They will generally not take a life unless absolutely necessary, believing that all life is sacred. However, they will not hesitate to kill innately evil beings seeking to do harm to their charges or hinder their missions. They are the shields that guard all that is good in the world. They hold themselves to the expectations of protecting all those who cannot defend themselves and helping all they can despite danger or discomfort to themselves. They do not generally stay in one place for long, as once their charges defense is secured or their missions are completed, they will move on to the next person in need. 

Channel Divinity

Blessed Guardian: As a reaction, when a willing creature you can see within 60 ft. of you is targeted by an attack or spell, you can use your channel divinity to teleport yourself and the target, swapping your positions. If you do, you become the target of the spell or attack instead.

Divine Protection: When a creature you can see within 10 ft. of you moves to attack one of the Paladin's allies, the Paladin may use their reaction to impose a radiant shield between the creature and the target. The target of the attack get +1 to their AC. The creature must make a wisdom saving throw vs the Paladin's spell save DC. If the creature fails the saving throw, then the attack deals half damage.  On a successful save, the target takes full damage. This effect lasts until the end of the attacking creatures turn.
