Base Class: Paladin
Swearing an oath to Cappela means you become a protector towards those Capella chooses. She assists you with special bonuses, in order to reward your protection, some examples being additional wisdom, attack advantages, and attack bonuses. This subclass mostly revolves around the wisdom stat.
Galactic Precision
At 3rd level, you gain advantage on perception checks, and have a +1 bonus on melee attack rolls.
Void Vision
You now have darkvision and can see within 180 ft of darkness.
Supernova Strike
At 15th level, your melee attacks have an additional 1d10 of damage, if the weapon is two-handed. Each level adds an additional 1d10 up to level 20.
Blackhole Aura
At 20th level, any creature not chosen by Capella to be protected within 10 ft of you have to roll a DC 20 Wisdom Check or be Frightened and Prone on a failed save. Additionally, all creatures in a 10 ft radius chosen by Capella gain advantage on your attacks and have a +3 bonus on your AC when wearing armor.

Posted Jul 2, 2021I think an Oath Spell list and Channel Divinity options would be nice since it is a Paladin subclass.
How does Supernova Strike work? Is the damage type that of the melee weapon? Also, does that mean you gain 2d10 bonus at level 16, 3d10 bonus at level 17, ..., 6d10 bonus at Level 20? If so, that seems quite strong. 6d10 twice a turn (plus potentially as a bonus attack through Great Weapon Master/Polearm Master and as a reaction) would be a minimum of 12d10 bonus damage (assuming both attacks hit) to a single target without expending a spell slot or using up any other resource. With an additional attack as a bonus action (since you outdamage all smite spells) and a reaction you will deal an additional average of 132 damage per turn at level 20 compared to not having this ability.
Is Blackhole Aura limited in time or is it always active? How long does the frightened condition last? Additionally, permanently having advantage and +3 AC is quite strong, even if it wouldn't also effect allies near you. How would an ally be counted as chosen by Capella?
