Oath of the Indomitable

Warrior societies have long revered those stalwart defenders who sacrifice themselves for the greater good.  The brave few that stand as the rear guard in a delaying action, so that others might get away safely.  A courageous vanguard that faced down the invading hordes, giving their last breath to break the onslaught and save the village.  Myths abound across the Planes, retelling the deeds of resolute guardians who displayed the ultimate examples in courage, resilience and determination.  These brave souls were not without fear, but channeled their beliefs to stand resolute in the face of insurmountable odds, determined to hold to the bitter end.  Their loyalty and valor are the stuff of legends, and provide an example for all to emulate.

 

 

Armored in Courage:

Fear will sap my strength when it is needed most.  I will stand my ground and letting doubt wash over me, like a wave breaking on a boulder.  My courage will give me the strength to hold my ground against the advancing horde.

Shielded by Resilience:

By accepting my fate, I am granted the power to weather the onslaught.  My refusal to back down will protect me from harm and strengthen my allies.  My resilience has made me a fortress that others can rally around.

Armed with Determination:

Through sheer force of will, I will face down my opponent.  My resolve will break my foes, sowing fear and uncertainty among their ranks.  My determination will wreak havoc amongst the enemy and sow the seeds of their destruction.

Into the Breach:

I fight on, even though victory may be beyond my reach.  I will hold the line and try to turn the tide, so that others might live.  If I fall, it will be surrounded by a sea of fallen foes.  Come forth, and meet your doom!

Channel Divinity

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

Steadfast Will. As a bonus action, you can use your Channel Divinity to exude a stalwart presence, bolstering your allies with divine resolve.  You, and any allies within thirty feet of you, can add your Charisma modifier to all saving throws for 1 minute.

Vanguard's Challenge. As a bonus action, you bang your weapon against your armor and utter a ferocious battle cry that draws all attention.  Each creature of your choice that you can see within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw.  On a failed save, a creature has disadvantage on any attack not directed at you.
