Oath of the Light

Tenets  of Light

While there is no holy scripture to describe the path of the Light, those who follow it are bound to find themselves filled with the same sense of right and wrong.

Perpetuation: when you encounter darkness, you must see to it that light is produced and the dark retreats for now.

Courage: you must never shy away from the dark, and face your mission with a strong heart.

Hope: You must stand as a hope that the Dark won’t last forever.

Channel Divinity

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

Dispel Darkness: As an action, you present your holy symbol and speak a word of light, and permanently dispel any magical darkness within 60ft of you.

Turn the darkened: As an action, you present your holy symbol and channel divine energy through it, causing any fiends or aberrations within 30 ft of you to make a wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, any fiend or aberration within 30 ft of you is turned for 1 minute or until it takes damage.

A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it can't willingly move to a space within 30 feet of you. It also can't take reactions. For its action, it can use only the Dash action or try to escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If there's nowhere to move, the creature can use the Dodge action
