An Oathbreaker is a paladin who has turned their back on the teachings and tenets they had once devoted their life for. the circumstances surrounding a paladin breaking their oath differ from person to person. While many stray from the path of righteousness to pursue more dark intentions, some find themselves where they have no other choice but to break a vow for the greater good, or perhaps they feel disenchanted after what they had once perceived as morally good proved to not be as faultless as they had initially believed. Oathbreakers of this nature still lose the blessings bestowed upon them by their oath but unlike True Oathbreakers who gain new demented abilities, they find themselves feeling empty and deprived.

Lost Oathbreakers are left to live out the remainder of their lives with a sort of emptiness where divine power and righteous light once existed, with only fragments of lingering divinity or magical powers clinging on to them. The instability of their cores combined with this fragmented divine power awakens new abilities in the hearts of these once mighty paragons, while they may never again compare to their old potential, the desperate hunger of that pervades their soul grants them access to powers unnatural, bending the weave too and from others. 

Flickering Divinity

Having broken their oath, you have lost access to much of the blessing of their oath, subsisting only on the lingering remains of what was once a connection to a higher power. while some of the teachings and practices of your oath remain, the unsustainable nature to your power means that regaining uses of your abilities is a far greater ordeal.

• Lay on hands healing, paladin spell slots, and Cleansing Touch can no longer be restored with long or short rests.
• Divine Smite and Improved Divine Smite instead deal non-magical bludgeoning damage.
• Long rests can only restore a single use of either Channel Divinity or Divine Sense.
• Aura of Courage and Aura of Protection have their ranges reduced to 10ft. At the 15th level this increases to 15ft.

Channel Divinity

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

Unravelling. As an action, you can focus your mind on the instability of your soul, letting it violently absorb magical energy from it's surroundings by using your Channel Divinity. All creatures within 15 feet of you must make a constitution saving throw or lose take 1d4 force damage and lose a single spell slot (if any). roll a d10 for each affected to determine the level of spell slot it losses (if the number rolled is greater than the highest level spell slot, you may choose the level of spell slot taken) and regain a paladin spell slot of equal or lesser level to the one lost or a use of cleansing touch.

Disrupt Good and Evil. As an action, you evoke some of the distorted celestial power still lingering in your body, twisted by your soul's depravity, using your Channel Divinity. aberrations, celestials, elementals, fey, fiends, and undead within a 30-foot radius circle must succeed on a wisdom saving throw to resist the effects. On a failed save, those creatures have their movement speed halved and cannot cast spells for for 1 minute, they can repeat the saving throw at the start of each of their turns.
