Oath of Pestilence

The Tenets of the Oath of Pestilence are often perverted by those whomst take it up, changing its meaning as they see fit. Perhaps at once this oath was taken up in good nature, but now its as twisted and diseased as they are.

      Contamination- Spread, corrupt and decay all that you see.

      Survival of the Fittest. Natures most old and cruel law. One you take with utmost fervor.

      Cull the Meek. The strong will prosper and the meek will wither and fail.

Harbinger of Pestilence

At 20th level, the paladin can, as an action, surround himself or herself with an aura of rot that lasts for 1 minute.

• You and llies within the aura's range are immune to poison and disease.
• Whenever a hostile creature starts their turn within the aura, they will take 2d8 poison damage and must make a constitution saving throws equal to your spell save DC or become poisoned.
• At the start of your turn you gain temp hp equal to your constitution modifier multiplied by the amount of poisoned creatures within your aura.

After activating the aura, the paladin can’t do so again until he or she finishes a long rest.
