Oath of Devotion — Sagor från Valoris

The Oath of Devotion is the ideal made flesh — the knight in shining armor of a thousand tales, holding to honesty, courage, compassion, and honor with an earnestness that lesser souls find almost unnerving. These paladins bind themselves to the highest principles a warrior can serve and then, impossibly, live up to them: keeping their word when it costs everything, protecting the helpless when it is inconvenient, and treating even a defeated enemy with the mercy their code demands.

It is the purest and most exacting of the oaths, and it answers with power to match. A Devotion paladin's weapon blazes with sanctified light, their presence renders allies proof against the whispers of charm and deceit, and at the height of their calling they become a walking dawn — a nimbus of holy fire that burns the wicked simply for standing near. To swear this oath is to promise to be genuinely good, and to be given the strength to manage it.

3rd Level

Oath of Devotion Spells

Your vow keeps a suite of spells always ready as you rise: Protection from Evil and Good and Shield of Faith at 3rd; Aid and Zone of Truth at 5th; Beacon of Hope and Dispel Magic at 9th; Freedom of Movement and Guardian of Faith at 13th; and Commune and Flame Strike at 17th — the working liturgy of a protector and a beacon.

3rd Level

Sacred Weapon

When you take the Attack action, you can expend a use of Channel Divinity to fill a melee weapon with holy light for 10 minutes. You add your Charisma modifier to attack rolls with it (minimum +1), each hit can deal its normal type or Radiant damage, and the weapon sheds Bright Light in a 20-foot radius — a blade that is quite literally a beacon in your hand.

7th Level

Aura of Devotion

Your conviction steels the minds around you. You and your allies have Immunity to the Charmed condition while within your Aura of Protection — and any charmed ally who steps into the aura is freed of it while they remain. No whisper or enchantment turns a friend against you inside the light you cast.

15th Level

Smite of Protection

Your righteous bursts now shelter as they strike. Whenever you cast Divine Smite, you and your allies gain Half Cover while in your Aura of Protection until the start of your next turn — the same radiant power that punishes your foe momentarily hardening the air around your friends.

20th Level

Holy Nimbus

You become a living dawn. As a Bonus Action, you imbue your Aura of Protection with holy power for 10 minutes: you have Advantage on saves forced by Fiends and Undead; every enemy that starts its turn in the aura takes Radiant damage equal to your Charisma modifier + your Proficiency Bonus; and the aura fills with Bright Light that is sunlight. Once used, you recover it on a Long Rest — or by spending a level 5 spell slot.
