Paladin: Oath of the Open Road | New Subclass! (Patreon)

Paladins who swear the Oath of the Open Road are bound to protect the spirit, safety, and sanctity of exploration. These nomadic defenders see themselves as guardians of the roads less traveled, protecting those who journey them and ensuring the safety of travelers in a world that brims with adventure. Theirs is a calling rooted in the ethos of freedom, embracing the journey itself as a pilgrimage toward self-discovery and enlightenment.

• Travel fearlessly over challenging terrain!
• Enable your allies to move without fear of opportunity attacks!
• Speak to anyone within your aura as if you shared a language!
• Use the Help action from range as a bonus action!

Since not all subclasses are tied to a specific setting in Saddlebag Year 5, consider the following pre-existing settings to align this with.

• Amphibios
• Antronec
• Breezeport
• Cards and Carabans
• Crest City
• Direstone
• Hearth
• Heavensteppe
• The Rocborne
• Val Linsen
