Alternate Paladin - Sneak Peek! (Patreon)

Hey all,

I've been working on this one on and off in the background (along with another unnamed Alternate Class), and inspired by the recent poll on Discord I've decided to share a sneak peek with Patrons!

Proficiencies - Haven't messed with these yet, not sure it needs it.

Channel Divinity - Moved up to 1st level, Divine Sense has also been rolled into here.

Fighting Style - Added a few of my Alternate and new options here.

Spellcasting - The Paladin is now a "Spells Known" caster.

Divine Smite - This can now be used with any “weapon attack” (weapons, unarmed strikes, and natural weapons). Wanna be a Minotaur that Smites with their horns? Go for it!

Sacred Oath - Still at 3rd level (will probably add sometime about you being an initiate until you formally swear your Oath at 3rd). All Oaths have three Tenets, and there are rules for breaking your Oath (gasp). Feel free to remove it in your games, but I’m pretty set on this being included.

You also get thematic Oath Spells that are added to your Spells Known and one Channel Divinity.

Aura of Protection - Hold your pitchforks because this is another big change. Instead of adding your CHA modifier to all saves, creatures in your Aura are proficient in all saves while they are there.

Your Aura’s radius will also scale every few levels instead of just one big jump at 18th.

Divine Health - moved up to 9th level and buffed a bit to give poison damage resistance. Keep in mind that you get 3rd-level spells here as well so this feature doesn’t need to be super strong.

Sacred Oaths - No huge changes here. Some adjustments to their Oath Spells and Tenets from the PHB. Devotion’s CD is a bonus action, Ancient’s CD is an AoE root (pun intended) effect, and Vengeance’s 7th level feature has been changed a bit. I’ve also included my Oathless Paladin subclass.
