Paladin Subclass

Paladins who take the Templar's oath are taught how to combat spellcasters, using both their blades and the powers granted to them by their oath. Templars are often assigned to hunt down necromancers or protect people or places from powerful arcanists. Oromne, Maldos, Andralte and Laia are deities that often bolsters paladins to hunt down the forbidden practitioners to restore order or balance.

Tenets of the Templar

The tenets of the Oath of the Templar deal with governing the use of magic. Most templars are lawful.

1. Power with Responsibility: Magic grants some individuals great power. It is my duty to make sure that they wield that power responsibly.
2. Obey Rules of Magic: I will ensure that the use of magic is limited not only by imagination but also by morality.
3. Extinguish Forbidden Magic. I shall arrest and bring to justice anyone who practices Necromancy or Blood Magic without approval.

Channel Divinity 3rd-level Oath of the Templar Feature

  • Arcane Conversion: As a reaction to a creature you can see within 30 feet taking damage from a spell, you attempt to invert the spell’s energy. If the spell’s level is equal to or lower than your proficiency bonus, the creature takes no damage from the spell and instead regains 1d8 hit points per level of the spell.
  • Magic Resistance: As an action, you choose a number of creatures up to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1) that you can see within 30 feet. For 1 minute, you and the chosen creatures have advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Aura of Discordance 7th- and 18th-level Oath of the Templar Feature
