Oath of Pride[edit]
|
|---|
The Oath of Pride is a Sacred Oath that can be taken by Paladins at level 3.
The Oath of Pride wreathes its power in pursuit of ones personal desires and wants. So inwardly focused is the Paladin's view upon the world that even their very powers have twisted in order to better serve themselves. A Paladin of Pride answers not to another soul. At first glance, many may believe that to venture with such an arrogant soul would be hazardous and difficult - but quite often they will find that there is no greater force against ones enemies, and no greater ally - than the Paladin who has decided to indulge in both their defeat, and your companionship.
Tenants[edit]
Though each Pride is on their own quest of desire, many end up with the same basic tenants. These tenants are more than an oath forced upon the characters, they are the fundamental building blocks to how these paladins understand the world and function within it. It's not just a rule, it's truth. Your truth.
- Indulge. If there is something you want, and it is within your means to take - take it.
- Independence. You must be the only source for your strength, to rely on another, is to have your desires tamed and collared.
- Experience. Experience all joyous things as much as you can, for they are yours to have.
- Freedom. Shatter the chains and bones of any who would seek to bar you from your desires.

Soul of Pride[edit]
When you take this Oath at 3rd level, your features have been twisted due to your self-serving nature.
Multiclass - You are too prideful to seek any means of power besides this oath to oneself. You may not take multiclass levels in any other class.
Lay on Hands - Your Lay on Hands has reduced effectiveness while healing allies. When using Lay on Hands to heal another creature, they are healed for half (rounded down) of the amount of Lay on Hands points expended, instead of the full amount. However, the first time you are reduced to 0 HP, you can choose to expend all of your Lay on Hands pool to instead be reduced to an HP equal to the amount expended.
Aura of Protection - Your Aura of Protection no longer affects allies. In exchange you may gain an additional saving throw proficiency of your choice. You may choose an additional saving throw proficiency at level 18.
Aura of Courage - Your Aura of Courage no longer affects allies. In exchange, you are immune to the petrified and poisoned condition.
Cleansing Touch - Your Cleansing Touch can no longer be used on allies. In exchange, at the end of your turn, you can choose to end one spell currently affecting yourself.
