Phoenix Born - Oath of the Ancient Path
Oath of the Ancients (Phoenix Born)
The Oath of the Ancients is as old as the race of elves and the rituals of the druids. Paladins that make an oath with are so metimes called Phoenix Knight, Red Knights, Knights of, paladins who swear this oath cast their lot
with the side of the light and fire, the cosmic struggle against darkness, because they love the beautiful and life -giving things of the world, not necessarily because they believe in principles of honor, courage, and justice.
They adorn their armor and clothing with images of the Phoenix, Flames, or Suns, —to reflect their commitment to preserving life and light in the world.

Tenets of the Ancients Oath Spells

The tenets of the Oath of the Ancients have been preserved for uncounted centuries. This oath emphasizes While some of these spells are already a part of the paladin’s spell list, the phoenix wants to make sure

Channel Divinity
When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Divinity options.
1. All Consuming Fire: You can use your Channel Divinity to invoke primeval forces to ensnare a foe. As an action, you can cause Flaming tendrils to spring up and reach for a creature within 10 feet of you that you can
see. The creature must succeed on a Strength or Dexterity saving throw (its choice) or be restrained. While restrained by the tendrils, the creature repeats the saving throw at the end of each of its turns. On a success,
it frees itself and the tendrils vanish.
2. Turn back the Darkness: You can use your Channel Divinity to utter ancient words that are painful for undead and fiends to hear. As an action, you present your holy symbol, and each undead or fiend within 30 feet of
you that can hear you must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is turned for 1 minute or until it takes damage. A turned creature must spend its turns trying to moves far away from you as it
can, and it can't willingly move to a space within 30 feet of you. It also can't take reactions. For its action, it can use only the Dash action try to escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If there's nowhere to
move, the creature can use the Dodge action. If the creature's true form is concealed by an illusion, shape-shifting, or other effect, that form is revealed while it is turned.

Aura of Warding
Beginning at 7th level, ancient magic lies so heavily upon you that it forms an eldritch ward. You and friendly creatures wit hin 10 feet of you have resistance to damage from spells. At 18th level, the range of this aura
increases to 30 feet.

Undying Sentinel
Starting at 15th level, when you are reduced to 0 hit points and are not killed outright, you can choose to drop to 1 hit poi nt instead. Once you use this ability, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest. Additionally,
you suffer none of the drawbacks of old age, and you can't be aged magically.

Elder Champion
At 20th level, you can assume the form of an ancient force of nature, taking on an appearance you choose. Using your action, you undergo a transformation.
For 1 minute, you gain the following benefits:
• At the start of each of your turns, you regain 10 hit points.
• Whenever you cast a paladin spell that has a casting time of 1 action, you can cast it using a bonus action instead.
• Enemy creatures within 10 feet of you have disadvantage on saving throws against your paladin spells and Channel Divinity opt ions.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Ask me no more if east or west, the Phoenix builds her spicy nest; For unto you at last she flies, and in your fragrant bosom dies.
