Paladin - Oath of Storms
P
aladins who swear the Oath of Storms commit
themselves to a restless life. They are to be the
first frontier against forces of evil; to strike it
down fiercely before it can do harm. Their
belief is that in order to fight the adversaries of
chaos, one must wield chaos itself. This
devotion to their cause often leaves behind a
trail of destruction, not unlike a real storm has passed
through. This causes many to consider the paladins of the
Oath of the Storm to be reckless and some even consider
them to be even more dangerous than the evil they fight.
Paladins swearing this Oath usually lean towards Neutral or
Chaotic alignments.
Tenets of the Storm
The chaotic nature of the Storm makes some question the
necessity or legitimacy of these tenets, but nevertheless these
are the words that have been passed down for countless
generations by warriors who have lived and died by them.
Bright as Lightning. Become the shining beacon of the
storm. Stand proud in the face of adversity with your hands
and weapons up to the skies.
Loud as Thunder. State your allegiance loud and proud.
An approaching storm can be seen from miles away. Don’t
lower yourself to trickery.
Swift as the Wind. You must never stay too long in one
place and change like the wind itself. Your justice and
retribution must be swift and fast: evil is never bound in one
place and neither should you.
Calm before the Storm. Be patient, but do not be
hesitant. When evil does not yield, strike without thinking
twice.
Eye of the Storm. Don’t let surrounding chaos cloud your
mind. Be the beacon of light in otherwise dark skies.

Channel Divinity
When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following
two Channel Divinity options.
Thunderflash. As an action, you raise your hand or
weapon to the skies to unleash a thunderous discharge. Each
creature other than you within a 10 foot sphere centered on
you must make a Constitution saving throw, or be
incapacitated and blinded until the end of your next turn, and
deafened for 1 minute. The thunderous sound is audible from
300 feet away.

Gale Strike. You speak a word of power, causing up to two
melee weapons of your choice that you are currently holding
to gain the Thrown (20/60) property. This effect lasts for 1
minute, ending early on a weapon when you make an attack
roll with it. An affected weapon is considered magical for the
purposes of overcoming damage resistance and immunity.
When you take the Attack action and make a ranged attack
with an affected weapon as part of the action, you can use
your bonus action to recall the weapon to a free hand.
Divine Conduit
When you take this oath at 3rd level, you can choose to
convert any radiant damage you deal into lightning damage.
Aura of the Tempest
Starting at 7th level, you and friendly creatures within 10 feet
of you gain resistance to lightning and thunder damage. In
addition, friendly creatures that start their turn in the aura, or
move into the aura on their turn, can move an additional 10
feet until the end of their turn.
At 18th level, the radius of this aura extends to 30 feet.
Breaker of Winds
Starting at 15th level, you take half damage from falling and
cannot be knocked prone while you are conscious, unless you
choose to do so. Whenever a willing and conscious creature
within your Aura of the Tempest would be knocked prone,
you can use your reaction to prevent them from being
knocked prone.
Avatar of the Tempest
At 20th level, you can use your action to become a
thunderous beacon of the storms. For 1 minute, heavy winds
surround you and lightning crackles along your skin, arcing
off your body to nearby surfaces or clouds. You gain the
following effects:
You are immune to lightning and thunder damage.
You gain a flight speed of 40 feet.
Any creature you choose that starts its turn within 10 feet
of you takes 2d8 lightning damage. Additionally, any
creature that touches you or hits you with a melee attack,
takes 2d8 lightning damage.
You can use your action to send out blasts of lightning.
Target one creature within 60 ft. The target must succeed
on a Constitution saving throw (using your Paladin spell
save DC) or take 4d8 lightning damage and be pushed
back up to 10 ft. and knocked prone. On a successful save
the target takes half damage and isn’t pushed or knocked
prone.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you
finish a long rest.
