channel divinity option, you only select one of the
damage type's effects.
Thunder damage: The target must succeed on a
Constitution Saving Throw or become disoriented, as
the thunderous force impacts its senses. While
disoriented, the target has disadvantage on attack
rolls and ability checks. This effect lasts until the
target finishes a short or long rest.
Lightning damage: The target must succeed on a
Constitution Saving Throw or be paralyzed until the
start of your next turn.
Storm Shield. As an action, you cause the air around
you to pick up in a localized storm, defending you
and nearby creatures.
The Storm Shield appears in a 15ft diameter sphere
centered on yourself, and moves with you. For 1
minute, you gain a +1 to your armor class, and when
an enemy within 10 feet of you hits you with an
attack, they take lightning damage equal to 1d10 +
your paladin level.
Additionally, other creatures within the Storm
Shield has a +1 to their armor class against attacks
made from outside the Storm Shield's radius. The
effect ends early if you go unconscious.
Eye of the Storm
Starting at 20th level, you become a herald of nature's
wrath.
While in stormy weather conditions, you gain
immunity to thunder, lightning and cold damage,
and you can cast the Call Lightning spell at will while
in these conditions. This damage immunity does not
prevent the activation of your Overcharge oath
feature.
Additionally, once per long rest you use an action
to change the weather conditions for up to 8 hours, as
if casting the Control Weather spell, with the
following changes: Each change of the weather's
condition only takes 1 minute (rather than 1d4 x 10
minutes). If the spell ends from you involuntarily
losing concentration, the current weather effects
remain until the full 8 hour duration has passed, or
until another spell or ability changes the weather
conditions in a similar manner.

Voice of the Tempest

Starting at 7th level, you command a presence
worthy of the elements.
As an action, you can force every creature you
choose in a 20ft. radius centered on yourself to make
a wisdom saving through or be frightened of you for
1 minute. If the creature is an elemental, they are not
frightened, but instead charmed by you for the same
duration or until you or your allies do anything
harmful to it.
While charmed this way, an elemental considers
you an ally, and if they fail their saving throw by 5 or
more, you can use your bonus action on subsequent
turns to give them commands that they will follow on
their turn. You can issue any command you choose,
short of an activity that would result in certain death.
Should you issue a suicidal command, the effect ends.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to
your charisma modifier (minimum of 1). All uses are
restored upon completing a long rest.

Overcharge
Starting at 15th level, you gain resistance to thunder
and lightning damage. Also, when you are hit or
affected by a source of damage that deals either of
these two damage types, you can use your reaction to
harness its power, imbuing yourself with its
destructive force for 1 minute.
The next time you deal damage of the type that
triggered your Overcharge, you deal maximum
damage, instead of rolling. Once you use this feature,
it cannot be used again until you finish a short or
long rest.
