Paladin
Information
Paladins are people who make an oath with a god in-order to channel their divinity through you. The oath can take any form as long as it is in a format that gets the conditions across. Casting spells and such aren't using the caster's power but instead the power from their god. When a paladin reaches level 20, something will happen...Sub-class Options

Roll Xd10, where X is equal to your paladin level, and add your proficiency to the total as radiant damage. The divine energy surges forth, enveloping the creature that harmed you.

They suffer from disadvantage when making attack rolls against you. Channel Divinity: Regretful Wings
As bonus action, You form black wings from your back for 1 minute.

Regretful Aura
Starting at 6th level, you gain a 10ft aura. When an enemy launches an attack against an ally within your aura's range, your regretful presence allows your enemies to react swiftly.

Its movement is 60ft fly speed, and it has a 30ft blindsight.

- Echo of Repentance: As a reaction when you or an ally within 30 feet of you fails a saving throw, the Aspect can evoke an echo of repentance. The echo grants advantage on the saving throw, allowing your allies to rectify their mistakes and avoid the worst consequences of their actions.
- Crippling Gloom: As an action, the Aspect can release a wave of somber energy in a 15-foot cone. Creatures caught in the cone must make a Wisdom saving throw against your Paladin spell save DC. On a failed save, they are overcome with feelings of guilt and sorrow, suffering from the Frightened condition for 1 minute. They can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of their turns to end the effect.
- Redemption's Embrace: Once per long rest as an action, the Aspect can envelop an ally in a radiant aura of redemption. The chosen ally gains temporary hit points equal to your Paladin level + your Charisma modifier and gains advantage on saving throws against being charmed or frightened. This radiant protection lasts for 1 minute or until the aspect dies.
- Burden of Atonement: The Aspect can bear the burden of your allies' physical and mental afflictions. As a reaction, it can redirect an attack that would hit an ally within 10 feet of it to target itself instead. Additionally, it can absorb the effects of a harmful condition or charm directed at an ally, shielding them from its impact.

Bonding Charge Blade
When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the ability to summon a Charge Blade through a 1-hour ritual. This ritual creates a magical bond between you and the Charge Blade, allowing you to summon it to your hand at will.

You gain proficiency with the Charge Blade, and for the purpose of martial weapons, it counts as a Longsword. Channel Divinity: Phial Surge
Starting at 3rd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to unleash a surge of magical energy through your Charge Blade. As a bonus action, you can activate Phial Surge, enhancing your attacks with divine power. For the next minute, whenever you hit a creature with your Charge Blade and expend a spell slot to smite, you gain a number of phials equal to the level of the spell slot used.

As a bonus action, you can shift your Charge Blade into a Greataxe, its form crackling with elemental energy. The Greataxe gains a bonus to hit equal to the number of phials you currently have. After this transformation, your next attack with the Greataxe expends all accumulated phials, dealing an additional amount of damage equal to the number of phials in the form of extra d8s then reverts back into your charge blade longsword after the attack or if the channel divinity ends. Any Phials left after your channel divinity has ended will heal you for 5 hit points per phial. 7th Level Feature

Sustained Charge

When you use a smite while wielding your Charge Blade in its Greataxe form, the transformation persists as long as you continue to expend spell slots on smites and have phials left equal to the spell slot expended. The transformation still ends if you run out of phials or if you stop using spell slots for smites. 20th Level Feature
