Oath of Courage

Paladins who take this oath strive to never shy from a call for help or a call to arms. They follow in the footsteps of the Hero of Time, living by his example to protect Hyrule and all of its inhabitants. While some think of these paladins as fearless, the truth is that they all might be scared at one time or another, but they put their faith in their goddess, their blade, and their skills as they throw themselves between danger and those that cannot protect themselves.

Tenets of Courage

Accept Your Fear. You know full well that fear is a part of everyday life on the battlefront, and trying to brush it off or fight against it will ultimately fail. Instead, you accept your fear and charge forward despite it.

Protect the Unprotected. Not everyone has the means to protect themselves, whether that be physically or verbally. You never ignore a chance to stand up to bullies, easing the pressure off their victims and helping them back up once the danger has passed.

Serve with Honor. You are called to help the people of Hyrule not just with your blade, but with your service as well. Some take time to lend their strength to villagers hauling grain up a hill, some keep an eye on children playing in the street. No matter the task, you strive to never withhold help when it is in your power to act.

Channel Divinity

You call upon Hylia to aid you in your endeavor, granting you the means to rise above your challenge in various ways.

Hylia's Courage. As an action, you ask Hylia for courage and are granted immunity to fear for a full minute.

Hylia's Aid. If one of your allies is unconscious, stunned, or grappled, is within 10 feet of you, and is about to be attacked, you may, as a reaction, put yourself between them and an attacker, taking the full force of the blow instead. If the attacker is standing right next to the ally (within melee range), you push the attacker back five feet and step into the spot they previously occupied. If your ally is grappled, you may roll a strength contest (check) to break the grapple for them.
