Oath of Glory - Paladin Subclass

Oath of Glory - Paladin Subclass

Paladins who take the Oath of Glory believe they and their companions are destined to achieve glory through deeds of heroism. They train diligently and encourage their companions so they're all ready when destiny calls. Published in both the Mythic Odysseys of Theros and Tasha's Cauldron of Everything sourcebooks, the Oath of Glory is a paladin subclass based on heroes from Greek myth who have been blessed by the gods. In the tabletop game, this subclass is all about improving the Paladin's physical skills, imbuing them with increased strength and speed that allows them to carry out heroic deeds in pursuit of glory.

  []Discipline the Soul. You must marshal the discipline to overcome failings within yourself that threaten to dim the glory of you and your friends.

 Implementation Notes: While these are just the flavor of the subclass, it is important to note that I tagged this subclass so it should have the same oath breaking conditions as Devotion paladins. For now, the dialogue options will be noted as Devotion paladins, too.

Level 1 - Mighty Deeds - You can use your Channel Oath as a bonus action to invoke the gods to guide your movements. For 2 turns, your weapon attacks score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20, and enemies have Disadvantage on Opportunity Attacks against you.

Implementation Notes: In BG3, Larian opted to give paladins an additional Channel Oath option at Level 1, probably due to paladin subclasses not having any features between levels 7 and 12.  I wanted to follow the same patterns for balance, and luckily an early version of the Oath of Glory (Heroism) had a Ch
