Oath of Resistance - Paladin Subclass

🛡 OATH OF RESISTANCE 🛡

You have sworn yourself, not to the gods but to your allies, in a constant struggle for freedom that must be won - by guile, beside your brethren, and by any means necessary.

Tenets of Resistance

Solidarity. Support the weak so that they might rise up in strength.

Cunning. Work in the shadows to light the way to freedom.

Unity. Together, united, you will never be defeated.

Ruthlessness. When the enemy has no virtue, violence is no evil.

I really enjoyed adding lots of texture through both the gameplay design and the narrative for this concept - see the "Playing the Oath of Resistance" section below for the latter! I wanted to create a paladin with a unique twist on their typical style of fighting and protection. I hope comes through with the aura and rebel tactics abilities in particular. Enjoy!
