📋 About This Mod

****Disclaimer: I think that you can break your oath in the same ways that a Devotion Paladin can break their oath. https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Oath_of_Devotion****

Update 12/23/2024 - I added an optional file that updates the Ring of Flinging from Act 1, so that it applies the 1d4 bonus damage to your whip attacks.

Spell List.

Level 1 spells at paladin level 3:

Hunter's Mark

Healing Word

Level 2 spells at paladin level 5:

Level 3 spells at paladin level 9:

Spirit Guardians

Mass Healing Word

Level 1.

Attack: Strength

Damage: 1d6 + Strength

Damage Type: Magical Slashing

Cost: Action

Description: Ranged unarmed attack that scales with your paladin level. A ranged unarmed attack is identical to a thrown weapon attack, so the whip benefits from anything that benefits throwing like Tavern Brawler or Thrown Weapon Fighting, and it also benefits from extra attack at level 5.

Description: Turn into a dire wolf. The dire wolf is identical to the Druid's wildshape dire wolf. At paladin level 5, it benefits from your extra attack feature.

Cost: Bonus Action Point; Channel Oath Charge

Level 3. 

Remarkable Athlete

Description: This is identical to the remarkable athlete feature that the Champion Fighter gets. Add half of your Proficiency Bonus to any Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution Checks you are not Proficient in, and increase jump distance by 3m.

Spell Properties: Create a water surface

Spell Save: Dexterity against your spell save DC

Spell Success: Apply Holy Fire to targets for four turns. Holy fire does 1d4 radiant damage initially and 1d4 radiant damage at the beginning of subsequent turns. Does double damage to fey, fiends, and undead.

Additionally, a healing beam of light is generated for each target that fails the saving throw. The beam will seek out an ally within 9m who has less than their maximum hit points and heal them for 1d4 + Charisma Modifier hit points. The healing increases to 1d6 and level 7, and 1d8 at level 10.

Spell Fail: Apply Holy Fire to targets for two turns.

Cost: Bonus Action Point; Channel Oath Charge

Holy Precision

Description: You have a +1 bonus to attack rolls against any targets afflicted by Holy Fire. The bonus increases to +2 at level 7, and +3 at level 10.

Level 6.

Primal Strike

Description: Identical to Moon Druid's primal strike. While in beast form, your attacks count as magical for the purpose of overcoming Resistance and Immun

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

A homebrew Paladin subclass inspired by the Belmonts from Castlevania, featuring a whip-based playstyle. It's a fan interpretation, not an exact replica, and has a modest following with 59 endorsements and 6,389 downloads.

✨ Key Features

Homebrew Paladin subclass themed around the Belmonts from Castlevania.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Solid niche appeal for Castlevania fans (59 endorsements).
  • Decent download count (6,389) shows interest.
  • Whip-based combat adds a unique flavor to Paladins.

⚠️ Cons

  • Small mod with limited reach (59 endorsements).
  • Not an exact replica, so purists may be disappointed.
  • No detailed feature list, so you'll have to test it to see what's included.

For D&D players who love Castlevania and want a Belmont-flavored Paladin. If you're looking for a mechanically rich, well-documented subclass, this might be too bare-bones. Skip if you prefer official content or need detailed descriptions.
