Oath of Zeal - Paladin Subclass

This is an adaptation of the Oath of Zeal Paladin subclass by Ghostfire Gaming, as close to rules as written as I could get it:

Compatibility Framework is supported natively

Merged progression is supported natively

This subclass has progression to level 20. You don't need a mod to increase the level cap, you just won't get the level 13-20 features

Visual aura effects handled by Visual Paladin Auras

Icon by Kilay

Subclass Features:

Tenets of Zeal:

1st-level Oath of Zeal feature

The tenets of the Oath of Zeal are serious and severe, as are those paladins who choose to take them.

Uncover Corruption. Darkness cannot abide the light of day. Wickedness must be revealed before it can be destroyed.

Purge the Heretics. Heresy is a tumour that spreads through the hearts of the innocent. Cut it out at the source.

No Mercy. The righteous path requires unwavering conviction and unflinching resolve.

By Any Means Necessary. There is no sacrifice too great when it comes to defeating the wicked. - Implementation notes:

- You are tagged as Oath of Vengeance, all Oathbreaking rules & dialogue for Vengeance will apply

Channel Oath:

1st-level Oath of Zeal feature

Zealous Avenger: As a bonus action, choose a creature that you can see within 9 meters (30 feet), that creature gains 3 meters (10 feet) additional movement speed for 3 turns and is immune to difficult terrain. - Implementation notes:

- Since Larian gave all the Paladin subclasses a Channel Oath ability at level 1, I've done the same for this one.

- I've tried to create a thematic ability that's both strong but not overpowered, hopefully it's a success

- Progression:

- Level 1: Gain Zealous Avenger

Channel Oath:

3rd-level Oath of Zeal feature

At 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Oath options:

Mark of the Heretic: You can use your Channel Oath to mark a creature as a heretic. As a bonus action, choose a creature you can see within 30 feet and a weeping symbol appears on it. For the next minute, your weapon attacks against the chosen creature score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20, and each time the creature's turn starts you can use your reaction to make one weapon attack against it.

Inquisitor's Eye: You can use your Channel Oath to open your senses to hidden signs of corruption and malfeasance. As a bonus action, you grant yourself advantage on Intelligence (Investigation), Wisdom (Insight), and Wisdom (Perception) ability checks for the next 10 minutes. During this time, you can't be surprised. - I
