Alternate Paladin - Alpha Update
Added 2024-03-03 20:10:42 +0000 UTCHey all - I got a ton of really great feedback on my last Alpha version of the Alternate Paladin, so I decided to go ahead and make some changes while the iron was hot! Let me know what you think in the comments below or over on Discord!

NOTABLE CHANGES:
Channel Oath:
Now, at 1st level, when you take your Sacred Oath, you gain the ability to "Channel the power of your Sacred Oath" to produce divine effects. This is a pseudo-replacement for Channel Divinity which allows each Oath to produce wondrous effects at 1st level.
Divine Regeneration:
A somewhat new 3rd level feature that allows you to either regain spell slots or Channel Oath uses when you finish a short rest, once per day. A nice little buff to a half-caster that doesn't get as many spell slots as a full-powered spellcaster.
Divine Sense/Purifying Touch:
Now free once per short/long rest, and additional uses are fueled by Channel Oath.
Sacred Oaths:
Each Sacred Oath now gets a "passive" (always on) feature at 1st level and another feature that is fueled by Channel Oath. At 2nd level, each Sacred Oath now gets a signature "Oath Smite" which is also fueled by Channel Oath.
The Oathless:
This has been reworked to be less of a tempting option for power-gamers, and more for players that have failed in their Sacred Oath but still want to be a Paladin (and not a Fighter).
Comments
Not currently - been kicking around the idea of making the Avenger a full class actually!

2024-03-06 15:59:14 +0000 UTCAre you planning on swapping out the slots for the spell point system like the Avenger Rogue subclass?

2024-03-04 03:23:39 +0000 UTCMost likely! Maybe an exception here and there, but that is the plan for now.

2024-03-04 01:18:08 +0000 UTCDo you eventually plan to add more unique smites for each subclass offical and your own?

2024-03-03 21:52:13 +0000 UTCI suppose there is a rule that can be implemented. It was designed to be added to the class. So it's possible to do it with this

2024-03-03 21:50:55 +0000 UTCBeing totally honest - I don't see a version where I de-couple Smite from Spell slots.

2024-03-03 21:48:09 +0000 UTCI like the individual Unique Smites for each subclass. Shame it still requires spell slots.
