Jan 28, 2015  I think this is my first post. I've played since I was about 15, through 3.5 and 4th edition. When 5th got teased, I knew it was going to be pretty much exactly what I wanted in an RPG edition. I've been reading pretty much every guide I can get my hands on, and DMing the HotDQ adventure (with some choice fixes that I've found around the web and come up with myself). An oathbreaker is a paladin who breaks their sacred oaths to pursue some dark ambition or serve an evil power. Whatever light burned in the paladin's heart been extinguished. Only darkness remains.

• 1Oath of the Antipaladin

Oath of the Antipaladin[edit]

Not all paladins swear loyalty to goodness, honor and morality. Some serve evil deities or their own ambitions. These 'Antipaladins' bend others to the will of their depravity, sin and their master (if they acknowledge one.)

Tenets of the Antipaladin[edit]

They Must Bow: you are the master of darkness, and you will be remembered.

Do What You Must: seek out chaos and see it quelled. Follow through by any means necessary.

Forget Everything: who you were before was merely the beginning. You have found a new purpose: a new you.

Embrace the Darkness: the darkness thrives where light is banished. Embrace the darkness, learn to use it against those who would hide within.

Oath of the Antipaladin Spells[edit]

Channel Divinity[edit]

When you take this Oath at 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Divinity options.

• Dreadful Aspect: as an action, you channel the darkest emotions and focus them into a burst of magical menace. Each creature of your choice within 30 feet of you must make a Charisma saving throw if it can see you. On a failed save, the target is fFightened of you for 1 minute. If a creature frightened by this effect ends its turn more than 30 feet away from you, it can attempt another Charisma saving throw against your Paladin DC to end the effect on it.

• Invoke Agony: as an action, you present your holy symbol, invoking your dark master's power to inflict misery. Choose a creature you can see within 60 feet. The creature makes a Wisdom saving throw against your Paladin DC. On a failure, the creature is prone for 1 minute due to the pain inflicted upon them. While prone because of this effect, the creature can't take reactions or bonus actions. At the beginning of each of its turns, the creature may repeat the saving throw. On a failure, the creature must remain prone. On a success, the creature can stand back up again, having been freed from this effect

Baleful Touch[edit]

Upon choosing this Oath at level 3, you can no longer use Lay on Hands on another creature. You can still use it on yourself, however. As an action you may attempt to touch a target and draw on the negative forces and cast Bestow curse. Using this action consumes 10 points from your pool.Also, damage dealt by your Divine Smite class feature is dealt as necrotic, not radiant.

Aura of Malice[edit]

Starting at 7th level, any creatures allied to you within 10 feet of you and you gain a bonus to melee weapon damage rolls equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of +1). A creature can benefit from this feature from only one antipaladin at a time. At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet.

Dark Resistance[edit]

At 15th level, you gain resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from non-magical weapons.

Dread Lord[edit]

At 20th-level, as an action you can surround yourself with an aura of gloom that lasts for 1 minute. The aura reduces any bright light in a 30-foot radius around you to dim light. Whenever an enemy that is frightened by you starts its turn in the aura, it takes 4d10 psychic damage. Additionally, you and creatures you choose in the aura are draped in deeper shadow.

Creatures that rely on sight have disadvantage on attack rolls against creatures draped in this shadow. While the aura lasts, you can use a bonus action on your turn to cause the shadows in the aura to attack one creature. You make a melee spell attack against the target. If the attack hits, the target takes necrotic damage equal to 3d10 + your Charisma modifier.

After activating the aura, you can't do so again until your finish a long rest.

  • 1.3Class Features

Oathbreaker[edit]

If a paladin willfully violates their Oaths and shows no sign of repentance and draw power from this, the consequences can be serious. An impenitent paladin might be forced to abandon their class and adopt another, such as the Oathbreaker. Paladins who break their oaths may take this class when they change from their original class, or they may choose to take this class instead of taking an oath.

Creating an Oathbreaker[edit]

If a paladin willfully violates their oath and shows no sign of repentance, the consequences can be serious. An impenitent paladin might be forced to abandon their class, and adopt another. Whether through force of will, or corruption, the Oathbreaker follows a different path. A player can choose to follow the Oathbreaker progression from level 1 and as such never pick an oath, or the player may choose to switch to Oathbreaker upon breaking their oath. Once an Oathbreaker, the paladin abilities are transformed into new abilities as if they had always been that way.

Tenets of a Broken Oath[edit]

Godless. The gods lie. The power they would grant you was already yours to command.

Oathless. I will take no oaths. I will follow no laws of god or man. I am subject to my own will alone.

Wordless What one says is meaningless. What you do, is what you are.

Merciless Those who are bound to the will of others must be freed. Those who fail to exercise their own will must be purged.

Sinful Sense[edit]

When you are in the presence of people who committed a sinful act, they start to show signs that reveal to the practiced eye an idea of what they did. As an action, you can open your awareness to detect such signs. Until the end of your next turn, you can sense if a person within 60 ft. has done any good or bad act or deed, you will know if the deed is good or bad and also the person who committed the act; however, you can't know what is the deed itself. Within the same radius, you also detect the presence of any place or object that has been used or have a connection to the act.

You touch upon your unyielding will to drive you and your comrades onward, and break your enemies will as well. That will grants you a certain motivational power that returns to you when you take a long rest.

As an action With your will, you can recover hit points equal to your oathbreaker level x 5.

You can motivate a creature and grant power from will to restore a number of hit points to that creature, up to the maximum amount remaining in your pool.

Great Weapon FightingWhen you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for an attack you make with a melee weapon that you are wielding with two hands, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll. The weapon must have the two-handed or versatile property for you to gain this benefit.

ProtectionWhen a creature you can see attacks a target other than you that is within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the attack roll. You must be wielding a shield.

Spellcasting[edit]

By 2nd level, you have learned to draw on your own internal strength meditation and will to cast Spells as a Cleric does. See chapter 10 for the general rules of spellcasting and chapter 11 for the paladin spell list.

Preparing and Casting Spells

The Oathbreaker table shows how many Spell Slots you have to cast your Spells. To cast one of your oathbreaker Spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended Spell Slots when you finish a Long or Short Rest.

You prepare the list of oathbreaker Spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the oathbreaker spell list. When you do so, choose a number of oathbreaker Spells equal to your Charisma modifier + half your oathbreaker level. The Spells must be of a level for which you have Spell Slots.

For example, if you are a 5th-level oathbreaker, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level Spell Slots. With a Charisma of 14, your list of prepared Spells can include four Spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell Cure Wounds, you can cast it using a 1st-level or a 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared Spells.

You can change your list of prepared Spells when you finish a Long Rest. Preparing a new list of oathbreaker Spells requires time spent in meditation: at least 1 minute per Spell Level for each spell on your list.

Spellcasting Ability

Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your oathbreaker Spells, since their power derives from the Strength of your convictions. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when Setting the saving throw DC for a oathbreaker spell you cast and when Making an Attack roll with one.

Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier

Spell Attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier

Vicious Smite[edit]

Starting at 2nd level, when you hit a creature with a melee weapon Attack, you can expend one spell slot to deal a damage type of your choice to the target, in addition to the weapon's damage. The extra damage is 2d8 for a 1st-level spell slot, plus 1d8 for each Spell Level higher than 1st, to a maximum of 5d8. The damage increases by 1d8 if the target is bound by the will of another, if its and undead creature or if the creatures spells are derived from a deity. (the damage type can only be chosen once per attack, and must remain the same after chosen.)

Willful Health[edit]

By 3rd level, your refusal to give in makes you immune to disease and poison.

Oathless[edit]

You have either chosen not to take an oath, or to break it. This grants you features at 3rd level and again at 7th, 15th, and 20th level(Still need to come up with feature for 7th, 15th, and 20th). Those features include Oathless Spells and the Channel Will feature.

Oathless SpellsWhile paladins gain spells associated with their oath, you gain special spells due to your refusal to take one in much the same way. You can access to these spells at the levels specified in the Oathless description. Once you gain access to an oathless spell, you always have it prepared. Oathless Spells don’t count against the number of Spells you can prepare each day. (Oathless spells currently pulled from Oath of Vengeance Oath Spells, Subject to change)

Channel WillYour refusal to keep an Oath allows you to channel the power within yourself to fuel magical effects. Each Channel Will option provided by Oathless explains how to use it.When you use your Channel Will, you choose which option to use. You must then finish a short or Long Rest to use your Channel Will again.Some Channel Will effects require saving throws. When you use such an effect from this class, the DC equals your Oathbreaker spell save DC.

Turn FaithfullYou can use your Channel Will to turn the faithful away. As an action, you can focus your will and speak forceful words that will cause the faithful to question their faith in their master or god. Each effected creature with 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw. If the creature fails its saving throw, it is turned for 1 minute or until it takes damage. A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it can't willingly move to a space within 30 feet of you. It also can't take reactions. For its action, it can use only the Dash action or try to escape from an effected that prevents it from moving. If there is nowhere to move, the creature can use the Dodge action. Any creature who's spells are derived from a deity, or is bound to the will of another (such as an undead servant) has to make the wisdom save. Alternitavley an undead creature must make a Charisma saving throw DC = 10 + Charisma modifier + proficiency bonus or get controled by you (vampire spawns would be effected, but not the master vampire).

Dreadfull AspectYou channel the darkest emotions and focuses them into a burst of magical menace. Each creature of your choice within 30 feet of you must make a Charisma saving throw if it can see you. On a failed save, the target is frightened of you for 1 minute. If a creature frightened by this effect ends its turn more than 30 feet away from you, it can attempt another Charisma saving throw to end the effect on it. DC = 10 + Charisma modifier + proficiency bonus.

Extra Attack[edit]

Beginning at 5th level, you can Attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on Your Turn.

Aura of Despair[edit]

Starting at 6th level, you, as well any allies who share your oathless conviction, within 10 feet of you, gain a bonus to melee weapon damage rolls equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of +1). A creature can benefit from this feature from only one paladin at a time.

At 17th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet

Stubborn Conviction[edit]

Starting at 10th level, you and friendly creatures within 10 feet of you can't be Frightened or Charmed while you are conscious.At 17th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet.

Improved Vicious Smite[edit]

By the 11th level, your will has become so strong that all your melee weapons transmit your willful might. Whenever you hit a creature with a melee weapon, the creature takes extra 1d8 of the damage type chosen. If you also use your Vicious Smite with an attack, you add this damage to the extra damage of your Vicious Smite.

Oathbreaker Paladin 5e Book

Godless Resistance[edit]

Beginning at 14th level, you gain resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.

Godslayer[edit]

At 15th level, you can, as an bonus action, surround yourself with an aura of emptiness that lasts for 1 minute. The aura reduces any bright light in a 30-foot radius around you to dim light. Any enemy in the aura must make a DC 22 (DC 24 if they derive their power from an entity, powerful being, or god) will save to avoid being frightened. Whenever an enemy that is frightened by you starts its turn in the aura, it takes 4d10 psychic damage. These individuals are then wrecked with terrible feelings, visions, and hallucinations of emptiness or horrible acts of their god) Additionally, you and any creatures of your choosing in the aura are draped in deeper shadow. Affected Creatures see these as terrifying beings. Creatures that rely on sight have disadvantage on attack rolls against creatures draped in this shadow.

While the aura lasts, you can use a bonus action on your turn to cause the visions in the aura to attack one creature. Make a melee spell attack against the target. If the attack hits, the target takes necrotic damage equal to 3d10 + your Charisma modifier.

After activating the aura, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.

Undead Warrior[edit]

At 20th level, the gods have abandoned you to your luck, You can use your Godslayer ability a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier, but while using it this way each time it is your turn you receive 1d12 of psychic damage, progressing to 1d12 everytime it is your turn. If your hitpoints reach 0 this way you die without making any death saving throws, instead you make purge saving throws, if you succeed on all three saving throws you are stabilized, if you die your soul and body become property of a demon lord, who takes control of your body and gets summoned. There is no way to recover from this effect only by a Wish spell or Divine intervention feat.
