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!

(P.S. I've also included a PDF of the Alpha Alt Paladin below!)
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).

Not currently - been kicking around the idea of making the Avenger a full class actually!
Kelly Mitchell
Are you planning on swapping out the slots for the spell point system like the Avenger Rogue subclass?
laserllama
Eventually yes! The goal is to get the base class feeling good first, then I can add more stuff.
Sylas Grimm
Are you planning anything along the lines of the Oathbreaker from thee original class?
laserllama
Most likely! Maybe an exception here and there, but that is the plan for now.
Dracs
Do you eventually plan to add more unique smites for each subclass offical and your own?
Dracs
I 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
laserllama
Being totally honest - I don't see a version where I de-couple Smite from Spell slots.
Dracs
I like the individual Unique Smites for each subclass. Shame it still requires spell slots.
