Oath of Glory Paladin: A Hero's Path to Power
The Paladin class saw some major improvements in the 2024 Player’s Handbook, making them more versatile and powerful than ever. While all paladins benefited from changes like expanded smite mechanics and stronger auras, the Oath of Glory shines especially bright.
This oath is ideal for players who want their paladin to feel like a figure out of legend: a warrior who inspires allies, stands unshaken against evil, and performs feats that echo through history.
Paladin Power-Up
Paladins across the board received enhancements that improve their role as both frontline defenders and radiant damage dealers. Here are the key updates every Glory Paladin enjoys:
Radiant Aura
- Paladins now have a bigger, bolder Aura of Protection that helps their friends stay safe in battle. This aura also gives a bit of extra health at higher levels, making paladins even tougher to take down.
Smite with Spells
- One of the most exciting changes is the ability to apply Divine Smite to spells. Before, paladins could only smite with weapon attacks. Now, combining smite with spells like Guiding Bolt or Wrathful Smite allows for devastating bursts of damage and opens creative new playstyles.
Turn the Unholy
- The 2024 rules expand the effectiveness of Turn the Unholy, allowing paladins to repel demons, undead, and other fiendish forces with greater potency. This makes Glory Paladins even more effective in campaigns where unholy foes abound.
The Oath of Glory: A Hero's Path
The Oath of Glory embodies bravery, heroism, and the pursuit of greatness. It is the subclass for players who want to channel the epic feel of Greek demigods or legendary champions from myth.
Tenets of Glory
- These are the core beliefs of the Oath of Glory, and they remain the same. It's all about facing challenges head-on, being brave, and training both your body and mind.
Inspiring Smite
- Now you can share your Divine Smite power with a friend, making your whole team stronger.
- Aura of Alacrity
- Get ready to move like the wind! This aura makes you and your allies faster, perfect for dodging attacks or rushing to help a friend in need.
Peerless Athlete
- This ability lets you or a friend perform amazing feats of strength and agility, like jumping over obstacles or catching a falling comrade.
Living Legend
- At the highest level, you become a true legend. You'll be harder to hit, more persuasive, and able to bend the odds in your favor.
