This winter-themed paladin uses the fury of a blizzard and the crushing patience of a glacier to destroy the forces of darkness!

OATH OF THE WINTERGUARD

Paladin Oaths

At 3rd level, each paladin swears an oath that binds them as a paladin and forever defines their cause. The following Oath of the Winterguard option is available to all paladins along with the typical archetypes. It grants features at 3rd level and again at 7th, 15th, and 20th level. Those features include oath spells and the Channel Divinity feature.

Oath of the Winterguard

The Oath of the Winterguard draws its power from the winter spirit, embodying the force of destruction and renewal that winter brings. Winterguard Paladins are forged in the bitter cold of winter's wrath, and their resolve is hardened by its brutality. As protectors of the weak, they can break the will of their enemies when necessary.

Tenets of the Winterguard

The tenants of the Oath of the Winterguard are taught through exposure to the harsh northern climes. Their lessons are etched into the bodies and souls of each paladin of this faith.

• Shield Your Own. Protect those you are bound to from all harm, and lay down your own life in their defense. We are the shield against the storm.

• Strike Fear in the Enemy. Let your enemies feel the blizzard’s fury and know its unforgiving power. We are winter’s wrath.

• Freeze the Wicked. Reach out with icy hands to weaken the might of the forces of darkness. By our hands, evil shall be stopped cold.
