Paladin Subclasses
Below are some highlights of some of our favorite homebrew paladin subclasses!
Oath of the Defender
Paladins who take the Oath of the Defender have sworn themselves to protect that which they hold most dear, whether it is their loved one, people, kingdom, or adventuring group. These valiant protectors swear to give everything they have, including their lives, in the name of defending their charges. Defenders can be found in varied forms throughout the world, from shining golden knights protecting their sovereigns to simple caregivers watching over beleaguered urchins.

Oath of the Mist
The Oath of the Mist is sworn to the ideals of the implacable mist, unreadable in the strength of its silence. Secrecy and silence, aspects personified within the hovering mists, characterize the paladins who swear this oath. They often operate in anonymity, never revealing that which they know or that they even carry the secrets they do. They understand knowledge and truth has no ownership, and their role is to stand against those who claim that which does not belong to them. Paladins who follow this path are known as mist wraiths; ghosts flickering at the edge of the fog, only spoken about in whispers.

Oath of the Sun
As a member of the Circle of the Stonepulse, your druidic powers draw you to the seismic pulse of life within the earth. All druids celebrate the vitality found in nature, but where the sedentary nature of stone might seem lifeless to some, druids of the Stonepulse know there is more beneath than what appears on the surface. Druids of this circle draw the earth’s power into themselves, call allies from the ground, and bend immutable stone to their purposes.
