Oath of Protection is a modded Subclass of Paladin that focuses on using its Channel Oath Charges on new shield-related abilities, with defensive oriented Oath Spells.

"You are an ardent defender of the Light, using holy magic to shield yourself and defend allies from attackers."

• Avenger's Shield

Choose how you will unleash divine might upon your foes.

Choose to either get Divine Smite like base subclasses, or get the Holy Power passive.

Your maximum number of Channel Oath Charges becomes equal to your maximum number of Lay on Hands Charges.

You learn 4 new Oath Spells that are always prepared. They can come from the list of Paladin Channel Oath Abilities or the two traditional spells below

• Protection from Evil and Good
• Shield of Faith

• Protection from Poison
• Warding Bond

You restore 1 Channel Oath Charge whenever an enemy critically misses you in combat.

• Protection from Energy
• Beacon of Hope

Choose how you will further unleash divine might upon your foes.

Choose to either get Improved Divine Smite like base subclasses, or get the Divine Purpose passive

Your attacks and spells in combat have a 20% chance to make your next Channel Oath ability not expend any Channel Oath charges. Critical Hits against Paralyzed enemies will only trigger this Once per Long Rest.
