They train diligently and encourage their companions, so they're all ready when destiny calls. These paladins share the following tenets: - Endeavor to be known by your deeds. - Face hardships with courage. - Inspire others to strive for glory. ### Oath of Glory Spells (Level 3) The magic of your oath ensures you always have certain spells ready; when you reach a Paladin level specified in the Oath of Glory Spells table, you thereafter always have the listed spells prepared. **Oath of Glory Spells** | Paladin Level | Spells | |---------------|--------| | 3rd | [Guiding Bolt](guiding-bolt-xphb.md), [Heroism](heroism-xphb.md) | | 5th | [Enhance Ability](enhance-ability-xphb.md), [Magic Weapon](magic-weapon-xphb.md) | | 9th | [Haste](haste-xphb.md), [Protection from Energy](protection-from-energy-xphb.md) | | 13th | [Compulsion](compulsion-xphb.md), [Freedom of Movement](freedom-of-movement-xphb.md) | | 17th | [Legend Lore](legend-lore-xphb.md), [Yolande's Regal Presence](yolandes-regal-presence-xphb.md) | ^oath-of-glory-spells ### Inspiring Smite (Level 3) Immediately after you cast [Divine Smite](divine-smite-xphb.md), you can expend one use of your Channel Divinity and distribute [Temporary Hit Points](temporary-hit-points-xphb.md) to creatures of your choice within 30 feet of yourself, which can include you. The total number of [Temporary Hit Points](temporary-hit-points-xphb.md) equals `2d8` plus your Paladin level, divided among the chosen creatures however you like. ### Peerless Athlete (Level 3) As a [Bonus Action](bonus-action-xphb.md), you can expend one use of your Channel Divinity to augment your athleticism. For 1 hour, you have [Advantage](advantage-xphb.md) on Strength ([Athletics](skills.md#Athletics)) and Dexterity ([Acrobatics](skills.md#Acrobatics)) checks, and the distance of your Long and High Jumps increases by 10 feet (this extra distance costs movement as normal). ### Aura of Alacricity (Level 7) Your Speed increases by 10 feet. In addition, whenever an ally enters your Aura of Protection for the first time on a turn or starts their turn there, the ally's [Speed](speed-xphb.md) increases by 10 feet until the end of their next turn. ### Glorious Defense (Level 15) You can turn defense into a sudden strike. When you or another creature you can see within 10 feet of you is hit by an attack roll, you can take a [Reaction](reaction-xphb.md) to grant a bonus to the target's AC against that attack, potentially causing it to miss. The bonus equals your Charisma modifier (minimum of +1). If the attack misses, you can make one attack with a weapon against the attacker as part of this [Reaction](reaction-xphb.md) if the attacker is within your weapon's range. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a [Long Rest](long-rest-xphb.md). ### Living Legend (Level 20) You can empower yourself with the legends—whether true or exaggerated—of your great deeds. As a [Bonus Action](bonus-action-xphb.md), you gain the benefits below for 10 minutes. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a [Long Rest](long-rest-xphb.md). You can also restore your use of it by expending a level 5 spell slot (no action required). #### Charismatic You are blessed with an otherworldly presence and have [Advantage](advantage-xphb.md) on all Charisma checks. #### Saving Throw Reroll If you fail a saving throw, you can take a [Reaction](reaction-xphb.md) to reroll it. You must use this new roll. #### Unerring Strike Once on each of your turns when you make an attack roll with a weapon and miss, you can cause that attack to hit instead.
