Paladin Archetype: The Blood Oath (5e)
A homebrewed archetype for the D&D 5th Edition Paladin that is less concerned with gods and religion (though doesn't not separate from them entirely)¸ focusing instead on the will to serve a master out of loyalty to them and their ideals. This is not an archetype of Paladin that utilizes "Blood Magic" or has been subjected to the process of vampirism¸ though it remains somewhat related by virtue of several abilities and spells which deal with the transfer of life force¸ both to and from yourself. Included is a full description of the archetype¸ including a short origin and explanation of the Oath¸ a list of tenets¸ Oath Spells¸ Class Features¸ and a note which details some options for customizing the appearance of your Blood-Oath Paladin. This is a work in progress¸ and though this is the first upload to DM's Guild¸ it has already been through several revisions since its inception. To that note¸ any and all provided feedback/advice will be taken under advisement¸ and will likely be included in any updates made in the future.
