This 5E Paladin optimisation guide covers the latest fighting styles, Oaths and subclasses from the Players Handbook to Xanathar's Guide to Everything. While Jadina was training to become a paladin, her father told her that it would be dangerous to travel any farther than from Gilderdrip without being instructed first by a paladin sage or an experienced paladin. Here you can find the details of the D&D Paladin level up process, in particular the new abilities, feats and character’s stats changes.

An in-depth guide for the Dungeons & Dragons Paladin character class covering optimisation of skills, weapons, features, and abilities in D&D 5e. While Jadina was training to become a paladin, her father told her that it would be dangerous to travel any farther than from Gilderdrip without being instructed first by a paladin sage or an experienced paladin. The Dragonborn Paladin is an iconic class and race combination in DnD 5e. We take a look at why it's so good, and how to build it yourself. Как класс и понятие, “Паладин” появился задолго до появления жанра фэнтези и, уж тем более, RPG-игр.

Lastly, Aura of Alacrity will now enhance Aura of Protection and provide a greater range for the feature than in previous versions. Aura of Warding will now enhance the Aura of Protection, providing resistance to Necrotic and Radiant damage. Finally, the Elder Champion is now a Bonus Action, and its benefits apply to all your spells, and you can restore a use of this feature by expending a 5th-level spell slot. Vow of Enmity can now be moved to another creature if and when the previous creature drops to 0 hit points before it ends and has had its range increased to 30 feet. Finally, the Avenging Angel feature can be used as a Bonus Action and now has a 10-minute duration instead of an hour. Like the Elder Champion, you can regain a use of this feature by expending a 5th-level spell slot. Having Lay on Hands being a Bonus Action will be very helpful in tight situations, and the flow of the class progression looks to be a nicer experience that constantly provides new features or changes, keeping things interesting throughout your time playing.

Выбор пути отныне не труден, Дорога для Веры — дорога меча Закону и чести будь только подсуден, Покуда горит твоей жизни свеча. Подобно стеклу будь чист и спокоен В поступках, мыслях и даже словах, Твой долг отныне быть вечным заслоном Народу и правде и во всех временах. Из авторского В одном из предыдущих номеров мы говорили о том, как правильно создать и отыгрывать священника. Сегодня хотелось бы пройтись по такому интересному и оригинальному классу, как паладин. Я уже заранее слышу возмущенные и гневные реплики ролевиков со стажем, мол, это паладин-то интересный? Консервная банка верхом на белом коне со святым мечом, умеющая всего две вещи — чувствовать зло и карать его. Никакого простора для отыгрыша, никакой возможности для кооперации с остальной партией. Что ж, это представление имеет примерно столько же прав на существование, сколько и утверждение типа «все мен…милиционеры — козлы». Если вы не встречали других, то это не значит, что их нет. Но мнение устоялось, так что придется немного поломать стереотипы. Итак, как же становятся паладином? От сеттинга к сеттингу способы этого таинства весьма разнятся. Но чаще всего паладин — это человек, посвятивший себя служению гораздо большему, чем земные цели, и даже в большей степени, чем какой-то из богов. Не важно, родился ли он со знанием своего предназначения или обрел его гораздо позже, ответил ли он на Зов, или выбора у него не было. Важно то, что он наполнен внутренним светом, убежденностью и верой, что он точно знает Путь, по которому идет, и готов сражаться до последней капли крови за Правду и Добро. Ну и чем это отличается от «Рыцаря-в-доспехах-на-коне-с-двуручником-сокрущающим-зло? Во-первых, обратите внимание, что паладин служит не конкретному богу Добра и Справедливости хотя в рамках псевдохристианского сеттинга он будет служить именно Господу, как единственному источнику Благодати в мире , а неперсонифицированным силам, олицетворяющим эти качества, возведенные в абсолют. Если сказать то же самое более простыми словами, то получается, что паладин сражается за Добро, а не за Бога добра или доброго бога в этом и разница между паладином и крестоносцем — воином веры, т. И даже если паладин номинально поклоняется какому-нибудь богу типа Торма или Пелора, он в первую очередь служит Правде, Добру и Справедливости. И если бог поставит свои интересы выше этих понятий, то паладин вполне может вступить в конфронтацию… если даже не с самим богом будем реальны в оценках , то с его прислужниками. По устоявшейся традиции за его основу принимается средневековый кодекс рыцаря, а точнее то, как его описали романтически настроенные поэты и писатели эпохи Возрождения. В сущности, можно описать его в нескольких ключевых понятиях — Честь, Милосердие, и Справедливость. Постараемся разобрать эти понятия чуть подробней. Итак, Честь. Надо сказать, что Честь — штука весьма относительная. Ведь у тех же рыцарей средневековья не считалось зазорными бесчестным поступком изнасиловать свою крестьянку вспомним про право первой ночи или убить ударом в спину сарацина, еврея или другого «нехристя». Но у паладина нет чести. У него есть Честь, как добродетель, как возведенная в абсолют истина. Он ко всем относится так, как хотел бы, чтобы относились к нему.
She chose a different path, however, joining the clerics in Yorebridge. Zaela trained under the Lord Marshall of the Grabisco Army. She learned at an early age that her people halflings were not as popular as humans or elves. She trained hard and became a powerful cleric-warrior, and was the only halfling to become a Lord Marshall. Zaela eventually took over the role as leader of the clerics in Yorebridge and the surrounding area. With the attack by the dragon, Gulo, Zaela has been called upon once again to protect her people. The Green Dragon Gulo was born many years ago. With a head as big as a horse, and a huge wingspan, he was the biggest dragon in the land. He was very cunning and powerful. People feared him. He liked to drink the blood of humans and halflings, and enjoyed destroying small farms and villages in the countryside. He was not above eating a dog or chicken, either. His size was intimidating, and he was tough to defeat! The elves were the first to come up with a plan to defeat the dragon Gulo. They called on a group of human warriors called the Red Dragons. Zaela, serving as a Lord Marshall, led the army into battle with Gulo. That battle was the bloodiest and most difficult battle Zaela had ever been involved in. Gulo had been ready for them, however. The attack lasted for days with both sides watching their comrades fall by their side. However, at last the leaders of the Red Dragon forces thought they had figured out a plan that would work. They used a magic potion that could make them invisible, but this meant they would not be able to see each other or Gulo in order for it to work. That was accomplished by using ropes. As they prepared their attack, two leaders of the Red Dragons covered themselves with shields painted with pictures to see each other by reflection. Available as an eBook or in a classic print format. He got so angry that he breathed fire at them. The swordsmen defended themselves using their shields, and most of them died in the attack, but they had done it! Gulo was tied up! Another group of Red Dragons then entered his mouth and cut off his great golden tongue.
That being said, players will eventually have the ability to turn to smaller-sized creatures and customize their animal form, including creating optional hybrid versions which could potentially allow for a druid to transform into something like an owlbear. Later levels will also be able to shift in and out of wildshape without wasting an action. Finally, the ability is now available to Druids at 1st level, rather than 2nd level. Now, players will be able to infuse elemental magic into their animal form, allowing them to become creatures such as fire-infused wolf or lightning-infused owl. Additionally, in this new form they will now deal damage of that elemental type. For example, a fire wolf might shoot flames out of its mouth.

Paladin Backstory: 10 Amazing DND Background Builds
Grappler PHB : Just a terrible feat in general. Great Weapon Master PHB : Paladins have several options for boosting their attack rolls, so you can find a way to offset the -5 penalty to attacks for that huge pile of extra damage. Healer PHB : Paladins have plenty of magical options for healing. Lucky PHB : Good on anyone. If you want to rely more directly on cantrips, consider Fighting Style Blessed Warrior instead. Big sections of the monster manual are medium or smaller, so you have easy access to Advantage. Regardless of how you handle your mount, be sure to read my Practical Guide to Mounted Combat. Piercer TCoE : The damage reroll mechanic notably applies to the bonus damage dice applied by Divine Smite, allowing you to boost your damage by rerolling the lowest die. The ability to make Opportunity Attacks when enemies move into your reach gives you a good way to use your Reaction consistently, especially if you use things like Compelled Duel to motivate enemies to attack you.
You can even get away with using a quarterstaff or spear and a shield spear was added in errata in 2018. The largest damage die d12 , yields an average of 2 extra damage per turn. The reaction option also makes things like Fighting Style: Protection redundant. Sharpshooter PHB : Paladins are terrible at ranged combat. Skilled PHB : You can get all the skills you need from your race, class, and background. Slasher TCoE : The speed reduction is a great way to keep enemies from escaping you. Advantage on your save to maintain Concentration is a solid bonus for Paladins since many very effective buffs require Concentration, but I would consider Resilient before you consider this. If you can pick up a Cantrip like Booming Blade or Word of Radiance, this becomes considerably more interesting.
Paladin Weapons This section covers weapons which specifically appeal to the Paladin. For more advice on choosing weapons, including those not addressed here, see our Practical Guide to Weapons. Get a polearm. Works best when combined with Polearm Master and Sentinel. Javelin: Likely your go-to ranged option.
In other words, you can now do a melee attack and then instantly use a smite spell as a bonus action to augment the attack. At higher levels, Paladins will be able to spend 5 of their own hit points to remove a number of conditions from another character, including poison, paralyzed and petrified. Changes to Auras: In the current 5e rules there are various Paladin Auras which are available depending on which Oath subclass the players chooses. Additionally, the Sacred Weapon Channel Divinity ability is now a bonus action. Wizards of the Coast has said they will also be releasing future playtest materials in longer periods rather than once ever month or so and users are expecting that the next batch will likely be focused on the Mage or Warrior classes.
A highly effective class, but also a stressful one, as you see your HP will bob up and down dramatically mid-fight. For weapons, take a battleaxe and shield.
Your choice of martial weapon is less important, but the shield will provide an essential AC boon. At third level, pick the Oath of Redemption. Both Channel Divinity options are stellar picks, and your choice between them should be guided by the style of your DM.
If they like to throw monster after monster at you, Rebuke the Violent will be essential to mirror the blows dealt to your party. But if creative roleplay better suits your campaign, Emissary of Peace allows you to avoid even the most certain of conflicts. Upon reaching fourth level, take the Tough feat.
At level eight, increase your Cha score so you can make better use of your absolutely excellent spell list, and put your Oath spells to maximum use. From here, your Paladin should be set up to use the Aura of the Guardian class feature efficiently. Keep plugging Cha and Con, letting damage dealing fall to other party members.
Rock Gnome Lancer For a slightly sillier, and outright peculiar playstyle, consider building your Paladin as a mounted lancer, harrying the enemy with recurring charges. Playing a mounted character can be tricky, although Paladins get around the most persistent problems using their Find Steed spell. Employed correctly, mounts grant mobility improvements, as well as combat advantages, such as letting you disengage without provoking an attack of opportunity.
Ability Scores Nothing fancy here. Details Pick Gnome 5e as your race.
Oppression Su : When a despot reaches 4th level, she gains the supernatural ability to oppress other living creatures by speaking to them and channeling negative energy into the power of her voice.
This is a language-dependant, mind-affecting ability. Creatures with chaotic alignments are affected first, and creatures with lawful alignments are affected last. Within the alignment spectrum, closer creatures are affected first.
A target that is oppressed becomes sickened with guilt and depression -2 penalty on all attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks for 1 minute. If the despot has twice as many levels or more than any creature that is oppressed, that creature is instead nauseated can only take a single move action each turn for 1 minute. Leadership Ex : Upon reaching 5th level, a despot gains the Leadership feat as a bonus feat.
Mark of Justice Sp : At 7th level, a despot can cast mark of justice, as the spell, once per week. She can use this ability one additional time per week for every four levels after 7th, to a maximum of 4 times a week at 19th level. Code of Conduct A despot must be of lawful evil alignment and loses all class abilities if she ever willingly commits a chaotic act such as breaking a vow or contract or betraying an ally.
She must at all times work to expand and grow her domain, either by virtue of the Leadership feat or by strong-arming those less fortunate and powerful than herself. She is allowed to abuse her sovereignty in any way she sees fit to further her own personal strength and glory, but she must protect and defend her subjects and allies from harm from other forces. Likewise, she must not overburden her subjects so that they cannot support her.
Associates A despot adventures only with characters of a non-chaotic alignment and remains suspicious and wary of those who are not lawful. She will never knowingly associate with chaotic characters, nor will she continue an association with someone who consistently offends her moral code.
[Top 5] D&D Best Paladin Builds
Part of our D&D 5E Basic Build Series, this Paladin uses the Oath of Devotion to add additional party protection in the form of charm immunity. Споры вокруг паладина, Как отыгрывать паладина в ДнД 3,5? Главная» Новости» История паладина для днд.
Paladin Backstory: 10 Amazing DND Background Builds
These changes are as follows Oath of Devotion: With the changes to Smites, some spells and revisions have happened to the Oath of Devotions spell list, and it is now as follows: 3rd — Protection from Evil and Good, Shield of Faith 5th — Aid, Zone of Truth 9th — Beacon of Hope, Dispel Magic 13th — Freedom of Movement, Guardian of Faith 17th — Commune, Flame Strike Smite of Protection has also been moved to 15th-level and works with all Smite spells, and provides Half Cover to every player in range of your Aura of Protection until the start of your next turn. The Peerless Athlete Feature now lasts one hour instead of ten minutes. Lastly, Aura of Alacrity will now enhance Aura of Protection and provide a greater range for the feature than in previous versions. Aura of Warding will now enhance the Aura of Protection, providing resistance to Necrotic and Radiant damage. Finally, the Elder Champion is now a Bonus Action, and its benefits apply to all your spells, and you can restore a use of this feature by expending a 5th-level spell slot. Vow of Enmity can now be moved to another creature if and when the previous creature drops to 0 hit points before it ends and has had its range increased to 30 feet. Finally, the Avenging Angel feature can be used as a Bonus Action and now has a 10-minute duration instead of an hour. Like the Elder Champion, you can regain a use of this feature by expending a 5th-level spell slot.
Soul of Vengeance: An extra attack each round against your target of Vow of Enmity greatly increases your damage output. Avenging Angel: Flight for an hour a day is pretty rad. The fear aura will hold lesser foes at bay while you take on the big bad, preventing you from being swarmed. All the abilities are great, but only apply in certain situations. If your campaign setting calls for it, this is one of the strongest paladin subclasses. However, in a vacuum when compared to the others, it underperforms. Oath Spells: A wide variety of spells that are mostly situational or overlap with other party roles. Ahead of a fight with casters, this is a solid buff, but otherwise it wastes an action you would otherwise use smiting. Abjure the Extraplanar: Situational. Aura of the Sentinel: An initiative boost for entering combat in tight formation. Vigilant Rebuke: Situational. Good against some casters. This Sacred Oath is more important for villainous archetypes than the others and gives an evil-aligned campaign a solid tank option. Oathbreaker paladins are free to pursue dark goals, or accompany some more roguish characters, such as a party of warlocks, bards, and rogues, on adventures. Oath Spells: Some of the options are bad and will never be used, but there are a few gems on this list. Go from being outnumbered to an overwhelming force in the blink of an eye. As long as you have the materials prepared ahead of time, your reinforcements can arrive when you most need them. Use it to animate a dead body to kill enemies and animate them tomorrow for a never-ending cycle. Confusion is unreliable compared to other single-target enchantment spells like Hold Person, given the randomness of its effect. Touch a target in a crowd and watch them deteriorate before confronting them for the kill. Dominate Person is a powerful way to temporarily gain an extra party member. Control Undead is on theme, but less relevant. Control Undead: Rather than turning undead, you can redirect them. This only works on minor threats, however, as any serious undead threat is going to be too powerful for you to control. Putting a swath of creatures into a frightened panic in your presence allows your allies to mop them up relatively easily. The damage bonus will stack considerably. Supernatural Resistance: Resistance to nonmagical damage makes you very difficult to kill when facing down minor enemies. Dread Lord: This ability does a ton of damage. Using it in conjunction with your channel divinity will allow you to chase enemies down and cause psychic damage to them, get an extra attack, and also take your normal attack. Animal Handling: Nature paladins and those who engage in mounted combat should grab this skill when available. Arcana: Divine casters usually take Religion over Arcana. Athletics: Strength is one of your main stats. Deception: Paladins are straight-talking Lawful Good guys, but they do have Charisma as a main stat… History: Not terribly important Insight: The one Wisdom skill you should concern yourself with. Intimidation: Another great Charisma skill for you. Investigation: Not your strong suit. Perception: Spot enemies sneaking up on you. Performance: Not your job. Persuasion: This is your most important skill. Sweet talk your way out of or into anywhere. Stealth: Not another Dexterity skill… Survival: Nature paladins only. Backgrounds Acolyte: Thematically this might make sense, as you get two skills off the paladin skill list, but neither are very useful given your ability score priorities. Versatile, but not ideal. Criminals are evil. Entertainer: bad skills for a heavily armored tank. Faction AgentSCAG: A fantastic choice, given the versatility in skill selection, and two bonus languages along with 15 GP, which happens to be the most of any background. Though they do make you more balanced. FisherGoS: Neither skill provided by this background is terribly relevant for Paladins. However, there are better backgrounds for that particular archetype. Hermit: Medicine and Religion are your two most useful class skills. MarineGoS: In a sea-faring campaign, this is the perfect background. Vehicle proficiency helps you contribute to the crew. Two great skills off your list, vehicle proficiency, and a feature that helps advance the plot if your DM is clever about it. Noble: History is less useful than religion for you specifically, but persuasion is your main skill. Sage: Not relevant for a Paladin. Sailor: Athletics and Perception is a solid combination. Proficiencies with water vehicles and free passage to new places opens up avenues of exploration. ShipwrightGoS: The vehicle proficiency is the only things of value from this background. SmugglerGoS: Evil and antihero Paladins look no further! Deception and Athletics are two great skills for your archetype. Soldier: Athletics and Intimidation are both in your wheelhouse, and land vehicle proficiency will help on your travels. Urchin: Not relevant for a Paladin. You can use your single-cast 1st level spell for a smite. Athlete: Not useful for Paladin. Actor: Not useful for Paladin. Crossbow Expert: Not useful for Paladin. However, there are still better feat options available for you. Dungeon Delver: Not useful for Paladin. Elemental Adept: Not useful for Paladin. Heavily Armored: Redundant.
Level: 1st cleric or 4th paladin. Special Requirement: Knowledge arcana 1 rank. Replaces: You do not gain the ability to turn or rebuke undead. This ability functions just as if you were using dispel magic to counter the spell, except that you add your cleric level instead of your caster level to the d20 roll. For example, a paladin would normally turn undead as a cleric of three levels lower; her effective cleric level for counterspelling is equal to her paladin level - 3. Divine Spirit Most paladins form a special relationship with a celestial mount that aids them in battle. You, however, spend most of your time fighting below the ground or in enclosed spaces, where a mount is of little use. Instead, you have forged a bond with celestial spirits whose aid you can call upon when needed. Level: 5th. Replaces: If you select this alternative class feature, you do not gain the special mount ability. Benefit: Upon reaching 5th level, you can call upon your deity for aid in the form of a celestial spirit. Using this ability is a standard action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity. See below for detailed spirit descriptions and rules. Your paladin level determines which kinds of celestial spirits answer your summons. You can summon the spirit available at your current level as well as any that became available at lower levels.
This twist on the classic Paladin formula translates into a suite of aberrant abilities that center on high damage, and the undead. The best Channel Divinity option is Dreadful Aspect, frightening all creatures within a 30-foot radius. The alternative, Control Undead, lets you bring any undead creature under your mental control. If nothing else, these starter-necromancy spells are fun to play around with. At level 15, Supernatural Resistance grants permanent protection from bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage dealt by non-magical weapons, seriously boosting your defenses. Later on, higher-level spells like Blight and Contagion can really help you pile on damage. Paladin 5e spells Although most at home in the thick of battle, swinging a greatsword and relying on thick plate armor to glance incoming blows, Paladins have a powerful spell list open to them. The rapid growth of spell slots that Paladins gain as they level makes them formidable defensive spellcasters, that can challenge the utility of any half-baked Cleric. When picking spells, bear two things in mind: Concentration and Charisma. Your Cha modifier dictates how many spells you may prepare after each long rest and, in several cases, their effectiveness. As for picking spells, Paladins have it easy. Use this freedom to experiment with the many options available, and test out creative combinations. Find Steed Level: Two Summon a loyal animal to fight by your side, whether a horse, mastiff, camel, or anything else you can wrangle out of your DM. Anything you summon will stick around until it drops to zero HP. Revivify Level: Three A classic. Destructive Wave Level: Five Create a burst of divine energy that deals 5d6 damage, plus 5d6 radiant or necrotic damage, to every creature 30 feet in front of you that fails on a Con saving throw.
Paladin 5e Guide
Любой класс может быть законопослушным и следовать любому набору правил по любой причине, но паладины имеют благородные намерения и лично хотят делать добро другим, в этом вся разница. Таким образом, хорошая отыгрыш паладина исходит от Закономерного Хорошего. Это искреннее желание сражаться за добро и побеждать зло — вот что важнее всего, и все, от бога-покровителя до членов отряда паладина и реальных игроков, должны сосредоточиться на этом. Это также делает паладина более сочувствующим, так как он сожалеет о нарушении правил, но имеет добрые намерения поддерживать их. Идеальный человек, соблюдающий правила, не похож на других, но несовершенный, склонный к ошибкам человек с добрыми намерениями, безусловно, есть. Они чувствуют себя более человечными, буквально или нет, когда являются многогранными существами, которые просто предпочитают одно мировоззрение в качестве своей основной личности, но при этом погружаются в другие мировоззрения. Как и ожидалось, паладины по умолчанию законно-добрые, но они всего лишь смертные.
Таким образом, лучшая ролевая игра паладина может включать в себя персонажа-паладина, неохотно нарушающего правила здесь и там, особенно если он может рационализировать это своими искренне добрыми намерениями. Если паладин сможет продать эту идею своему божеству-покровителю или своему рыцарю-командиру, это может привести к интригующим разговорам.
Аура отваги снова стала особенностью 10-го уровня. Божественный проводник был удален из классовых функций, а расширение ауры вернулось на 18-й уровень. Наконец, Holy Nimbus теперь дает преимущество при спасбросках от эффектов от Fiends и Undead. Функция «Бесподобный спортсмен» теперь длится один час вместо десяти минут. Наконец, «Аура рвения» теперь улучшает «Ауру защиты» и обеспечивает больший диапазон действия этой функции, чем в предыдущих версиях. Клятва Древних: «Гнев природы» был переработан и теперь может сдерживать нескольких врагов в пределах 15 футов от Паладина вместо предыдущего одного врага в пределах 10 футов.
Аура защиты теперь будет усиливать ауру защиты, обеспечивая сопротивление некротическому и лучевому урону. Наконец, Старейшина-Чемпион теперь является бонусным действием, и его преимущества распространяются на все ваши заклинания, и вы можете восстановить использование этой функции, потратив ячейку заклинания 5-го уровня. Клятва возмездия: Метка охотника теперь является эксклюзивным заклинанием рейнджеров, и Вынужденная дуэль заняла свое место в списке заклинаний Клятвы возмездия.
If you also use your Divine Smite with an attack, you add this damage to the extra damage of your Divine Smite. Cleansing Touch Beginning at 14th level, you can use your action to end one spell on yourself or on one willing creature that you touch. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier a minimum of once. You regain expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Sacred Oaths Becoming a paladin involves taking vows that commit the paladin to the cause of righteousness, an active path of fighting wickedness. Oath of Devotion The Oath of Devotion binds a paladin to the loftiest ideals of justice, virtue, and order. Sometimes called cavaliers, white knights, or holy warriors, these paladins meet the ideal of the knight in shining armor, acting with honor in pursuit of justice and the greater good. They hold themselves to the highest standards of conduct, and some, for better or worse, hold the rest of the world to the same standards. They hold angels—the perfect servants of good—as their ideals, and incorporate images of angelic wings into their helmets or coats of arms. Tenets of Devotion Though the exact words and strictures of the Oath of Devotion vary, paladins of this oath share these tenets. Let your word be your promise.
Courage: Never fear to act, though caution is wise. Compassion: Aid others, protect the weak, and punish those who threaten them. Show mercy to your foes, but temper it with wisdom. Honor: Treat others with fairness, and let your honorable deeds be an example to them. Do as much good as possible while causing the least amount of harm. Duty: Be responsible for your actions and their consequences, protect those entrusted to your care, and obey those who have just authority over you. Oath Spells You gain oath spells at the paladin levels listed.
Table: Oath of Devotion Spells Level.
Small villages and townships on the fringes of the nation have been under attack or besieged by supernatural events. Tier 3 Paladins Tier 3 paladins are most likely to be encountered by PCs from levels 11 to 16, although you may insert them earlier as a potential patron or mentor figure. Unless your setting has uniquely powerful NPCs, tier 3 paladins should be very rare. Or perhaps they live a more lowkey existence on the fringes of society, battling planar threats before they become widely known.
Add the 15th level oath feature from a paladin subclass. An ancient forest is dying and no one is quite sure why. The reclusive guardian of the forest seeks aid in searching the area for the cause. Oath of the Ancients. A once honorable paladin sold out his order in exchange for money or power.
He must be brought to justice, or convinced to atone for his mistakes. Tier 4 Paladins Tier 4 paladins are most likely to be encountered by PCs from levels 17 to 20, although you may insert them earlier as a potential patron or mentor figure. A tier 4 paladin is comparable in many respects to a level 20 adventurer, there may only be one such figure in your entire setting. Swap out the Paragon of Devotion feature based off of the Oath of Conquest level 20 ability for a different level 20 oath feature.
D&D 5th Edition
Great Weapon Master. Gives you a free attack after a killing blow or critical strike and allows you to deal bigger damage at the cost of a less accurate attack. Resilient Constitution. Always useful, especially if your Constitution score is currently sitting at an odd number.
War Caster. Advantage on concentration checks, ability to use somatic components of spells while your hands are full, and the ability to cast some spells as an opportunity attack. Some of these feats are better than others, depending on your character build.
Ensnaring Strike and Speak with Animals spells and the ability to restrain creatures with Channel Divinity at 3rd level. Moonbeam and Misty Step spells at 5th level and an aura that grants spell resistance to nearby allies at 7th level. This nature-themed subclass leans into the control aspect of the Paladin, adding multiple methods for restraining enemies.
Misty Step is also useful on just about every character in DnD. Overall, a solid subclass with an easy-to-parse set of tenets. Protection from Evil and Good and Sanctuary spells and the ability to add damage and a light effect to your weapon with Channel Divinity at 3rd level.
Lesser Restoration and Zone of Truth spells at 5th level and an aura that protects against charm at 7th level. This is a balanced Paladin archetype that focuses somewhat on damage and utility. Paladins already have access to the Protection and Truth spells, and the other bonus spells are okay.
Protecting against charm can be big against a spell like Hypnotic Pattern , but this aura is definitely on the weaker side. Hold Person and Misty Step spells at 5th level and the ability to instantly chase an enemy after hitting them with an opportunity attack. This subclass is all about control, mobility, and pursuit.
Misty Step is great, and Hold Person sets you up for big damage critical strikes. The chase effect is situationally nice, but this subclass does miss out on the utility of a party-wide aura. Oathbreaker DMG.
Hellish Rebuke and Inflict Wounds spells and the ability to control undead creatures with Channel Divinity at the 3rd level. Crown of Madness and Darkness spells at 5th level and an aura that causes nearby fiends and undead to take extra damage at 7th level. Controlling undead creatures can be cool, but unless your campaign features a lot of them, this subclass is ultimately one of the weaker ones.
Conquest XGtE. Armor of Agathys and Command spells and the ability to frighten creatures in a large area with Channel Divinity at 3rd level.
I am not talking about stats or spell lists but rather the motivations which drive your character, and in the case of the Paladin the oath is at the heart of what makes your character who they, even if the oath is broken. All of this factors so heavily into your characters design that we will be placing the oath up front and making it a key feature in building your character. So what common thread do we see across each paladin no matter the oath, well save for the oath breaker. Well that key, which will decide our core color, is that of dedication, discipline and moral absolution. The Paladin no matter what it chosen to focus on is a character who devotes its life to a cause, more so than many other classes, whereas the class in most cases is supplementary to the character it is the opposite for the Paladin.
They are their cause and every action they take reflects the oath they have chosen. These key features tell us a lot about who the Paladin is and what its core color would be, a color who is also defined by these same descriptors. Pulling up the card we can that they have chosen White, and this is another case where I wholeheartedly agree. As I said each word used to describe the base of the Paladin describes core aspects of White. We saw White show up in our Cleric video and yet both represent different sides of the color. For the Cleric this color denotes service to a higher power, and whites proclivity to gravitate towards religion. In the case of the Paladin, it keys into ideas of strict morality, resolve, and justice.
White is the color who often works in absolutes, seeing the worlds as black and white. They hold themselves and the world around them to a code of conduct, often through laws or judgment. White is shrewd in its outlook and enacts its ideals as the literal and only law. This can lead to both truly heroic and selfless characters or that of authoritarian and oppressive ones. I believe that the Paladin can be built in both ways, even through oaths which are outwardly facing as good. This absolute mindset and devoted nature is why White matches so well with the Paladin. To start off I want to take our core color and add in Red to see what sort of Paladin is bread from these colors influences.
Coloring their view of the world around them, and vengeance can seem like the only outlet for such emotions. Not just vengeance on those who did them wrong, but against all who act with hate towards others. It is an act of violence against those who do wrong to the weak and judgment handed out is this characters only recourse. What I mean is that there are those are acted upon by ruthless external forces who are unable to stand up to such aggressors and the oath of vengeance paladin is there to fill in that role, by being that act of recourse for those unable to do so, placing fear in the heart of those who bring fear to others.
Это хороший стартовый билд для любого класса, а билд для OP-паладина довольно прост. Кроме того, вы получаете навык владения одним из видов игровых наборов, чтобы скоротать время между победами над врагами. Более того, ваша особенность «Военное звание» означает, что люди из армии, в которой вы служили, будут узнавать вас и делать то, что вы говорите, пока вы выше их по званию. Если вы больше любите ролевые игры, представьте предысторию вашего паладина.
Что заставило их вступить в армию? Это был их бог? Открыли ли они своего бога на войне? Характеристика по умолчанию для этого фона — Проход на корабле, который позволяет вам получить бесплатный проход на парусном корабле для себя и своей группы, если вы обещаете нести свою службу на борту. Например, «Дурная репутация» означает, что вы можете избежать наказания за мелкие уголовные преступления, потому что люди настолько боятся вас, что не будут сообщать о ваших преступлениях. Когда при атаке двуручным оружием на кубике урона выпадает единица или двойка, вы можете перебросить кубик. Вы должны использовать новый бросок, даже если это еще один или два, но это лучше, чем ничего. Кому не нравится второй шанс нанести больше урона?
А с таким сильным паладином, каким оказался этот, больше урона — всегда лучше. Ваша сила, конституция или харизма увеличиваются на единицу, а вместо использования дыхательного оружия вы можете выбрать рев с ужасающей свирепостью. Вам не придется использовать слот заклинания или канал божественности, чтобы заставить людей бояться вас. Если да, то получите этот подвиг.
Такие личные цели прекрасно подходят для ролевых игр и могут добавить столь необходимую эмоциональную глубину тому, что многие считают классом, основанным на правилах и упорстве в грязи. Даже если цель паладина более общая, например, разрушить смертоносный культ Тиамат, чтобы защитить свое родное королевство от разрушения, игрок может сделать ее личной, например, подружиться со своим паладином или даже влюбиться в него.
Это может лично побудить паладина еще больше бороться за дело и заставить паладина чувствовать себя более динамичным, а не статичным. Для паладина важнее не только то, что говорят правила, но и намерения, стоящие за ними. Паладины не просто следуют правилам своего бога-покровителя, чтобы быть послушными и избегать наказания. Паладины всегда стремятся подать хороший пример, следуя принципам своей клятвы и поступая правильно, но даже они могут колебаться. Любой класс может быть законопослушным и следовать любому набору правил по любой причине, но паладины имеют благородные намерения и лично хотят делать добро другим, в этом вся разница. Таким образом, хорошая отыгрыш паладина исходит от Закономерного Хорошего.
Это искреннее желание сражаться за добро и побеждать зло — вот что важнее всего, и все, от бога-покровителя до членов отряда паладина и реальных игроков, должны сосредоточиться на этом.
[Top 5] D&D Best Paladin Builds
Сегодня рассматриваем класс Паладинов (Paladin) для пятой редакции правил Dungeons and Dragons. In this article, we explore my top 5 paladin builds, presented in no particular order. A paladin follows a strict code of discipline and devotion. While the archetypal paladin is lawful good, protecting the innocent and the weak, paladins in 5e can be much more varied than this (though certainly do steer towards being protectors). Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Paladins are proficient with all simple and martial weapons, with all types of armor (heavy, medium, and light), and with shields (except tower shields).
