D&D 5E Basic Build Series: Paladin
Воины без страха и упрека, облаченные в особые латы, с магическим оружием в руках, и обладающие волшебными силами, чаще всего происходящими от божества-покровителя. Они - живое воплощение добра и справедливости. В каждом найдутся те или иные представители класса паладин. Они являются олицетворением благодетелей, светочем надежды и примером для союзников. Без страха и раздумий паладины идут навстречу опасности и сражаются со злом. Как нельзя лучше с этим справляется крепкая вера в правое дело, а также жертвенность и дисциплина. К сожалению, многие авторы книг или же разработчики компьютерных игр вводят этот класс для галочки. Их мало интересует его суть, и поэтому от паладинов остается лишь внешняя оболочка, не позволяющая раскрыть всей глубины этого класса.
Вслед за создателями ту же ошибку совершают читатели и игроки. Быть паладином - слишком тяжелая ноша и далеко не всем она по плечу. Видя то огромное количество зла и несправедливости, которое творится вокруг, у многих рыцарей света опускаются руки. Их души начинают терзать сомнения в правильности выбранного пути, причине своего существования и даже в самом смысле борьбы. Всему этому способствуют душевные раны от потери верных друзей и любимых, перемолотых в жерновах вечного противостояния между добром и злом. Быть паладином — это прежде всего жертва. На алтарь этой вечной битвы придется положить все - самого себя, радости обычного размеренного существования, даже отдать свою жизнь.
А все ради стремления к, зачастую, недосягаемому идеалу и поддержанию своего статуса. И ведь далеко не всегда противостояние внутренним демонам и жертвенность во имя других приносят удовлетворение и радость. Многие забывают о том, что паладины не лишены эмоций и чувств, они не големы в доспехах и не бездушные создания. Под их броней бьется настоящее, живое сердце, владелец которого вполне может совершать ошибки и терзаться сомнениями, ведь он, в первую очередь, человек. Однако, в отличие от множества других людей, чьи душевные переживания никак не влияют на окружающий мир, запутавшийся в себе паладин может вовлечь этот самый мир и своих близких в полнейший хаос. Множество самых славных воителей оступились и пали во Тьму став теми, кого когда-то поклялись уничтожить. Не спасло их и то, что они были опытными воинами света и положили всю свою жизнь на борьбу против зла.
Лорд Сот Даргаардский, Артас Менетил, леди Арибет де Тильмаранд — вот лишь немногие славные воители света, которые не смогли справиться со своими чувствами, чье горячее сердце затмило разум и они пали. Пали и навлекли ужасные страдания на окружающих — ведь по горькой иронии самые лучшие злодеи и служители Тьмы получаются именно из бывших героев.
Purity of Spirit 4 — A very powerful passive benefit, Protection from Evil and Good covers a large number of creature types, making this relevant in a lot of situations. Holy Nimbus 3 — This capstone is okay, but nothing special, primarily because of the action cost with so little in return. Additionally, saves against spells cast by fiends and undead are very niche, not protecting you from their non-spell abilities is disappointing. This would have been a 4 if it only cost a bonus action to activate. Ancients Paladin meets Druid, this Oath is focused more on the principle of good overall, rather than law or chaos, and does so with a nature theme.
The features and spells continue a theme of nature magic, combined with protection against fey and fiends, and enhancing the survivability of the Paladin. This subclass is often talked about because of its aura that gives resistance to spell damage. Aura of Warding 3 — A fantastic aura… if it applies to you, that is. Great for certain adventures, but too powerful to rate only a 2. The added ribbon of not feeling your age, or being vulnerable to magical aging is nice flavor added on. Elder Champion 5 — An excellent capstone ability worth the action cost. Excellent to pair with Ensnaring Strike, the disadvantage on the saving throw can be easily converted into advantage on your attacks, and additional damage.
Vengeance If vengeance stories motivate you, the idea of chasing down the monsters who wronged the innocent stirs your righteous heart then this is the subclass for you. The mechanics support an aggressive playstyle with access to teleportation spells which give you the capability to pursue or your quarry or form a tactical retreat when necessary. Abjure Enemy [CD] 2 — Frightened with a speed of zero is a very nice debuff, and the increased potency against fiends and undead makes this a more effective feature even for lower Charisma Paladins. Though, the effect disappearing when the creature takes damage completely undermines all of those benefits, especially when it took your entire action to set up. This can still be helpful but is not a go-to use of your Channel Divinity by any means. Vow of Enmity [CD] 5 — A fantastic buff against bosses and other meaty single targets. Not only can this help land more smites, but can also aid if you went the route of using Great Weapon Master.
Relentless Avenger 2 — A feature that can be useful for chasing down your quarry, but an enemy running away from you whilst provoking an opportunity attack is a bit too niche of a trigger. Soul of Vengeance 4 — A significant improvement to your Vow of Enmity that will increase your damage output drastically, remember the reaction attack will have advantage. Avenging Angel 3 — This is okay overall, the mobility of having a 60ft fly speed is a significant increase to the Paladin, and the fear aura has potential. Crown Driven by their ideals of civilization, Crown Paladins are guided by the law, their loyalty to whichever form of civilization they have chosen, such as a nation or sovereign, and the belief of being responsible for your actions. Their mechanics are that of a tank Paladin, gaining access to spells and features to protect others or make themselves the center of hostile attention instead. This subclass is often forgotten about, as it was published in the SCAG but not later republished like other subclasses from the same book. Champion Challenge [CD] 5 — A great tanking ability and one of the few abilities in the game that forces enemies to pay attention to you, rather than the squishy spellcasters 35 feet behind you.
Turn the Tide [CD] 3 — This ability has a lot of potential and is potentially a lot of hit points. The stand-out spell here is Spirit Guardians, which would synergize well with Champion Challenge, this is the only Paladin to gain access to this great spell. I would have preferred to see a little more healing on the list, this is the perfect Paladin for Healing Word. Divine Allegiance 2 — If you build your Paladin with soaking up large amounts of damage in mind, this can be very useful to keep your party members alive. However, the inability to reduce the damage, and the 5ft limit of the feature means you would likely be better off using the Interception style for the most part. Unyielding Spirit 2 — Advantage against paralysis and being stunned is nice, but very niche to be the only feature at this late a level. The advantage on Wisdom saving throws is also a large defensive boost at this level, where Wisdom saves are pretty common and the effects of failing them particularly unpleasant.
The stand-out here is that this ability lasts for an entire hour, rather than the much shorter duration of other Oath capstones, allowing you to fit potentially several encounters into a single use. Conquest A very different take on the Paladin archetype, being devoted to crushing all who stand before you and amassing personal power, the mechanics and spells are based around inducing and extorting fear in your enemies. Between the focus on causing the frightened condition and their aura, Conquest Paladins have a reputation of being great battlefield control Paladins. Conquering Presence [CD] 5 — A great debuff with no chance of friendly fire and no risk of removing the effect by damaging the creatures affected. Guided Strike [CD] 3 — Being able to make a big miss a hit is very nice, however, a single hit on a class with Extra Attack is a very expensive use of your Channel Divinity. Nice to have in your back pocket to pull off a smite when you need to, but it makes far more sense on the War Cleric, which makes fewer attacks and gets more uses of their CD. Oath Spells 5 — The overall theme of the list is very appropriate for the subclass, with a useful selection.
Aura of Conquest 5 — This aura ties to your CD and spell options, giving the subclass a very cohesive feel, the effect of the aura itself is also very powerful. Being able to lock down a frightened creature, and automatically doing damage to them, is a quick path to victory. This feature benefits from gaining as many ways to impose the frightened condition as possible and having a higher save DC against that condition. Scornful Rebuke 5 — Automatic damage, of a good type, whenever someone hits you? What pushes this ability into a 5 is this working at range and both with weapons and spells. Redemption A more social and reactive Paladin, the Oath of Redemption focuses on avoiding conflict or mitigating its consequences. This is executed through spells like Sleep , Calm Emotions, and Hypnotic Pattern, as well as Persuasion buffing, and punitive options for Channel Divinity.
This subclass makes a strong candidate for the Charisma-focused, support Paladin playstyle. Emissary of Peace [CD] 4 — A social ability is nice to see on a martial, a duration of 10 minutes makes it useful for entire social encounters. To get the most out of this ability you really need proficiency in Persuasion and a decent Cha modifier. Rebuke the Violent [CD] 5 — As enemy damage increases, this option will naturally scale in usefulness. Oath Spells 3 — Whilst the spells are very appropriate for the subclass, they run into problems of usefulness and scaling. That said having these spells as options is nice, and Hypnotic Pattern and Wall of Force are very useful control spells. Aura of the Guardian 2 — A slightly better version of the 7th level Oath of the Crown feature.
This gives Paladins a list of class-exclusive smite spells that are always prepared, with new spells being unlocked as they level up. These can also be used without expending a spell slot once before needing to Long Rest. Spellcasting has seen three major changes for Paladins that are as follows: Spell preparation is no longer tied to the level of Paladin spell slots. Paladins can change one prepared spell when finishing a long rest. Paladins no longer have cantrips as in previous playtests. Instead, they receive the Weapon Mastery feature. Lay on Hands is now a Bonus Action, meaning players can use it alongside attacking, healing, using a spell, or any other move that requires an Action. Aura of Protection has returned to 6th-level and will now become inactive if the Paladin is incapacitated.
Crown Driven by their ideals of civilization, Crown Paladins are guided by the law, their loyalty to whichever form of civilization they have chosen, such as a nation or sovereign, and the belief of being responsible for your actions. Their mechanics are that of a tank Paladin, gaining access to spells and features to protect others or make themselves the center of hostile attention instead. This subclass is often forgotten about, as it was published in the SCAG but not later republished like other subclasses from the same book. Champion Challenge [CD] 5 — A great tanking ability and one of the few abilities in the game that forces enemies to pay attention to you, rather than the squishy spellcasters 35 feet behind you.

Conquest A very different take on the Paladin archetype, being devoted to crushing all who stand before you and amassing personal power, the mechanics and spells are based around inducing and extorting fear in your enemies.

That said having these spells as options is nice, and Hypnotic Pattern and Wall of Force are very useful control spells. Aura of the Guardian 2 — A slightly better version of the 7th level Oath of the Crown feature. Protective Spirit 4 — This is a very healthy amount of hp regeneration with some minor scaling built-in for the remaining levels. Note: As it is not stated, when you halve your Paladin level for this feature, you should round down. Emissary of Redemption 3 — Unfortunately, this is a mixed bag, whilst it fulfills the goal of the subclass and provides great benefits, using a lot of your core class features would negate this benefit entirely. This is best for support Paladins who focus on buffs and healing, or who are content with dealing with minions whilst other party members deal with the heavy-hitting enemies.
Glory You thought Conquest was a different spin for a Paladin? Glory focuses on propelling you and your companions to legendary status by focusing on honing their body and skill and putting them to use through acts of courage. Inspiring Smite [CD] 2 — Whilst you can in theory apply these temporary hit points to as many creatures as you have temp hp, realistically for this ability to be worth anything you need to keep the number of creatures to one or two. The use of your bonus action feels a little clunky and makes the activation of this ability dependent on not only multiple factors, but spending an entirely separate resource. This would have easily been a 3 if you could activate it as a bonus action independently. The range should have been at least 10 feet to start with to make the ability more feasible. This still warrants a 2, as a self-speed bump of 10ft can be useful to a melee character in particular. Glorious Defense 3 — This can be a very potent defensive and retribution ability, however, it is held back by requiring the party to stay tightly clustered together in melee range of the enemy and tying the number of uses to your Charisma modifier for some reason. Watchers Sworn to protect the world from extraplanar threats, this subclass is dedicated to being the ever-vigilant sentry against the threats who seek to invade from beyond our own world.
Interestingly these Paladins are said to create and maintain a network of spies and informants, in order to keep an eye on any cult activity. Notably, they get access to typically more arcane magic, including Alarm and Counterspell. Oath Spells 3 — A thematic list, with a lot of utility in it. It would have been nice to see some better combat-relevant entries. Mortal Bulwark 4 — This is a very powerful ability, mixing general combat effectiveness with the ability to potentially just end an encounter. This only warrants a 4 because it covers a lot of creature types, but not all of them, and a capstone should ideally not be this niche. Guidance [Cantrip] — Applicable if you chose the Blessed Warrior Fighting Style, this is a very useful cantrip to pick up to help your party pass the skill checks which really matter. Bless [1st level Spell] — Not only great for support Paladins, this spell, unfortunately, takes your entire action, but rewards the party with a significant boost to their accuracy and save defense. Cure Wounds [1st level Spell] — Whilst you have Lay on Hands, it never hurts to have another option for healing yourself and your party.

Paladin 5e Guide
Polearm Master gives us an additional attack with a bonus action after we take the attack action, and it also gives us a reaction attack whenever a creature enters our reach. Having both these options will increase our average damage per round significantly. Skill — Insight. A useful social skill, plus it seems fitting for a Paladin to know when someone is lying. Languages — Common and Dwarvish. Class: Paladin Skills — Athletics, Persuasion. Persuasion is a commonly used skill based on Charisma. Divine Sense — 4 times per long rest, we can detect Celestials, Fiends, and Undead. It will scale well as we level up, adding an additional 5 HP to our pool, granting us a decent store of health to use.
Constitution is an important stat for any character, doubly so for those looking to utilize concentration, and the best we can afford is a 14. This guide treats Paladin as a Charisma primary class rather than Strength for the purpose of enhancing the strong points of Paladin, an approach encouraged for all Paladins. Background Sailor Skills — Intimidation, Perception. Perception is the most used skill in the game and important to every character. Athletics from Sailor we already have, and can thus replace with any other skill. This is situational, but being able to secure free passage on a ship can be a boon in some campaigns.
Aid [2nd level Spell] — Not to be confused with temporary hit points, this spell increases your actual hit point maximum, meaning you can heal these newfound points. This is a great durability buff for your party and is especially useful for lower hit dice characters like Wizards. Find Steed [2nd level Spell] — Being able to summon your own mount, enhanced with a telepathic and magical link, is a very useful means of transportation.
Small-sized Paladins can actually ride their mastiffs into those places! Here are some examples of strong race choices for a Paladin: Dragonborn 4 — Great stats, a damage resistance, and a breath weapon! Goblin 5 — A perfect Dexadin, bringing additional nova damage in the form of Fury of the Small, whilst giving you the ability to skirmish with Nimble Escape. Half-Elf 5 — You can boost your Charisma, Constitution, and the physical stat of your choice, whilst getting skills and some other nice ribbons. A great Paladin, regardless your primary stat, and potentially frees up an ASI for a feat. Combat-orientated feats are generally better for Paladins, however, feats which provide additional spellcasting can be valuable for the half casting class, especially support Paladins, and this will be reflected in their rating and description. Here are some examples of strong feat choices for a Paladin: Great Weapon Master 5 — A potential damage boost and source of bonus action attacks, for Paladins using great weapons this is a great feat. This is particularly useful for Vengeance and Conquest Paladins, as they both have accuracy-increasing Channel Divinity options. Sentinel 5 — Excellent tanking feat, this will allow you to make reaction attacks more often and give you the ability to lock down the battlefield.
Dragon Fear [Dragonborn] 4 — You can round out your choice of three different stats, all great for Paladins, and gain a good debuff that synergizes well with a Conquest Paladin. Slasher 5 — If you favor slashing weapons like longswords, scimitars, and great axes this feat gives you a great way to hinder the mobility of your enemies and adds a nasty debuff when you crit, to add insult to smite-based injury. The ratings take multiclassing prerequisites into consideration; if a multiclass will require you to have a 13 in a stat other than Str or Cha, it will likely receive a lower score unless the stat is one you would already have at 13 or higher, for example, Dexterity on a Dexadin. General multiclass tips for the Paladin: The multiclass prerequisites for a Paladin are Str and Cha scores of 13 or higher, this means multiclassing is easier for a Strength-based Paladin than a Dexadin. Multiclassing a Dexadin is still viable, but it will make you more MAD and require an investment in Strength you may not really use otherwise. If your primary interest in Paladin is using Divine Smite taking levels in any fullcaster class will give you a much faster spell slot progression to fuel those smites. Some popular jumping points for the Paladin class are 2nd level when you have Divine Smite and Spellcasting, 5th level when you have Extra Attack, and 6th level when you have all of those features and your Aura of Protection. However, requiring an Int of 13 is a steep cost for a MAD character and you would have to go two levels in to gain Infusions, making this a very niche combination. Note: The Artificer has a unique spellcasting progression that increases your spellcasting level by 1 when you take a level in it, despite having similar spellcasting to a half caster like the Paladin.
This means the spell slot gain is the same with a level of Artificer as it would be with a level of Cleric, Wizard, etc. If you take this class to third level, Armorer, specifically the Guardian form, is recommended for the temporary HP and Thunder Gauntlets. Barbarian 4 — Excellent for those looking to make a durable Paladin or a grappling Paladin, the small damage boost is a nice bump, but minor overall. If you choose to go three levels in, Totem Bear is a huge durability boost, Zealot gives you a damage boost, and Path of the Beast offers a mix of defense and offense with the tail and claws. Bard 3 — Best for support Paladins who focus on Charisma, this class will allow any Paladin to perform as a competent skill monkey with access to an additional skill, Jack of All Trades, and Expertise depending on how many levels you take in the class. If you choose to gain a subclass from this multiclass the recommended options for combat are the College of Swords, which gives you maneuver style uses for your Bardic Inspiration dice, and a second Fighting Style, or the College of Whispers which gives you a Divine Smite-like use for the same dice. If you want to further your side job as a skill monkey or want access to certain spells, the College of Lore grants you unrestricted spell choices and additional Expertise. Cleric 3 — Whilst MAD, Wisdom is a good tertiary stat to have some investment in, and gaining a subclass at Cleric level 1 and Channel Divinity the following level makes this a potent, front-loaded dip. The subclass you choose is important here and should be dictated by what role you are trying to strengthen; a dip into Life Cleric will make you a very potent healer when combined with Lay on Hands, choosing the War Domain can allow you to do more nova damage with bonus action attacks, and the Forge Domain allows you to create your own magic weapon.
The viability of this multiclass is entirely dependent on your ability scores and your priorities, depending on your build this can be very valuable. Druid 2 — This is only worth it if you already have the necessary Wisdom and there are Druid-specific spells that really interest you. Recommended subclasses are Circle of Dreams for access to bonus action healing, and Circle of Stars for a variety of benefits including Guidance, a bonus to healing, or an easier time maintaining concentration. Fighter 5 — With synergistic multiclassing requirements, and goodies at every level which actively enhance the core martial identity of the Paladin. The hard thing here is to stop yourself from taking more levels with how packed full of features the Fighter levels are. Importantly the Fighter adds more short rest resources to the Paladin, improving their endurance on longer, or harder, adventuring days. Recommended subclasses include the Battle Master for versatility and added damage, for example using Trip Attack to add more damage on your first attack and potentially advantage on your subsequent attack, and Samurai which can give you advantage at will three times per long rest, allowing you to increase your chances of hitting and getting critical hits for smiting. Monk 1 — Incredibly MAD, requiring four stats of 13 or higher, this multiclass is hampered further by the Monk relying on their Ki pool and multiple features not functioning in armor. This is because all of these subclasses have abilities that are not reliant on spending Ki, allowing you to save your few Ki points for Flurry of Blows, Patient Defense, or Step of the Wind as you see fit.
Ranger 1 — Avoid unless you really want to mix these two classes for roleplay purposes, this combination has the same MADness at the Monk, whilst giving you little benefit. The result of this is requiring at least two levels, primarily gaining a second FIghting Style and Ranger spells. If you do choose to go for a Ranger subclass Gloom Stalker is highly recommended for the additional attack on the first round of every combat, as well as a slew of other benefits. Rogue 3 — Best for Dexadins and Strength-based Paladins who either use two weapons or a shield, as they are incentivized to use finesse weapons for their own reasons. If you choose to gain a Rogue subclass, Swashbuckler has a lot of synergy with your Charisma and enables you to be an effective skirmisher without needing to rely on Cunning Action to Disengage. Arcane Trickster can be of great value to a Paladin, increasing your spellcaster level whilst giving you access to Wizard spells like Shield and Absorb Elements. Sorcerer 5 — This multiclass is referred to as a Sorcadin and is very popular in the optimization community for builds focusing on using Divine Smite. Like the Bard, Sorcerer synergizes well with your Charisma spellcasting, unlike the Bard it provides a subclass at first level and access to spells like Shield and Magic Missile to strengthen your defenses and cover your ranged weakness. Taking Sorcerer levels is a rewarding process, with something for you at each level, much like Fighter the hard part here is getting yourself to stop as the Sorcery Points and spell slots mount up.
Another great choice is the Clockwork Soul subclass, which gives you the ability to cancel out advantage or disadvantage, an ability that scales with your proficiency bonus , a nice touch for a multiclassed character. Two levels will give the ability to create an additional 1st level spell slot once per long rest, and three levels will give you access to Metamagic, allowing you to do things like cast a spell as a bonus action. Warlock 5 — Similar to the Sorcerer this combination has a catchy name, the Pallock or Padlock, with a focus on the short rest spell slots which the Warlock provides fueling Divine Smite for the most part. Being a Charisma spellcaster with a subclass at first level makes Warlock a very potent dip, with Invocations adding a lot of potential to a Paladin. Wizard 2 — The small Hit Die and requirement of Intelligence are difficult to overcome, but if Wizard suits your character concept there is some value to be had here. The faster spell slot progression and Arcane Recovery make you a Divine Smite machine, whilst access to defensive spells like Shield and Absorb Elements is welcome on every character.
You must be wielding a shield. The extra damage is 2d8 for a 1st-level spell slot, plus 1d8 for each spell level higher than 1st, to a maximum of 5d8. The damage increases by 1d8 if the target is a celestial, good aligned dragon or a fey, to a maximum of 6d8. By 3rd level, the unholy magic flowing through you makes you immune to disease. Ability Score Improvement[ edit ] When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. Extra Attack[ edit ] Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn. Aura of Vulnerability[ edit ] Starting at 6th level, whenever a hostile creature within 10 feet of you must make a saving throw, the creature gains a penalty to the saving throw equal to your Charisma modifier with a minimum penalty of -1. You must be conscious to grant this penalty. At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 45 feet. Aura of Cowardice[ edit ] Starting at 10th level, hostile creatures that start their turns within 10 feet of you have disadvantage on their saving throws against the frightened condition, and creatures immune to this condition lose their immunity while inside the aura. Improved Unholy Smite[ edit ] By 11th level, you are so imbued with profane power that all your melee weapon strikes carry negative energy with them. Whenever you hit a creature with a melee weapon, the creature takes an extra 1d10 necrotic damage. Corrupted Touch[ edit ] When a creature is under the effect of a spell that requires saving throw in each of its turns, you can use your action to touch that creature. Doing so causes the next saving throw made by that creature to instantly fail.
Астольф Хольгер Датчанин Роланд - наверное, самый известный из списка, великий герой и гордый владелец клинка Дюрандаль, могущего поспорить по популярности с Экскалибуром. Также паладинами именовались и рыцари круглого стола короля Артура. Впоследствии это слово стало нарицательным и так называли любого рыцаря, проявляющего преданность государю, своей даме, и обладающего рыцарскими доблестями. Таким образом еще до появления паладинов в том виде, который характерен для классического фэнтези с их силой света и дланью бога на плече, они уже занимали особое положение. Паладины совершали подвиги, сражались с бесчисленными ордами врагов, не поддавались на попытки сбить их с истинного пути и сквозь все эти испытания несли свою верность даме сердца и сюзерену. Но все чаще и чаще в фольклоре деяния паладинов преувеличивались для большей привлекательности среди знати и простого люда. То были темные и тяжелые времена и истории об этих идеальных рыцарях, а также их кодексе чести, были тем моральным ориентиром, источником вдохновения и недостижимым идеалом, к которому нужно было стремиться. Кому же еще быть лучом надежды и света в беспробудной серости окружающей жизни. Это была мечта. И вот так мечта об идеальном рыцаре в идеальном мире и дожила, пусть не без изменений, до наших дней. С развитием литературы, а впоследствии и ролевых игр, паладины стали излюбленными персонажами авторов. Каждый из творцов видел свой собственный образ святого воина. Их называют по-разному: крестоносцы, храмовники, святые воины и божественные чемпионы — но по сути своей — это все те же паладины. Воины без страха и упрека, облаченные в особые латы, с магическим оружием в руках, и обладающие волшебными силами, чаще всего происходящими от божества-покровителя. Они - живое воплощение добра и справедливости. В каждом найдутся те или иные представители класса паладин. Они являются олицетворением благодетелей, светочем надежды и примером для союзников. Без страха и раздумий паладины идут навстречу опасности и сражаются со злом. Как нельзя лучше с этим справляется крепкая вера в правое дело, а также жертвенность и дисциплина. К сожалению, многие авторы книг или же разработчики компьютерных игр вводят этот класс для галочки. Их мало интересует его суть, и поэтому от паладинов остается лишь внешняя оболочка, не позволяющая раскрыть всей глубины этого класса. Вслед за создателями ту же ошибку совершают читатели и игроки. Быть паладином - слишком тяжелая ноша и далеко не всем она по плечу. Видя то огромное количество зла и несправедливости, которое творится вокруг, у многих рыцарей света опускаются руки.

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. The Redians were rewarded by the king. The queen was very thankful for the death of her nemesis. She offered Zaela and her clerics a permanent place in Yorebridge Castle if she ever needed a safe place to stay. With the death of Gulo, peace in the land has once again been established.
But more than once, someone has thought of reviving the great dragon Gulo from his sleep beneath Yorebridge Castle. Some think it is just a rumor, while others are sure that someone is trying to recreate one of the most powerful dragons in history! It will be up to Hunter and Zaela to stop these people before they destroy the world all over again! Personality: Xanthe is an idealist. She is determined to protect the weak and weak of heart. She will always try to do the right thing and see the good in others— even when it seems impossible. Her ambition is to travel around the world and do good wherever she goes. Appearance: Xanthe is a tall, thin halfling with dark green hair. She is very muscular from years of training and fighting. Her striking, blue eyes make her appear even taller.
When she is on her horse, she dons a beautiful long, white robe that features a depiction of Helm on the back. Start of Character: She is intent on helping the war effort of the Grabisco Kingdom and finding adventure wherever it takes her. He was taken in by an order of paladins and raised as one of their own. He became famed for his numerous heroic deeds, including slaying a dragon. He was dubbed a paladin of light. He has set out to rid the world of the evil that lurks in the dark. His current task is to gather a group of adventurers to destroy the Dark Master, who has corrupted the Kingdom of Grabisco. Larak is a likable fellow. As a Paladin of Light, he travels the Kingdom of Grabisco, performing miracles and fighting evil whenever it rears its ugly head.
Как будто вам недостаточно быть самым страшным паладином в истории. Например, «Угасить пламя надежды» — немного не в тему, а ваш канал божественности может быть использован одним из двух способов. В 1515-м уровне, Scornful Rebuke наносит психический урон любому, кто достаточно глуп, чтобы ударить вас. Вы не только дали обет сокрушить своих врагов, но иногда вам приходится обходить закон и совершать сомнительные поступки, поэтому это один из немногих паладинов, которые могут иметь нейтральную мораль. У него есть неплохие бонусы к передвижению, а также несколько диких заклинаний, например, использование «Канала божественности» на одной цели, чтобы использовать несколько бонусов к атаке против этой же цели. Благодаря такому быстрому увеличению двух основных показателей, вы быстро достигнете 20-го уровня и сможете начать работать над подвигами, которые сделают вас практически неудержимым. Дыхательное оружие — тоже приятный штрих, позволяющий нанести дополнительный урон. Неважно, какой цвет вы выберете, но черный, плюющийся кислотой, драконорожденный паладин будет просто великолепен. Это действительно зависит от DM, можете ли вы играть таким персонажем или нет, поскольку они не вписываются в каждое приключение или модуль. 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?
14 способов создать сверхсильного паладина в Dungeons and Dragons
This is a divination effect similar to a detect evil spell, except that it finds undead only of any alignment. At the moment the paladin uses the ability, she knows if there are any undead within a chosen 60-degree arc, knows the exact number , and knows their exact location. This ability is the equivalent of a 2nd-level spell. It is a spell-like ability. Divine Counterspell Although the ability to turn undead is arguably a defining cleric characteristic, some clerics and paladins find that they can be even more effective crusaders by opposing evil spellcasters. The ability to negate an enemy spellcasters magic grants a character an unexpected edge. Class: Cleric or paladin.
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.
Аура защиты вернулась на 6-й уровень и теперь становится неактивной, если Паладин выведен из строя. Adjure Foes теперь ничего не делает при успешном сохранении. 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.
You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of Warlock spells requires time spent in contact with supernatural forces through rituals and meditation: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list. Spellcasting Ability Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your Anti-Paladin spells, since their power derives from the strength of your convictions. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a Anti-Paladin spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one. Choose one of the following options. Great Weapon Fighting When you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for an attack you make with a melee weapon that you are wielding with two hands, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll.
The weapon must have the two-handed or versatile property for you to gain this benefit. Protection When a creature you can see attacks a target other than you that is within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the attack roll. You must be wielding a shield. The extra damage is 2d8 for a 1st-level spell slot, plus 1d8 for each spell level higher than 1st, to a maximum of 5d8. The damage increases by 1d8 if the target is a celestial, good aligned dragon or a fey, to a maximum of 6d8. By 3rd level, the unholy magic flowing through you makes you immune to disease. Ability Score Improvement[ edit ] When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1.
Her sense of humor is often dry and sarcastic, earning her a reputation as a tough customer. This is especially true when it comes to criminals. Appearance: With strawberry blonde hair and matching eyes, Elyssa is a beautiful young woman. She forgoes armor in favor of the leather armor worn by the militia of Kreston. She spent years searching for the perpetrators and avenging her family and village, but she never found them. Now she is searching for a new place to call home and have a chance to rebuild her life. He was like a lion or tiger, and he had a fearless sense of adventure. When he was old and frail, he taught his daughter everything he knew about fighting and hunting, hoping she would continue the family legacy after he passed away. 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.

The Ultimate D&D 5E Paladin Class Guide (2024)
Его способности призваны сокрушить врага до того, как тот успеет причинить вред кому-либо. Этот карающий ангел заработал свои крылья кровью врагов, которым так страшно взглянуть в глаза приближающемуся Паладину, зная, что ни убежать, ни эффективно защититься от несущего воздаяние у них не выйдет. Клятва Короны противостоит хаосу и анархии, и Паладины этой клятвы олицетворяют закон и порядок, удерживающий общество целым. Часто служащий на благо всего народа, такой Паладин служит и на благо своего отряда, принимая удары, предназначенные другим, на себя и обращая вспять смерть, идущую по пятам его друзей. Клятва Искупления требует от своих Паладинов умения прибегать не к силе как первому средству в битве, а к подходящим словам, убеждающим обратиться к свету. Однако никого не должна смущать их миролюбивость и готовность принять удар на себя — их внутренняя сила не только восстановит раны, нанесённые теми, кого ещё можно спасти, но и воздаст лучистой энергией жестоким врагам, выбравшим путь зла.
Паладины клятвы Покорения насаждают своё добро и причиняют собственную справедливость железными рукавицами. В его присутствии все испытывающие страх испытывают ещё и боль, а все дерзнувшие противиться его принципам также познают настоящую агонию. Апогеем покорения становится несокрушимый воитель, способный принять вдвое больше ударов и сокрушить врагов с удвоенной мощью. Клятва Славы — история о Геракле и его подвигах. Испытания тренируют тело Паладина, а легенды о нём куют его дух.
Рядом с ним каждому хочется поспешить на свершения, однако на поле боя он обычно затмевает своих союзников то атлетическими способностями, то неожиданными выпадами в сторону врагов, то невероятной, скорее потусторонней силой обращать свои неудачи в новые подвиги. Клятва Стражей, как следует из названия, велит Паладинам оставаться бдительными на своём вечном посту. Этот пост находится на границе планов, откуда сыпятся угрозы для мира смертных. Находящиеся под опекой смотрителя могут не страшиться внезапных нападений и сокрушающих психику влияний потусторонних существ. В конце концов, если кто-то и попытается достигнуть разума друга Паладина, его постигнет незамедлительное возмездие, а затем и изгнание в свой родной мир.
At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet. Improved Divine Smite By 11th level, you are so suffused with righteous might that all your melee weapon strikes carry divine power with them. Whenever you hit a creature with a melee weapon, the creature takes an extra 1d8 radiant damage. 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.
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.
Circle of the Moon Druids will also now be able to wildshape as a bonus action, and while in their wildshape form can now cast Adjuration spells or burn a spell slot to heal themselves. Additionally, Paladins will not have access to two Channel Divinity uses per day, with this number increasing as the character levels up. The ability, however, can now only be used once per turn and only if the Paladin has not already cast a spell.
Appearance: Ayla wears a silver chainmail. Her dark hair is braided, with a bit of it hanging over her shoulder. Her weapon is a long battle-axe.
They intend to seek an audience with King Marcus about the threat surrounding his kingdom. He grew up in a very traditional home, never questioning his parents. He learned the ways of a warrior from a very young age. Kratos was trained in how to use a variety of weapons and armors. He spent many of his days hunting and protecting the borders of his homeland, but he always longed to wander the world for new adventures. And now, that time has come.
Personality: Kratos is very goal-oriented. He is a loyal friend who will always come to the rescue when needed. He has dark red fur with dark green eyes. He is always wearing armor of brown, red, and gold. He wields a halberd, able to fight with both his weapon and his shield. Start of Character: Kratos knows that he must head to the kingdom of Grabisco to return the missing piece of the legendary Cosmic Forge to its rightful place.
She was a curious young girl full of questions, and she started studying blacksmithing and weapon combat at an early age. All of the children in her village played together, dreaming of becoming great warriors, monsters, and heroes. Elyssa dreamed of becoming a paladin of the law; this was not for any particular reason other than her being a child who wanted to serve what she perceived to be the greater good. She and the other children formed a militia that they eventually used to defend the villagers and their community. Over the years, Elyssa became a skilled combatant, but she also studied diplomacy and negotiation with the natives of Fallowweed. Personality: Elyssa has a strong sense of duty and justice that she strives to uphold in herself and others.
She lives by the law and believes in the power of the law to bring peace and order to Grabisco. Her sense of humor is often dry and sarcastic, earning her a reputation as a tough customer. This is especially true when it comes to criminals. Appearance: With strawberry blonde hair and matching eyes, Elyssa is a beautiful young woman. She forgoes armor in favor of the leather armor worn by the militia of Kreston. She spent years searching for the perpetrators and avenging her family and village, but she never found them.
Now she is searching for a new place to call home and have a chance to rebuild her life.
