I have expanded and customized this Oath of the Watchers mod to level 20 by integrating content from the Paladin Overhaul mod. I’m sharing this modified version here.
Paladin overhaul mode does not need to be installed.
First of all, I sincerely thank modder BigGreenMako for creating such an excellent and useful mod. :)
Since I’m not a professional modder and have very limited modding knowledge, I’m unable to perform highly detailed modifications.
Changes:
New Subclass Icon - I created and added a custom icon for this subclass. It's a remake of the icon from Customized Subclass Icons mod.
Level 1: Oath tags are now freely selectable: Devotion, Ancients, Vengeance, Crown, Oathbreaker, or No Oath tag at all.
If you select the Oathbreaker dialogue option, you will be considered an Oathbreaker.
Warning! Once chosen, the class reset will follow the same process as for an Oathbreaker Paladin. However, the Oathbreaker Knight does not appear at your camp!
Without using a mod or console command, the reset process will not function properly—so please choose carefully.
See the comment section below for a workaround.
Abjure Extraplanar, Watcher’s Will – Adjusted casting behavior and fixed the issue where no sound played during casting.
Level 7: Sentinel Aura: +3 Initiative / 3m radius (same as the original mod)
Level 12: Range increases to 6m (+3 Initiative remains the same)
Level 18: Range increases to 9m (+3 Initiative remains the same)
Ok, If I can convert this mod to the official Toolkit, I'll convert it and upload it to mod.io.
Of course, it is best for the original author to upload it, but this mod has been left for two years. I feel that the original author will have their own circumstances, but I think it's a pity that this well -made mode is left unfortunately forgotten, and it would be better to upload it to the mod site and enjoy this mode for those who play right now. (Of course, I have to specify the original author.)
I've modified this mod to work with patch 7, please read the description of the mod main file and download the version you want. (* I will delete this post when the original modder updates it, as a fan of this mod I hope it gets updated soon).
I so want this to come over to mod.io. My fave Paladin Oath. But this hasn't been updated since October 2023?
Maybe somebody else will do the adaptation.
So, the main thing making it Patch 7 incompatible is it contains Mod Fixer? I probably could figure out how to remove that on my own, but wondering if somebody could simply release a "fixed" version of this without Fixer themselves? Fine if it's still just here at Nexus.
The author seems to have abandoned it, I assume you'd need their permission.
The thing is, updating it to be a mod.io/toolkit mod would also ensure it won't over-write other subclasses, even for those without SE/CF.
Very cool class, and well thought out implementation in Larian's D&D. I'm curious though for Watcher's Will uses, if there's other variables you could tie it to instead. Proficiency Bonus, or max number of Lay on Hands charges? (Lay on Hands specifically gives you 3 charges at lvl 3, 4 at lvl 4, and then 5 charges at lvl 10, which is closer to a progression expected of normal 5e)

Would you consider an extra file, that makes Abjure the Extraplanar last for 10 turns instead of 3?
