About this mod
Here is my interpretation of the Oath of the Crown Paladin. You are a loyal soldier to a realm, sworn to uphold the laws and expectations of it. You may exalt a god or gods of law and order to power your faith. You may exalt the righteousness of your realm. You care for your country and its people. The true definition of the word "Paladin".

Mod Author Notes: There are two versions of the mod, my version is the default download and the more faithful RAW version is an optional download. Only have one at a time.
Tenets
The law is paramount. It is the mortar that holds the stones of civilization together, and it must be respected.
Loyalty.
Your word is your bond. Without loyalty, oaths and laws are meaningless.
Courage.
You must be willing to do what needs to be done for the sake of order, even in the face of overwhelming odds. If you don't act, then who will?
Responsibility.
You must deal with the consequences of your actions, and you are responsible for fulfilling your duties and obligations.
Level 3
Compelled Duel, Command
Level 5
Warding Bond, Spiritual Weapon
Level 9
Spirit Guardians, Aura of Vitality
Level 13
Guardian of Faith, Banishment
Level 17
Hold Monster, Greater Restoration
Field Medic
Your Oath binds you to the pillars of law and order. When you heal an ally under half its points, that ally gains 2 AC for at least 2 turns. The duration increases with your Paladin level.
Turn the Tide.
As a bonus action, you can bolster injured creatures with your Channel Divinity. Each creature of your choice that can hear you within 30 feet of you regains hit points equal to 1d6 + your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1) if it has no more than half of its hit points.
Implementation Notes: Works as intended. Functions as a mass healing word to allies and neutral characters within 30 feet.
Champion Challenge.
As a bonus action, you issue a challenge that compels other creatures to do battle with you. Each creature of your choice that you can see within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, a creature can't willingly move more than 30 feet away from you. This effect ends on the creature if you are incapacitated or die or if the creature is more than 30 feet away from you.
Implementation Notes: Works as intended. Since most battles won't have more than 20 characters, you will be able to choose up to that.
Divine Charge.
Rush through enemies leaving a divine mark in your wake. Deal 2d6 Radiant damage and generate 2 turns of Radiant orb on enemies.
Level 7
Divine Allegiance.
When a creature within 5 feet of you takes damage, you can use your reaction to magically substitute your own health for that of the target creature, causing that creature not to take the damage. Instead, you take the damage. This damage to you can't be reduced or prevented in any way.
Implementation Notes: Works 95% as intended. Can react on any creature except your enemy (reduce the number of pop-ups) and take damage for said creature. Any type of smite will deal damage to that creature due to how Larian coded how attacks are implemented.
Unyielding Saint.
You have advantage on saving throws to avoid becoming paralyzed or stunned.
Implementation Notes: 50% works as intended, you gain resistance to being paralyzed and constitution saving throws (How Larian hard coded that save)
Level 20
You have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical weapons.
Your allies have advantage on death saving throws while within 30 feet of you.
You have advantage on Wisdom saving throws, as do your allies within 30 feet of you.
This effect ends early if you are incapacitated or die. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.
Implementation Notes: 95% works as intended, you gain resistance magical resistance.
All of my mods work with other mods that are updated with Community Library. Make sure that Community Library is first on your load order and the Compatibility Framework Mod comes after my paladin mods. If you want more flexibility - download Plus Subclasses - Previewer by Raizan. They're good people and have awesome mods you should check out.
Yes! Make sure you have everything else updated.
I have a feature request!
Sure, please know that I may not always add them in if involves wildly changing the subclass, or I'm busy working on other projects.
I love your mods, I want to share an idea for a subclass/class!
Thank you for your support! If you have an idea for me, please DM me and we can work out a possible commission for your subclass idea. Unfortunately, I have other freelance work that keeps me busy, so if you want your mod done quickly, Nitreaux does subclass mod commissions. If you'd still like me to take you on as a client, I'd be happy to hear your subclass ideas.
Will you make "X" subclass?
Possibly, right now my main jam is Paladins, so most likely I'll make my version of the class.
Your subclass is overpowered/unbalanced/etc.
Thank you for your feedback, I'll try to make changes where I can. But to be clear, I'm not Larian or WotC, I make things I like and I think that would be fun. If you're not a fan, I can respect that but I'll stick by my work.
This mod is fully loaded with its own class icons and CF compatibility!
Installation Instructions (Using Vortex/BG3 Mod Manager)
- Download and Extract OathoftheCrown.zip
- Have Community Library and Compatibility Framework installed. Make sure Community Library is loaded in first in your mod load order. Compatibility Framework should loaded after all modded subclasses supporting CF.
