When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following

two channel divinity options:

Fiery Judgement. As an action, you cause your passion to

erupt as sweltering heat in a 30ft radius around you for 1

minute. When a hostile creature starts its turn in the area, it

takes fire damage equal to half of your paladin level

(minimum of 1). You ignite flammable objects of your choice

in the area that aren’t being worn or carried.

Solar Flare. As an action, you unleash a brilliant flash of

light that can be seen from over 100 miles away. All hostile

creatures that can see you must succeed on a Constitution

saving throw against your spell save DC or be blinded until

your next turn. For 1 minute after taking this action, your

“aura” features have their range doubled.

You conjure a spear of crackling, lucent energy and toss it

towards a creature of your choice within range. Make a

ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target
