The lucky few that are touched by the mauve starlight are considered great miracles in Uldanni society, and are nurtured to be soldiers, heroes, and great leaders.* : *These paladins are as stalwart as their ancestors, and possess a profound sense of order, which doesn't always make them benevolent, by any means. Their* \ *powerful presence can be suffocating at times,* \ *and their own self-importance can --and* \ *often does -- make them extremely* \ *arrogant.* : *When the conditions are right, however,* \ *and the great power of the Eminence* \ *doesn't turn the Paladin's pride and* \ *talent into selfishness and narcissism,* \ *these warriors can become the greatest* \ *of heroes.* : *Oath of Eminence Paladins are, in the end,* \ *what they make of themselves. Their great* \ *and terrible power is as much a blessing as* \ *it is a curse. They cannot be free of the tainted* \ *star's flame, and so they must make something* \ *great of themselves, to honor their gift.* : *Perhaps that is why they disdain chaos in any form. They are reminded of the freedom they never had. These kids never got to choose, in the end.* \page #### Channel Divinity When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Divinity options. : ***Eminent Weapon:*** You wreath your weapon in purple flames. For the next minute, your weapon gains a +1 to attack and damage rolls, sheds bright light out to 30 feet, and is considered magical. In addition, you can add your Charisma modifier to the damage roll of your weapon attacks instead of your Strength modifier. : ***Regal Presence:*** You harness the power of the ascended teng and, for a brief moment, shine with their regal energy, giving your allies a surge of inspiration and a glowing shield of mauve light. Up to four allies within 30 feet of the you gain 1d6 inspiration and 15 temporary hit points until the end of their next turn. #### Oath Spells You gain oath spells at the paladin levels listed. : 3rd: *Bane, Protection from Evil and Good* : 5th: *Borrowed Knowledge, Hold Person* : 9th: *Speak with Dead, Hypnotic Pattern* : 13th: *Locate Creature, Banishment* : 17th: *Bigby's Hand, Dominate Person* #### Amaranth Aura Starting at 7th level, your presence becomes overwhelming, making those with ill-intent towards you incapable of harm. : Any creature that targets you with an attack or a harmful spell must first make a Charisma saving throw. On a failure, they are incapacitated until the end of their turn. A creature that succeeds this saving throw or the effect ends for it is immune to the Amaranth Aura for the next 24 hrs. This feature isn't triggered by area effects, such as the explosion of a fireball. : At 18th level, when you use your *Regal Presence* channel divinity, any enemy within 30 feet that has become immune to your Amaranth Aura can now be affected by it again. #### Magic Resistance Starting at 15th level, you have advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects. \column #### Eminent Soul At 20th level, as an action, you can call upon the power of the Teng to bless you with Eminence. For the next 10 minutes, you gain the following benefits. : *Limited Magic Immunity:* You cannot be affected nor detected by spells of 5th level or lower unless you wish to be. : *Eminent Protection:* You becomes resistant to fire, cold, thunder, lightning, and poison damage. : *Breach Space:* Once per turn, you can use a bonus action to teleport to an unoccupied space within 60 feet. : *Antimagic Smite:* Whenever you uses your Divine Smite, any concentration spells, ongoing magical effects, and spells being prepared or held within 30 feet of you end, provided they are of 5th level or lower. {{note,background-color:gainsboro,position:relative,top:10px #### Tenets of the Eminent Star *Those blessed with the power of Eminence do not have set, structured oaths, such as other paladins might. In the end, the light of the Eminent Star is a silent god, that requires nothing, but order, excellence, and perhaps, transformation.* : *This said, the Uldanni have created a code to follow, for those that take the mantle of the Amaranth Blessing.* : ***Honor your City.*** Only the elves of the great Uldann are blessed by the Last Flame of the Teng. You must protect and honor your birthplace beyond anything else, for that is the purpose of your blessing. : ***Maintain Order.*** There is no virtue in chaos. Freedom leads to anarchy. Maintain the order you were born in and many will continue your legacy after you are gone. : ***Be Remembered.*** Beyond anything, ensure your purpose will reverberate through the ages. You are powerful, you cannot tarnish your birthright by fading into obscurity. : *Note: these tenets are demonstrably false. Many other races can become Eminent paladins beyond Uldann, and there is no particular pull towards order over chaos, as the Eminent star is an amalgam of both worldly logics.* }} {{imageMaskCorner32,--offsetX:50%,--offsetY:-50%,--rotation:0 ![](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1105488303710543923/1157396451379400795/tomfarlane_a_violet_nebula_an_astral_plane_starfall_shooting_st_a5aff73c-5881-4bc1-bc78-d98661385edd.png?ex=65191db1&is=6517cc31&hm=a80afeb670aada2ff772af1c36148cedab6964721afc48cf61ac5b655dadc52e&=&width=3000&height=3900){height:120%,transform:scale(-),bottom:-650px,left:150px} }} {{imageMaskCorner32,--offsetX:-20%,--offsetY:-80%,--rotation:30 ![](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1105488303710543923/1157396451379400795/tomfarlane_a_violet_nebula_an_astral_plane_starfall_shooting_st_a5aff73c-5881-4bc1-bc78-d98661385edd.png?ex=65191db1&is=6517cc31&hm=a80afeb670aada2ff772af1c36148cedab6964721afc48cf61ac5b655dadc52e&=&width=3000&height=3900){height:120%,transform:scale(-),bottom:-700px} }}
