[QUOTE="Primitive Screwhead, post: 2466624, member: 20805"] I like this idea.. and think fleshing it out could be a good thing. A thought on building new Oaths: from the base 4 above, you get either: A> A per day SU ability, minor defensive ablity, and an improvement on the SU ability B> Ability that advances with levels and a detection capability C> A major SU ability Formualting this into a 2nd level, 4th level, 6th level gains, while not exactly matching the PHB class, would make it easier to come up with proper abilities for Oaths. Also this could give a built in Atonement, as the benefits of the oath only start applying after you have proven to have lived it, falling from grace can be atoned by seeking forgiveness and then proving true again, regaining the abilities after you have earned the proper amount of XP....as if you had restarted at 1st level. off the cuff thought: Oath of the Protector Conduct: The palidon swears to act in defense of a community, with actions based on what threat that community is facing. Perhaps prepare the militia and stand on the village ground against violent invaders. Perhaps hunt down the dark force or being that haunts the towns streets at night. Perhaps representing a minority group to the cities mayor. Perhaps leading the Kings army to stop the spread of the Barbarian Hordes. He must never accept more payment than common room and board. He may be without a community to defend for no more than a month.. a month which needs to be spent seeking out a community to protect. Benefit: Starting at second level, the palidon can exude an aura of Inspire Courage (as the Bard song ) once per day per level. This effect lasts as long as his allies can view him weilding his dietied favored weapon and 5 rounds thereafter. An affected ally receives a +1 morale bonus on saving throws against charm and fear effects and a +1 morale bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls. At 8th level, and every six bard levels thereafter, this bonus increases by 1 (+2 at 8th, +3 at 14th, and +4 at 20th). Inspire courage is a mind-affecting ability. {for ease of ruling, if mounted.. within 120 feet, if on higher ground.within 90 feet, if on foot in melee combat.. 30 feet, assuming normal vision conditions.} Starting at 4th level, the palidon gains A +4 insight bonus to Sense Motive, Spot, Search, Diplomancy, Survival, and Investigate* when the check is in support of defeating the threat to the protected community. anywho..
