[QUOTE="PsyzhranV2, post: 7820626, member: 7015332"] If by "tank", you mean soaking damage that would otherwise go to the party squishies and by forcing attention on yourself, no. The Oath spells are mostly utility and party buffs, and their Channel Divinity is for boosting DPR. They're not quite as Smite-happy as Vengeance, but still can pump out respectable damage and should focus on doing so. Crown and Redemption make better dedicated tanks, as both get better spells to debuff enemies, and can make themselves in the enemy sights by interfering with their ability to attack other people in the party - both can divert damage done to other party members to themselves, and Crown's Champion Challenge is effectively a multi-target Compelled Duel while Redemption's Rebuke the Violent can finish off audacious enemies but at the cost of a reaction. However, they may need healer support or they'll rack up a lot of damage taken pretty quickly. [/QUOTE]
