Wednesday Oct 23, 2024
Wednesday Oct 23, 2024
This week we’re going over the subclasses NOT in the 2014 Player’s Handbook for the Paladin class! These Oaths span as many tenets as questions I had after watching Tenet directed by Christopher Nolan. We’re going to talk about all the different Auras, Oath Spells, and Capstone abilities that these Pally’s get! So make sure your Divine Sense is active because there’s a bunch to go over!
What's YOUR favorite Paladin Subclass?!
And remember to give us 5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ AND a positive review! This helps us so much! Tell your friends!

About Us
Taylor & Justin
We are two nerds who love playing games with our friends! As two neurodivergent people, we know what it's like to feel anxiety about running a game of D&D. That's why we wanted to make it more approachable and fun to try out being a Dungeon Master (or game master, lore keeper, etc). We hope to tear down the barriers that prevent players from getting behind the screen!
