Paladin - Oath of Solidarity
Lena, Selfless Champion, by Lucas Graciano
The Oath of Solidarity is for paladins whose sympathies lie with the common folk, willing to face down oppressive nobles and tyrannical kings to keep the people safe.
Solidarity paladins are noble and selfless knights, champions of the commons and willing to fight against tyranny. Where a Devotion paladin might swear to their god or church first, and a Crown paladin to their king, Solidary paladins put the people above all else. They stand on the front lines, guarding others and serving as the shield of the revolution; but they also know when to fight another day and can slip into the crowd accordingly.
Design-wise: This one took a little while to bake. Feature-wise, it's a "paladin's paladin" in many ways - with a bonus spell list that includes a lot of hits off the paladin list, and abilities to save allies or grant them temporary hit points. But I wanted to get a little subversive flavor in there too: dimension door for crucial escapes, private sanctum for secret meetings, and their Face in the Crowd channel for slipping away undetected. Aura of Support bolsters their revolutionary allies, and Sword of Revolution lets them lead in the thick of the fight. And Power from the People, their avatar capstone, makes them an unbreakable bulwark, standing up against the mighty. Pairs well with the Agitator Rogue.
