Paladin: Oathbreaker

Oath Tenets

An Oathbreaker is a paladin who breaks their sacred oaths. Whether because they no longer believe in their oath, wish to pursue some dark ambition, or serve an evil power. Whatever light burned in the paladin's heart has been extinguished. Only darkness remains. Oathbreakers have no tenets.

Oathbreakers cannot take the Oathbound optional feature.

Undead Minion. The Zombie is bound to your will and clings to it's animation. it has the following traits:

If the Zombie takes damage from an attack or as the result of a failed saving throw, it dies.
If the Zombie takes damage from an effect other than an attack roll or saving throw, it becomes Bloodied if the damage equals or exeeds half its hit point maximum, or it dies if the damage equals or exceeds its hit point maximum. otherwise, it takes no damage.

If the Zombie would become Bloodied while it already has the condition, it instead dies.
When 4 or less Zombies attack the same target, they make one attack roll, gaining a +1 to hit for each Zombie participating. on a hit they all deal damage.

Undead Fortitude. If the Zombie starts its turn with 0 hit points, it makes a DC 14 Constitution saving throw, unless it took radiant damage or a critical hit since its last turn. On a success, the Zombie gains 1 hit point. A Zombie with 0 hit points is killed instantly if it is attacked.

Mindless Thrall The Zombie cannot wield weapons, wear armor, or take any action besides Grasp of the Dead.

Level 20: Dread Lord

At 20th level, you can, as an action, surround yourself with an aura of gloom that lasts for 1 minute. The aura reduces any bright light in a 30-foot radius around you to dim light. Whenever an enemy that is frightened by you starts its turn in the aura, it takes 4d10 psychic damage. Additionally, you and creatures you choose in the aura are draped in deeper shadow. Creatures that rely on sight have disadvantage on attack rolls against creatures draped in this shadow.

While the aura lasts, you can use a bonus action to cause the shadows in the aura to attack one creature. You make a melee spell attack against the target. If the attack hits, the target takes necrotic damage equal to 3d10 + your Charisma modifier.

After activating the aura, you can’t do so again until you finishes a long rest.
