Channel Divinity

When you take this path at 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Divinity options.

Righteous Verdict : As a bonus action, you can utter a verdict against a creature you can see within 10 feet of you. You gain advantage on attack rolls against the creature for 1 minute, until it drops to 0 hit points or falls unconscious.

Execution Sentence : You can use your Channel Divinity to strike with supernatural accuracy. When you make an attack roll, you can use your Channel Divinity to gain a +10 bonus to the roll. You make this choice after you see the roll, but before the DM says whether the attack hits or misses.

Divine Storm

At 3rd level, when you deal damage with Crusader's Strike, all creatures of your choice within 5 feet of the target, except the target itself, must make a Dexterity saving throw against your paladin save DC or take radiant damage equal to the damage deal by the crusader strike.

Inquisition

In addition, when you hit a creature with an opportunity attack, you can move up to half your speed immediately after the attack and as part of the same reaction. This movement doesn't provoke opportunity attacks.

Shield of Vengeance
