Oath of the Wild
Paladin’s that swear the Oath of the Wild are rarely seen within a major city. They prefer to spend their time honing their craft in the Wilds. These Paladins excel at tracking down and destroying the evils of the world. Often, they prefer to make their attacks from range, though they are capable melee fighters as well.
Tenets:
The Tenets of this Oath revolve around tracking and destroying evil, and protecting the living world. Spending nearly all their time in the wilderness, Paladins of this Oath share similarities to their Ranger and Druid brethren, in that they appreciate the natural beauty afforded by the wild areas outside of civilization.
Beauty: The forests and streams and mountains and prairies of the world are truly things of wonder. Protect them.
Protection: I must protect the wild and civilization, as they form a symbiotic relationship that makes us all better.
Chaos: The wilderness is ever-changing. I embrace change and adaptation in everything.

However, you may no longer use Divine Smite or Improved Divine Smite with melee weapons.

It takes the form of any beast of CR 1/4 or lower in the Monster Manual, and takes its attack action on your turn. The beast disappears if it or its target is reduced to 0 hit points.
Auras of the Wild: At 7th level, your connection to the Wild extends to your allies. Instead of affecting an area, your Auras affect individual allies within 1 mile of you. At 7th level during a short rest, choose one ally that your auras will affect, and one additional ally at 11th, 15th, and 18th levels. You may choose new allies during a short rest. Additionally, you and the allies you select cannot be charmed while you are conscious.
Wild Cunning: Upon reaching 15th level, you are suffused with holy power. While not wearing heavy armor, you may use a bonus action to take the Dash, Dodge, or Hide action. Additionally, when tracking Undead or Fiends, you always know their numbers and how far ahead of you they are.
Divine Fervor: Beginning at 20th level, you are so infused with divine fervor that divine power comes naturally to you. If your total for a Dexterity (Stealth) check or a Wisdom (Survival) check is less than 20, you may take 20 on the roll instead.

Tenets:
The Tenets of the Oath of Shadow revolve around the secrecy of the Oath. Paladins of this Oath usually work alone, but will sometimes venture out with a party in order to take down the vilest of evils.
Secrecy: If evil knows I exist, it can target me. Stay hidden as much as is possible.
