    Default Paladin subclass with damage reduction aura?

    I'm pretty sure it was UA playtest material, but after not being able to find it, I'm wondering if it was a homebrew.

    Anyway, I remember seeing a Paladin Oath with a 7th level aura that was damage reduction equal to it's Cha mod. I think it was just from bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage, but I can't remember that or what Oath it was. Does anybody know what I'm talking about? I've been out of the game since COVID came around.

    I thought it might have been one of my homebrews, specifically a custom oath crafted specifically for a super hero concept. It seems it was never actually a feature, just one I'd considered as a possible replacement for an existing feature.

    So probably not what you were thinking of.

    Weirdly, I also have a vague recollection of a paladin subclass with a damage reduction aura, but I can't remember where I saw it. I checked all the UA paladin subclasses on 5etools and none of them had anything like that.

    Judging from the lack of responses, it clearly was not a UA release. Must have been some homebrew that came through. I remember it being a cool idea if not a bit OP.

    Try changing the thread title to something like "Paladin subclass with damage reduction aura?", as the current thread title is vague and doesn't really tell people skimming the forum what you're looking for. Most people don't click on a thread unless the thread title is intriguing enough to grab their attention.

    I believe Treachery is the only paladin oath that hasn't made it from UA to full print so far, so I'm guessing it's a homebrew.
