Lunar Guardian

A paladin sacred oath

Those belonging to the Oath of the Lunar Guardian also known as the Order of the Silver Moondancers. Striving to keep peace, balance, and harmony these paladins live to stop chaos and disorder from spreading and are expected to embody these ideals. Their armor and weapons are usually adorned with a crescent moon and ornate silver ornaments depicting peaceful society and law and order.

"Lead with mercy, patience, and compassion. Inspire others to unite in fellowship."

Some virtues and wisdoms shared across generations in the Lunar Order.

Tenants of the Lunar Guardian

Harmony and Balance - Reflect the balance of the natural world through peaceful conduct and wise countenance. You shun chaos, deceit, and killing, and must show mercy to your foes when necessary.

Be Merciful and Just - Show mercy to your foes but temper it with wisdom. Those who are beyond redemption, who revel in slaughter and remorseless evil, must meet swift justice.

Compassion and Equality - Aid others, protect the weak, and punish those who threaten them. Exemplify acceptance, equality and equal access, tolerance, and understanding; treat all other beings as equals.

Be the Moon in the Dark - Through your acts of courage, kindness, and forgiveness, kindle the light of hope in the world, beating back despair.

Honor - Treat others with fairness, and let your honorable deeds be an example to them. Do as much good as possible while causing the least amount of harm.

Moonlight (On enemy) - An enemy creature affected by Moonlight emits light in a 10-foot radius centered on themselves. This lasts until the end of your next turn. If your ally attacks that creature while it's affected by moonlight , that creature takes an additonal 1d6 Radiant damage and the moonlight is consumed.

Moonlight (On ally) - An allied creature affected by Moonlight emits light in a 10-foot radius centered on themselves. This lasts until the end of your next turn.
