Through numerous means of the cosmos, in order to recive gifts from the divine, one must make an oath to their deity that they swear to uphold. This can provide near countless benefits, depending on the oath that one gives.

Mechanics

Divine oaths are another word for a Clerics domain. Each cleric makes a sacred oath to their divine, and must uphold the chosen oaths or lose all abilities associated with being a cleric. Here is a list of all domains, and their associated oaths. When you reach the ability to cast spells of levels 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9, you may choose a new spell to gain access too from the appropriate list.

Air

Granted Powers: Control earth creatures as a cleric controls undead. You gain these abilities a total number of times per day equal to 3 + your Charisma modifier. This granted power is a supernatural ability, and stacks with the number of times per day a cleric can control undead, and may both be used freely as such.

Oaths

Oath of Flight: “Those that ride the breeze are blessed by the gods. I swear by them that I shall not oppose the breeze used by them.”

Oath of the Gale: “Never shall I refuse to billow a sail, upon the request of those who need it most.”
