Channel Divinity
3rd level Oath of Mercy feature You gain the following two channel divinity options:Charitable Healer. You use Lay On Hands as a bonus action with your Channel Divinity as you empower your divine healing. For the Lay On Hands used to activate this feature and for the next minute, whenever you attempt to restore 5 or more hit points to a creature other than yourself with Lay On Hands you can use your bonus action instead of your action and you add your Charisma modifier to the number of hit points restored.
Last Kindness. Some pain has only one remedy. As an action using your Channel Divinity, you present your holy symbol and choose a creature you can see within 30 feet of you. If the creatures' current hit points are equal to or less than twice your paladin level, they die.
Sympathy
7th level Oath of Mercy feature When you deal damage to another creature with Divine Smite or restore hit points to another creature with a spell or feature you can create a sympathetic bond, either bolstering their resolve or dulling their aggression. Once per turn when a creature you are bonded to makes an attack roll you can roll 1d6 and either add or subtract the result to their roll (your choice). You can choose to do this after the creature rolls, but before the DM says whether the attack is a hit or miss. You cannot use this feature while you are incapacitated. This bond remains for the next minute but ends early if they end their turn more than 10 feet away from you. This distance increases to 30 feet at 17th level.Benevolent Presence
15th level Oath of Mercy feature Creatures have difficulty unleashing their full aggression upon you. When a creature within 30 feet of you deals damage to you with an attack, you reduce the damage taken by your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1). This feature has no effect on a creature immune to being charmed.Compassionate Aspect
20th level Oath of Mercy feature You can assume the form of a benevolent champion. Using your action, you undergo a transformation. Once you transform, choose any number of creatures within 30 feet of you and they become bonded to you as if by your Sympathy feature. Then for the next hour, you gain the following benefits:- When a conscious creature bonded to you by your Sympathy feature starts their turn they regain 5 hit points or painlessly take 5 psychic damage, your choice.
- When you target a single creature with a paladin spell, Channel Divinity option, or Lay On Hands, you can target an additional creature with the effect (ignoring range) provided that both targets are bonded to you by your Sympathy feature.
