Design Note: Oath of the Ancients Updates
[1] Here are the main updates in this subclass since Player's Handbook (5e):
- Nature's Wrath can now restrain multiple creatures of the Paladin’s choice within 15 feet of them instead of one creature within 10 feet.
- Turn the Faithless has been replaced by Abjure Foes in the base class.
- Aura of Warding now enhances the Paladin’s Aura of Protection and provides resistance to Necrotic and Radiant damage.
- Undying Sentinel now also heals you.
- Elder Champion is now a Bonus Action instead of an action, and it benefits all your spells, not just Paladin spells. You can also regain the use of it by expending a 5th-level spell slot.
