Channel Divinity
When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Divinity options.
Channel Divinity: Marine Layer
As an action, you channel the sea to create a thick cloud of fog that surrounds you for 20 feet in all directions. The fog moves with you, remaining centered on you and making its area heavily obscured. You and each creature within 5 feet of you instead treat the area as lightly obscured. This fog lasts for 10 minutes, spreads around corners, and cannot be dispersed unless you choose to end this effect (no action required).
Channel Divinity: Fury of the Tides
As a bonus action, you channel the powerful might of the waves to bolster your attacks for 1 minute. Once per turn for the duration, when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can choose to push the target 10 feet away from you. If pushed into an obstacle or another creature, the target takes bludgeoning damage equal to your Charisma modifier.
Aura of Liberation
Starting at 7th level, you fill nearby creatures with the energy of movement. While you’re not incapacitated, you and creatures of your choice in your aura cannot be grappled or restrained, and ignore penalties on movement and attacks while underwater. Creatures that are already grappled or restrained when they enter the aura can spend 5 feet of movement to automatically escape unless they are bound by magic restraints.
Stormy Waters
At 15th level, you can call on the force of crashing waters as a reaction whenever a creature moves into or out of your reach. The creature takes 1d12 bludgeoning damage and must succeed on a Strength saving throw against your spell save DC or be knocked prone.
Mythic Swashbuckler
At 20th level, you learn to channel the spirits of historic sea captains to embrace the spirits of the sea to briefly become a paragon of heroic adventure. As a bonus action, you gain the following benefits for 1 minute:
- You have advantage on Strength (Athletics) checks and you gain a climbing speed equal to your walking speed. If you already have a climbing speed, it is doubled.
- If you are within 5 feet of a creature and no other creatures are within 5 feet of you, you have advantage on attack rolls against that creature.
- You can take the Dash or Disengage action as a bonus action.
- You have advantage on Dexterity checks and Dexterity saving throws against effects you can see.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest, unless you spend 5 mana to use it again.
