The Fairy Knight: a Paladin subclass for D&D 5E

Flavor wise this subclass is very nice, it does have a lot of overlap with the oath of the ancients paladin. The author does a good job of describing what this subclass feels like, the paladin tenants provided seem to fit nicely. Furthermore the spell-list makes sense and seems balanced. However during the channel divinity part some things can be improved:

-There are some weird sentences and formatting mistakes, making the first channel divinity way more difficult to read and understand than necessary . Take a good look at how other paladin oaths are formatted and just copy that format!

-The second channel divinity (changeling) seems really OP to me, unless I’m mistaken it seems like a more easily available and improved banishment spell.

-Some of the other abilities either are difficult to understand what they actually do (the sight for example) or are to strong forcing an foe to dance without any save (Court Dance).

Summarizing: Flavor wise this product does a good job! I totally get the idea of a flamboyant distracting fey paladin and the abilities supplement this. However at its current state the subclass is not playable, balance issues and vague or complicated abilities make it difficult to use. However! Should these issues be fixed this subclass could become a nice and flavorful addition!

EDIT: The author has updated the product, using some of my feedback. I see a lot of improvements, so good job! I think it warrants a 4 star rating now. PS: I know how difficult it is to get revieuws, I'am a starting contentcreator myself and getting people to rate your products is difficult.

Hello, and thank you so much! I don't usually get feedback on these so I really appreciate it. I have made some significant updates based on this review. I would love to know what you think of the changes! (I've uploaded the new file already, although I am not certain if it is showing up yet.) (For the record yes, Changeling was just a reskin of the lvl 4 Banishment spell, as I could not come up with any type of creature that the fey would be able to Turn. I had tried to make it a little less powerful by reducing the range (Banishment is 60 ft) and adding a spell attack roll to the saving throw (i.e. you must succeed a roll AND they must fail a roll in order for it to work) but clearly it was not enough! I've gotten rid of it/replaced it, and swapped Court Dance over to the second Channel Divinity (since it's very close to the Oath of the Ancients' Nature's Wrath, and since this is mostly meant to be a flavor thing I'm not too worried about ability overlap). Court Dance is also just a reskin (of Irresistible Dance), but I have added a saving throw to it.)
