Description
Paladins following the Oath of the Firebird are bound to a calling greater than valor or vengeance. Inspired by the mythic Zhar-Ptitsa, they are the guiding light before dawn and the blaze that stirs a broken soul back to its feet. Many who swear this oath have glimpsed the abyss, experiencing a moment of despair so profound it should have broken them. Yet at their lowest point, an act of kindness, whether through divine will or mortal hand, brought them back igniting their spark of hope ablaze. Now they carry that light with them, illuminating a world dimmed by despair. They see goodness not as a rarity, but a smoldering flame within every soul, waiting to be nurtured by kindness.
Tenets of the Firebird: The tenets of the Oath of the Firebird prompt the Paladin to become a spark of light amidst the darkest night, encouraging their peers to stand tall in the face of insurmountable odds and bringing out the best in them.
Stand Beside, not Above. Look down on no one, unless to extend a helping hand.
Kindle the Spark. Endeavor to bring out the best in others.
Nurture All Light. Let your judgment be tempered with empathy, and your acts guide instead of rebuke.

Hope for the Hopeless Nivel 3
As a Magic Action, you can expend one use of your Channel Divinity to gain Heroic Inspiration. While you have this Heroic Inspiration, you can spend a Bonus Action to grant Heroic Inspiration to one ally within 30 feet who can see or hear you. Heroic Inspiration gained in this way is lost unless used within the next minute. You can activate this feature as a Reaction instead, if you or an ally you can see or hear within 30 feet of you becomes Bloodied.
Aura of Blazing Vigor Nivel 7
Your flames kindle the spirits of those crestfallen, urging them to stand tall in the face of adversity. Whenever you deal Fire or Radiant damage, roll 1d8 for each enemy that was dealt this type of damage. You and each ally within your Aura of Protection regain a number of Hit Points equal to the amount rolled plus your Charisma modifier.
Undaunted Light Nivel 15
Those inspired by you shall come to discover they hold more potential than they knew. If a creature is subjected to damage that would reduce it to 0 Hit Points, or an effect that would kill it instantly without dealing damage, while it has Heroic Inspiration granted by you, the creature drops to 1 Hit Point instead. A creature can benefit from this effect once before it finishes a Long Rest.
Knight of the Breaking Dawn Nivel 20
As a Magic Action, you don a mantle of golden flames, removing the Frightened condition from all allies who can see you and are within 30 feet of you. You gain the benefits below for 10 minutes or until you end them (no action required).
Freedom Flight. You sprout fiery wings on your back, have a Fly Speed of 60 feet, and can hover, shedding bright light in a 30-foot radius and dim light for 30 feet beyond.
Rise from the Ashes. After you have dealt a total of at least 50 Fire damage, Radiant damage, or any combination of both while this feature is active, you can cast the Heal spell once before the feature's duration is over without expending a spell slot. When you cast Heal this way, all creatures of your choice within 30 feet of the target that can see the target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, they are Blinded until the end of their next turn.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a Long Rest. You can also restore your use of it by expending a level 5 spell slot (no action required).
