===Design Note: Oath of the Ancients Updates===
<ref name="ua23phpt6" />&nbsp;Here are the main updates in this subclass since {{pub|Player's Handbook (5e)}}:
* '''{{iplink|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.
* '''{{iplink|Turn the Faithless}}''' has been replaced by Abjure Foes in the base class.
* '''{{iplink|Aura of Warding}}''' now enhances the Paladin’s Aura of Protection and provides resistance to Necrotic and Radiant damage.
* '''{{iplink|Undying Sentinel}}''' now also heals you.
* '''{{iplink|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.
