So this isn't gameplay feedback, but just a couple of grammatical things to start with. (Dope class overall)

In the Tenets of the Grave:

"Any the paladin deems worthy of fighting..."

This is technically correct but I had to re-read it a couple times. It could be made more clear by changing "Any" to something like "Any that the paladin" or "Any foe the paladin".
____________________

In Honorable Reaper I think "This does not include surrendering" could probably be made slightly more clear. I'd probably change it to something like "A foe that initiated combat to only surrender is not protected by this oath". It's a little longer, but for example some adversaries may surrender before ever drawing their blade.

Mechanics wise I think the Aura of the Reaper is way too powerful. I know that the Oathbreaker has something similar, however it only applies to fiends and undead.

Considering that a Paladin's charisma can be really high early on, perhaps you could go with something like their proficiency bonus being the damage increase instead. or perhaps a shorter radius of affect.

Alternatively you could leave Aura of the reaper as is, and just switch it from being a 7th level ability to being 15th instead, and make Embalmers Resistance a 7th level ability.

Lastly, for the Aura, when the range extends, considering the power of the ability, maybe only make it increase to 15 feet instead of 30.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
