; Hit points

: At level 1: {{InfoBlob|10 + {{Ability|Constitution}} modifier}}

: On level up: {{InfoBlob|6 + {{Ability|Constitution}} modifier}}

: {{Ability|Strength}} or {{Ability|Dexterity}} for physical attacks

: {{Ability|Charisma}} for Spells, Aura and Channel Oath Abilities

: {{Ability|Constitution}} for Hit Points and {{Concentration}} Checks.

; Saving throw proficiencies

: {{Ability|Wisdom}}, {{Ability|Charisma}}

; Equipment proficiencies

: {{SimpleWeaponsProf}}, {{MartialWeaponsProf}}

: {{LightArmour}}, {{MediumArmour}}, {{HeavyArmour}}

: {{Shields}}

; Skills with proficiency (Choose 2)

: {{Skill|Athletics}}, {{Skill|Insight}}, {{Skill|Intimidation}}, {{Skill|Medicine}}, {{Skill|Persuasion}}, {{Skill|Religion}}

: You receive a bonus to every [[Character Creation#Skills|Skill]] that you are [[Proficiency|Proficient]] in. At character level 1 the [[Proficiency Bonus]] is +2.

; Spellcasting Ability

: {{Ability|Charisma}}

Paladins are primarily martial fighters; they gain Spell Slots at 1/2 the rate of a full spellcaster.

; [[File:Prepared Spells Icon.webp|24px]] [[Spells#Prepared Spells|Prepared Spells]]

: You may swap your Prepared Spells at any time while out of combat, but can only have a certain number of Spells prepared at a time. The Spells must be of a level for which you have Spell Slots.

: Number of Prepared Spells = {{InfoBlob|Paladin Level + {{Ability|Charisma}} Modifier}} ''(Minimum of 1 spell).''

As a Paladin, you must constantly adhere to the tenets of your Oath or you will lose the power it grants you. Taking any action that breaks your Oath will summon the [[Oathbreaker Knight]] and temporarily prevent you from using your {{R|chaoat|icononly=yes}} Channel Oath abilities.

Unlike the other Paladin subclasses, the [[Oathbreaker]] subclass is not available during [[Character Creation]]. Once you have taken an action that breaks your Oath, the [[Oathbreaker Knight]] will appear before you and let you know he will be waiting in your [[Campsite|Camp]]. Speak with him to learn about Oathbreaking and, if you so desire, unlock the [[Oathbreaker]] subclass. This replaces the {{R|chaoat|icononly=yes}} Channel Oath abilities and Spells from your previous Oath with new abilities and Spells available only to [[Oathbreaker]].

=== Restoring your Oath ===

If you broke your Oath by accident or otherwise wish to re-dedicate yourself to your Oath, speak to the Oathbreaker Knight in your [[Campsite|Camp]]. He will offer to restore your Oath for a fee of 1000gp. This will allow you to once again use your {{R|chaoat|icononly=yes}} Channel Oath abilities. However should you break your oath again, the cost to restore your oath will increase to 2000gp. If you break your oath a third time, the price will increase to 10000gp. There is no apparent limit to this increase.
