== Oaths and Oathbreaking ==

A Paladin's Oath is not to be taken lightly: its power quite literally fuels your abilities.

=== Keeping Your Oath ===

Your choice of subclass during [[Character Creation]] determines the Oath you have taken:
{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border: none;"
|-
| style="width: 300px;" | [[File:Paladin Oath of the Ancients Icon.png|frameless|75px|center]] [[Oath of the Ancients]]
| style="width: 300px;" | [[File:Paladin Oath of Devotion Icon.png|frameless|center|75px]] [[Oath of Devotion]]
|-
| '''Kindle the Light.''' Through your acts of mercy, kindness, and forgiveness, kindle the light of hope in the world, beating back despair.

'''Shelter the Light.''' Where there is good, beauty, love, and laughter in the world, stand against the wickedness that would swallow it. Where life flourishes, stand against the forces that would render it barren.

'''Preserve Your Own Light.''' Delight in song and laughter, in beauty and art. If you allow the light to die in your own heart, you can’t preserve it in the world.

'''Be the Light.''' Be a glorious beacon for all who live in despair. Let the light of your joy and courage shine forth in all your deeds.
| '''Honesty.''' Don’t lie or cheat. Let your word be your promise.

'''Courage.''' Never fear to act, though caution is wise.

'''Compassion.''' Aid others, protect the weak, and punish those who threaten them. Show mercy to your foes, but temper it with wisdom.

'''Honor.''' Treat others with fairness, and let your honorable deeds be an example to them. Do as much good as possible while causing the least amount of harm.

'''Duty.''' Be responsible for your actions and their consequences, protect those entrusted to your care, and obey those who have just authority over you.
|}
The basic tenets of your Oath can also be found embroidered on your starting [[Armor]].

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 [[File:Channel Oath Icon.png|frameless|upright=0.1]] [[Channel Oath]] abilities.

Here are some examples of Oathbreaking actions. Note that the specific types of actions that break a given Oath may change as Larian continues to develop the game.
* Oath of the Ancients: Killing a non-aggressive animal or choosing an "Attack" dialogue option when more peaceful options are available.
* Oath of Devotion: Attacking a non-hostile creature, refusing to defend someone who is obviously in need of aid, or deceiving your enemies (e.g. negotiating a peaceful resolution and then attacking anyway).

=== Becoming an Oathbreaker ===

{{Quote|*A spasm grips your chest. Your strength falters. An emptiness grows within you, Paladin. Something has been lost.*}}

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border: none;"
|-
| style="width: 250px;" | [[File:Paladin Oathbreaker Icon.png|frameless|center|150px]] [[Oathbreaker]]
|}

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 [[Camp]]. Speak with him to learn about Oathbreaking and, if you so desire, unlock the [[Oathbreaker]] subclass. This replaces the [[File:Channel Oath Icon.png|frameless|upright=0.1]] [[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 [[Camp]]. He will offer to restore your Oath for a fee of 2000gp. This will allow you to once again use your [[File:Channel Oath Icon.png|frameless|upright=0.1]] [[Channel Oath]] abilities.

== Level Progression ==

 Through experience, you acquire new power. You gain the following trait:

-=== Keeping Your Oath ===
+== Skills ==
+ You receive a bonus to every Skill that you are Proficient in. This bonus increases as you gain levels in your Class and applies to all Checks for those Skills.
-Your choice of subclass during [[Character Creation]] determines the Oath you have taken. See [[Oath of the Ancients]], [[Oath of Devotion]] or [[Oath of Vengeance]] for the full text of each Oath. The basic tenets can also be found embroidered on your starting [[Armour]].
+<span style="font-size:120%;">Level 1 [[File:Proficiency Icon.png|frameless|upright=0.1|link=Proficiency Bonus]] [[Proficiency#Proficiency Bonus Chart|Proficiency Bonus]]: +2</span>
+* Inherited Skills: Granted by [[Character Creation#Playable Races|Races]] and [[Character Creation#Backgrounds|Backgrounds]].
+* Skills with Proficiency (Choose 2):
+** [[Athletics]]
+** [[Insight]]
+** [[Intimidation]]
+** [[Medicine]]
+** [[Persuasion]]
+** [[Religion]]
-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. (Other Paladin class features and always-prepared Oath spells will still be available.)
-Each subclass has different actions that will cause its oath to be broken. Here are some examples (see each subclass's individual wiki page for a more complete list):
+== Oaths and Oathbreaking ==
-* Oath of the Ancients: Killing a non-aggressive animal, raising the dead, or (in some cases) choosing an "Attack" dialogue option when more peaceful options are available.
-* Oath of Devotion: Attacking a non-hostile creature, refusing to defend someone who is obviously in need of aid, or deceiving your enemies (e.g. negotiating a peaceful resolution and then attacking anyway).
-* Oath of Vengeance: Convincing someone not to take revenge on their transgressor, letting the guilty go without punishment, betraying those who were in need of vengeance and siding with their oppressor.
-=== Becoming an Oathbreaker ===
+A Paladin's Oath is not to be taken lightly: its power quite literally fuels your abilities.
-{{Quote|size=120%|*A spasm grips your chest. Your strength falters. An emptiness grows within you, Paladin. Something has been lost.*}}
+=== Keeping Your Oath ===
-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]].

+| '''Kindle the Light.''' Through your acts of mercy, kindness, and forgiveness, kindle the light of hope in the world, beating back despair.
-[[Withers]] will not respec a Paladin with the Oathbreaker subclass. Restoring the original Oath (see below) will enable the respec service again.
+'''Shelter the Light.''' Where there is good, beauty, love, and laughter in the world, stand against the wickedness that would swallow it. Where life flourishes, stand against the forces that would render it barren.
-=== Restoring your Oath ===
+'''Preserve Your Own Light.''' Delight in song and laughter, in beauty and art. If you allow the light to die in your own heart, you can’t preserve it in the world.
-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.
+'''Be the Light.''' Be a glorious beacon for all who live in despair. Let the light of your joy and courage shine forth in all your deeds.
+| '''Honesty.''' Don’t lie or cheat. Let your word be your promise.
-== Level progression ==
+'''Courage.''' Never fear to act, though caution is wise.
-Through experience, you acquire new power. You gain the following traits.
+'''Compassion.''' Aid others, protect the weak, and punish those who threaten them. Show mercy to your foes, but temper it with wisdom.
-{{Level header|1}}
+'''Honor.''' Treat others with fairness, and let your honorable deeds be an example to them. Do as much good as possible while causing the least amount of harm.
