* [[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 {{Resource|co}} 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 {{Resource|co}} Channel Oath abilities and Spells from your previous Oath with new abilities and Spells available only to [[Oathbreaker]].

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 {{Resource|co}} 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.
