'''Paladin''' is one of the [[Character Creation#Playable Classes|Playable Classes]] of Baldur Gate's 3. Whether sworn before a god’s altar and the witness of a priest, in a sacred glade before nature spirits and fey beings, or in a moment of desperation and grief with the dead as the only witness, a Paladin’s oath is a powerful bond. It is a source of power that turns a devout warrior into a blessed champion.
