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 ===
=== 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.
