Your choice of subclass during [[Character Creation]] determines the Oath you have taken. See [[Oath of the Ancients]] or [[Oath of Devotion]] for the full text of each Oath. The basic tenets can also be found embroidered on your starting [[Armour]].

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 {{SmallIcon|Channel Oath Icon.png}} Channel Oath abilities.

Here are some examples of Oathbreaking actions. Note that the specific types of actions that break an 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 the Ancients: Killing a non-aggressive animal, raising the dead, or choosing an "Attack" dialogue option when more peaceful options are available.
** This does not apply to the goblins guarding the [[Blighted Village]] in Act 1.  When confronted, you can choose the bottom "Attack" option and kill them without breaking your oath.
* 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 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 their revenge on their transgressor, letting the guilty go without punishment, betraying those who were in need of vengeance and siding with their oppressor.
'''Warning: If you break your oath you ''MUST'' restore your oath before a class change!'''

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.

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