Oathbreakers Can't Respec ♪

[Clive Hawkins]

According to the dev video, an Oathbreaker Paladin cannot respec until you atone for your sins and regain your original Oath. A nice little detail

That's actually pretty cool.

It's great excpet it handicaps a player that wants to respect because the gold cost is 10 times the amount that it takes to respect. I chose Paladin to be my party's healer, but I would need to bankrupt us now if we want to have better heals in the party. It's a cool idea RP wise but to take gold away from my friends who want to buy stuff for their characters to avoid me feeling like my class is less helpful to the group (and less fun but that's just an opinion) is a little too gridy for a game designed to not be hardcore by nature.

I think being unable to respec out of Oathbreaker is fine, but I think it would be good if we could at least respec our Stats, feat and fighting style as an Oathbreaker. I broke my Oath by coincidence by saving Mayrina and also accepting the Ability point from the Hag, which resulted in letting her go. - It was cool, since it was unexpected, but I wanted to at least change the build I was running to match more with an Oathbreaker playstyle, which I am unable to.

It would be super cool if there wasn’t a game breaking bug right now that crashes your game every time you try to atone and take your oath back, but as the game currently plays, you are completely stuck as an Oathbreaker, and also with your leveling decisions in act 3.

Yup. I had to pay that trashy oathbreaker paladin money to regain my oath so I could respec. Now I've been running around for over 20 hours with my vengeance paladin, because apparently it's borderline impossible to break that oath in the further into the game. Or maybe I'm missing something. I've been really forgiving though. But I guess not forgiving enough...

Guess I should just respec again, pick devotion paladin and kill a kid or something.

Is there any ETA for a fix for this dev induced bug?
Why is one class denied the same ability that ALL other classes have?
I want to play a Oathbreaker and experiment with him but i cant, because it´s a evil character?
My game has completely stopped in his tracks!
I dont get it, i thought this was a roleplay...

PSA:
There is another bug here that's related to this. If you redeem you oath and break it again later (including when respeccing), there is a big chance the oathbreaker paladin just won't show up again.
At least that happened to me. I managed to break my oath again after like 30 hours of playing, but the guy just wouldn't show up. And yes, I do have the broken oath status.

getting a hireling and speccing them into a healer isn't expensive at all, it also makes sense you can't keep breaking your oath over and over and over and just able to buy it back.

[videomike_Ultimate_Plushie]

WHY?! Thats stupid! Why would you purposely put a higher risk with a single class and punish them when you dont provide an equal system to every class!

[Brady4444]

It doesn't make sense to restrict respec for oathbreakers. The 'in character' or 'in universe' logic can't apply since all the other class/subclass choices can be respeced.

yeah and is imersion/roleplay breaking to do so.
So we should not have to that to be able to respec our MC.
Nobody is asking to respec oathbreaker out of MC, we want to respec while maintaining our oathbreaker level

Easiest solution is to just reload the save before you broke your oath, and just respec that way. unless you are far into the campaign then

how is that a solution to play a oathbreaker?

I think after you broke your oath you should just have unlocked the oathbreaker subclass for that char and be able to respecc into everything exept the other oath subclasses. The other oathes are only available after reclaiming your oath. I mean why should breaking my pala oath lock me out from other classes if i can even still multiclass into them?

I think that is to stop an exploit to dodge the broken oaths fine by just abandoning paladin by using other classes. Maybe using your idea on two lower difficulties would be fine. Did you multi-class into necromancer to resurrect this thread?
