Breaking Paladin Oath?

[EwokHunter]

So I made a paladin, and fresh out of the tutorial I save Lae'zel from the tieflings that have her up in the cage only for some oathbreaker to show up and tell me I've broken my paladin oath? Not really sure what's up with that or what I did to trigger it. Does being a paladin lock you out of certain options?

Once I scrape 1000 gold together I'll get my oath back but there wasn't any indication that a particular path of actions would lead to it getting broken.

Did you happen to rescue Lae'zel by killing the tieflings? Because killing innocents breaks your Paladin oath.

It does not tell you but your oath description will tell you what kinda actions will likely break your oath..

If you lied to the tiefling and turned around and attacked them, that will break your oath. If you just attack them that can break your oath . Paladins are tricky

Depending on your Oath, you are limited to "moral" actions that would be in line with the obligation you took. Go against one of those directly and you can either work to "redeem" yourself or become and Oathbreaker.

When you select the paladin, there is a description on the subclass page about what oaths have what tennents, you just have to act in accordance with those. you also have a book in your inventory that does the same thing.

Did you kill the tieflings?

I see. That's pretty frustrating, I got to the point where the only thing I could do was turn on the teiflings. Feels like I was backed into a corner of break oath or don't get the companion.

Good news, is Oathbreaker is a fantastic subclass and you are no longer bound by your Oath and can be a "good guy" or "bad guy" as you please. Bad news is if you wanted one of the other subclasses, you have to "play by the rules" as it were.

You. took. an. oath.

I hated that moment.

They still haven't fixed it?

It turned me off from the game multiple times because I always went into the encounter expecting the possibility of a diplomatic solution where nobody has to die but never manage to reach one, I want to get Lae'Zel down and so I am forced to commit multiple homicides.

You are not worthy...filthy oathbreaker

Oathbreaker gets some great spells too, like Darkness. Take a two-level dip into Warlock for Eldritch Blast, then for your invocations, Agonizing Blast (if you have decent CHA) or Repelling Blast (if you dumped CHA) and Devil's Sight. You'll have a solid ranged damage spell plus Devil's Sight to see in magical darkness. Plus the Paladin/Warlock combo is very thematic for an Oathbreaker.

Says who snitch.

Just a heads up to others if you have to kill innocents have your paladin only use non-lethal attacks. This will not trigger a break in oath.

I was always able to tell the tieflings to just...walk away...

I took the vengence oath and it let me trick the thieflings without breaking my oath. Anyway, you can just re-take your oath I think at the camp.
