Oathbreaker?

[Emjay]

How do I unlock the oathbreaker?

I'm playing a Dark Urge campaign with a Paladin main with the intention of going oathbreaker. I have gone devotion and have let sazza get killed in the prison, I've done a few bad things actually, but the sazza one apparently unlocks it, but yet here I am, still serving devotion...

I plan on unlocking minthara too, although I may struggle with the decision as being an outright ass is difficult, but that's the plan so far.

So when exactly do I unlock it? Is it bugged currently? Or do I need to keep doing bad stuff?

Ta!

Break your oath.

Kill an innocent person, free Sazza the Goblin from Emerald Grove, kill the Owlbear mother and her cub, use Auntie Ethel's wand to resurrect Mayrina's husband, etc. Killing an innocent person will break the Oath of Devotion, as well as Oath of Vengeance. Anything that defiles the order of nature etc will break Oath of the Ancients.

Anyone know how to break the oath of vegence ? I want to do a paladin and i wonder how can you do it.

Each Paladin has an Oath to Break and not all will break it doing the same thing.

[DontMisunderstand]

Your paladin starts with a book in your inventory describing your oath. Break the tenets of your oath and you are given the option to become an Oathbreaker the next time you go to camp. If you want a very easy way to become an oathbreaker, just make a Drow Oath of Vengeance Paladin, and then go to where Laezel is. The tieflings attack you on sight and you're considered an Oathbreaker for defending yourself.

I did and it suggested I let sazza get killed. I did this and nothing happened... hence why I'm here.

Some things depend on what Oath you are.

Thanks, that's a more comprehensive list than what I was reading, however it still lists letting arka kill sazza as a trigger, which it didn't.

Am I supposed to be taking a long rest or something?

you would know instantly if you broke your oath.
as i said before, try freeing her instead.

Will do, thanks.

Failing that, I'll respect to ancients and kill the owl bears.

As Sinclair said, you will know right away. You paladin character will hunch hover and mutter some words to self. Then literally after that a cut scene will queue and you will have a talk with the Oathbreaker paladin who will then await at camp for you to discuss breaking your oath or paying penitence to keep it.

the idea here is, particularly with oath of vengence, is that you're supposed to destroy evil
whereas here you are basically siding with a servant of evil and setting them free, this should INSTANTLY break your oath as soon as the dialogue ends

Hmmm... Minthara is a paladin but she still help them. She suggest her oath endure even if her faith is broken, dosen't add up for me. Would have been better to make her an oathbreaker from the beginning, more interesting too.
