how did I break my oath and how to get it back?

[Phil khajeets]

As a paladin I pretty much killed every evil and monster ever astarion,hag,karlach evil warlock slave trader etc.

how is my oath broken and do I need to be a oathbreaker and pay the oathbreaker knight to get it back ?
It said I couldnt use my paladin powers but I still can use them and last time I used it in a dialogue option

Killing Karlach might have been what did it.

You're still a Paladin just a different variant to the one you selected at game start, Oathbreaker is basically a hidden subclass with its own features.

Long rest and you'll have a Oathbreaker paladin arrive at your camp. You can either take his test to get your oathbreaker powers or pay him 1000 gold to regain your Oath.

(Also Tieflings aren't monsters. They're a humanoid race like any other)

I had Kerz talk to the Oathbreaker Knight. He never asked me for 1000 Gold or take a test. He just went on about how I was heading to the Darkside. Which I told him I don't want to go to the Darkside.

Same happened to me .

I think we need to become oathbreaker first to go back to regular paladin oath

Nah I didn't get it after killing karlach I killed karlach minute I saw it down the river I got the oathbreaker thing at least 10 hours after I killed karlach.
Like some guys said in first comments It was probably due to looting/stealing and asking for money to people I save and do favors

[SepphorisVT]

It sounds like you selected Oath of the Ancients.
Doing something that guards don't like will break your oath. Stealing, trespassing, etc. This is probably why.
Requesting money from others doesn't break your oath. If it ends up in a fight, then maybe.
Additionally, it could have been something act-specific. Every Act has choices and actions that will break your oath.

The game is scripted to break your oath on a lot of conditions for all 3. I had constant problems attacking people preemptively, and put the class aside as unplayable as you have to go talk to them first, which invariably puts you in a low ground death trap position, and then fight out of that instead of taking the high ground and shooting first.

that aside, karlach IS a paladin at heart. Tieflings have demonic blood, but are not evil by nature. They are in a catch 22 of sorts... people see a demon and judge them, making them resort to crime etc as they struggle to get jobs or be accepted in normal societies and having to live in ghettos or outskirts etc. Likewise some warlocks are bound to less than evil entities, though nothing goodly is likely the fey are neutralish. Who do you even consider to be 'good' in this game? Very few outside your party would meet your standards, and in your potential party, half of those are out.

Question. If you break your oath can you just respec with Withers for 100g back into your old oath or does it keep you as oathbreaker and make you spend 1000?

you can't respecc at all until you pay the Oathbreaker Knight and have your oath restored.

she isn't a demon though

Alignment trap.

I would say she's chaotic good or possibly neutral good.

Definitely not a devil and Paladins can usually sense these things, so you wilfully attacking a goodie who was giving you every reason not to......

I did an oath of vengeance as my first toon and murdered every bad guy. Like, didn’t select attack as a dialogue option. I gathered as much info as possible and then manually attacked pretty much every “bad guy”, including the goblin children, which counts as murder and never broke my oath.

I did sense it hence she is dead on my viewing apparatus and her head is given to charitable noble paladin order vowed to fight against demons.
