How to become oathbreaker

[Firemonkey]

So I've tried multiple different things already and nothing works, I let the goblin in the druid grove out of her cage, I made the goblins in the blighted village leave me alone and then I attacked them and I randomly killed those 3 people near the entrance to the druid grove
I'm oath of devotion btw and nothing seems to work, any advice greatly appreciated

dont remember about devotion but letting the goblin out breaks vengeance oath

I broke my Oath as a Vengeance Paladin by killing the bird on Nettie's table.

Don't let the goblin out, let the guard kill her

Thx a lot

So can I just go up to Andrrs and stab him and that’s all?

I broke my oath of devotion by accident this way:

1) Shadowheart invisibly poisoned the goblin drinks
2) My paladin proposed a toast (and successfully avoided drinking)
3) When the goblins asked if I had poisoned them, I said yes. Then we fought.

After that, my oath broke. I don't know exactly which part of that did the deed (although I suspect it was poisoning them, even though Shadowheart actually poured the poison).

I wasted so much money buying my oath back I've never played a paladin again

why would you buy it back? the only paladin worth playing is oathbreaker xD

For future reference, the book you start out with tells you about your path and hints to you what to do as the situation comes up.

Devotion for example is:

Courage based actions.
Compassion based actions.
Duty based actions.

Random murder and general chaotic actions do not necessarily trigger one of the tenets.

I think all paladin Oaths can be broken very quickly at the start of the game by fighting the two tieflings who have Lae'zel trapped in a cage.

I’m way past that sadly
