Lore question about minthara spoliers

[gimpdr]

minthara is a paladin, so that means she gets her power from her god, which was 1st loth which granted her, her paladin powers right? then it became the absolute which granted her, her paladin powers, when we free her from the absolute control she rejects the worship of gods both loth and the absolute, so how does she keep her paladin powers? wouldnt they go away?

[Raz]

Paladin's have not gotten their power from gods in a long time, so no, she wouldn't have lost her powers. That's why they are called Oath's now as they pledge to a creed, not a deity. They can pledge a creed to a deity for their power, but unlike a Cleric, a deity isn't yanking the Paladin's magic away at a moments notice just because.

Larian Homebrews Paladins a bit as well as there is some flexibility to the Vengeance Oath compared to how Oaths in general work. So long as vengeance is in the heart of the Paladin, even if the focus of that vengeance changes, they keep their powers.

In my play runs, she does lose her paladin powers. I re-class her to something more useful for my party.

But on topic, I don't pay much attention to the lore in the game. But paladins who serve the Absolute, should be Oathbreakers. She esp. is endorsing a bunch of scums in the Goblin camp.

Paladin powers come from their oath, not a god. Cleric powers come from their god.

IIRC, 5e paladins don't get their power from their deity, they get it from their commitment to their oath. So Minthara keeps her power because she's still committed to her oath.
