Paladin sucks

[Sparhawk122]

The oath stuff is dumb

I wanted to kill Minthara by telling her the grove location. My plan was to then go warn the grove and set a trap for Minthara and kill her with the help of the grove as allies.

But my dumb Paladin oath counted the first stage of my plan as breaking my oath?

So Paladins are not allowed to be strategic or something?

This dumb writing.

The game is buggy as ♥♥♥♥ with oath...
I've tried all the 3 oaths, and all of them did break while I did nothing wrong...
They ended with some npcs being attacked by ennemies when triggering an event.
for exemple : in Act 3, there is an event where you have to save Volo of a timed bomb.
I've saved him, yet the bomb did explode, not my fault, yet it damaged some random npcs and I lost my oath + I ended up being arrested...
Next play I will turn fully evil and kill everyone just for the frustration of these stupid bugs !

Sounds like you’re just playing silly or making otherwise questionable dialogue choices. I have attacked bad guys after pretending to be their ally throughout the entire game, no oath broken. Playing vengeance paladin

Probably because he played Devotion, which cares about honor.. Meanwhile Vengeance Paladin, is "by any means neccesary" punisher style paladin.

Paladins who respect their oath are weak. Unshackle yourself from the restraints of superficial morals. Be free. Unleash your potential and wield darkness to destroy evil.

A true paladin wouldn't put others lives in danger. You'd fight her yourself. So yes. Oathbreaker.

Let me be edgy in BG3. In this game I can't ruin other peoples fun. If I would do this in a real TTRPG group it would be something to critize, but here? Naw.

There’s nothing wrong with it, every teen was edgy and it’s ok to indulge yourself. Was meant to be more friendly ribbing than anything else. I intend to do a somewhat evil play through myself

my pally is doing 30 ish dmg a hit at lvl 5 and they get some fun RP lines in the game, paladins arent meant to be played as scheming sociopaths

If you use someone else from your party to talk to her and choose the same dialogue options, your paladin won't break his oath.
Tested this yesterday with a friend in coop

Just sounds like you suck at Paladin-ing.

[Яeplicant]

From the sounds of it, you haven't been paying attention to what you were getting into when choosing the paladin class. I'm personally having a blast with my devotion paladin.

Smiting fiends left and right. Here's to hoping Carsomyr is in-game to smite even harder!

I assume that you chose Oath of Devotion. You're basically a knight of chivalry and you lying (even to your enemy) with the trap is considered dishonorable. End of the day, play Vengeance Paladin, if you don't want to play as a Oathbreaker...

I chose Oath of the Ancients.
