A very incorrect belief tho. Your spell casting focus is a holy symbol or emblem. The PHB clearly says “By 2nd level, you have learned to draw on divine magic through meditation and prayer to cast spells as a cleric does”. You have a Channel Divinity in a game where divinity is understood to mean energy from the upper plains. Paladins are still just jock warlocks that work with the churches. That being said a Paladin’s oath can just tie to a pantheon instead of one god. Clerics specialize, Paladins don’t need to.
@@anoneamose4866 "The PHB clearly says *blah* *blah* *blah* " I really hate to do this to you, because I'm sure you're probably a nice guy, but this just has to be said. Is the PHB your daddy or something? It doesnt matter how the PHB tells you to make/play a character. The whole point of the game is to make it your own and play who you want to play. You can absolutely be a paladin that's basically just a normal knight who's sworn an oath, and flavor your spells as just standard actions and abilities. As long as you're still adhereing to the mechanics you can do whatever you want. Yes your divine smite is still a divine smite, and is thus going to have the same applicable and affectable effects, but that doesn't mean you can't flavor it to just be a normal heavy strike or some kind of For Honor esque special attack. At the end of the day adding flavor is one of the best parts of making a character, especially after you've played a bunch of basic cookie cutter characters and want to try something different. Not every rogue needs to be sneaky, not every druid needs to be a forest-hugger, and not every Paladin has to be religious.
@Mal Masterson first. Don’t say you really hate to do something and then be demeaning. Its disingenuous and is immediate cause for me to give your point of view less consideration. Second. The point is to give some reason to how the class is able to work. You tell me how making a promise to nothing gives you actual magical powers that overcome the magical defenses fiends and monsters might have. If you want to play a guy that just hits really hard, then play barbarian or brute fighter and give yourself a code of honor. We are talking about an ability that leaves you if you don’t hold up your end of the roleplay. “You won’t help the innocent? You lost your paladin powers” Go ahead. Explain to me how breaking a promise you made with yourself in the mirror would take away your ability to hit a guy really hard. I’ll wait. And also. Since making an oath to the air can give me power, then what stops me from just making an Oath of Selfishness and now I have power for myself to benefit me as I see fit and as long as I take care of myself I have it and I made it to myself and will never take it away from myself. Yes its fantasy, but it needs a code or back bone to support it and give it value. If there are no rules or explanations at all, then the story loses meaning and texture. Making a promise to nothing grants you nothing.
@@anoneamose4866 First of all, yes you are correct that it does sound like I'm being disingenuous, and there's not much I can do about that considering we dont know eachother personally, and I really don't care if you don't take my words into consideration, because that's up to you. I'm just providing a counterpoint, and decided to add a funny joke in there. I just got done watching some Hazbin Hotel stuff, I was in a jovial mood, and I thought it was funny. Second, yes I can explain that. I never said that the oath is to yourself. It is to whomever or whatever you want, because you as the player make that decision based on what's available to you. I literally stated that you should still adhere to the mechanics of the game (unless their DM allows/says otherwise). Meaning that if say you make an oath of conquest to a king, and you do something that the DM deems isnt in line with that oath based on the one you toom, then they have the power to warn you and/or take it away from you depending on the situation, and say something like "the king deems you a traitor and puts a bounty on you. Your subclass features will be disabled for the time being until you make another oath or repair your current one". You're saying this as if there isn't a player who's job is to know their players, create the story, and handle rulings in their game. It doesnt matter who the oath is sworn too. If your character wants to make an oath to themselves because they want to be a better person or something, that's fine, and I've had players do that before. Third, The backbone is the mechanics of the game itself, as I stated before, I'm not saying that his spells are no longer spells, that his divine smite is no longer doing divine damage, or even that what his oath says to do doesn't matter. Just that if they want to flavor it a certain way, they can, as long as they still adhere to the mechanics built into the system. In fact, if they want to make a mechanical change (i.e. homebrew or UA), then I'll consider it depending on the circumstances, but that's just me.
Yeah the amount of potential with a character like this is epic, if you make it so the he is a Chaotic Good character you could have alot of fun with it!
My favorite paladin was someone who decided to play the town guards from skyrim but they did it in a really sneaky way only slipping in bits well last session they were fighting some goblins and one of them rolled a 20 and knocked him unconscious this was his last session as he was moving and his goodbyes were something along the lines of *I USE TO BE AN ADVENTURER LIKE YOU UNTIL I TOOK A ARROW TO THE KNEE* then the table said goodbye he was fun
My favorite is my homebrew satyr who works as a soldier for the seelie fey, especially it's queen Titania, who she is in love with (also shes true neutral cuz paladin + hedonist) and I love her so much
Ok, so since paladins come from an oath, DMs, you can make someone who can make your paladin start to question their oath. So, like a villain that makes them think their oath is wrong. IDEAS
One of my NPC's who was intended to be a villian was a pretty extreme Oath of Vengeance paladin who was also the captain of the guard in the area the campaign took place. By the end he didn't question his oath but rather his means to carring out said oath. Realizing vengeance doesn't have to mean slaughtering every criminal for even the most minor of crimes but is rather misdeeds just being punished accordingly and he becomes a genuinely good person by the end
6:52 My goliath champion fighter basically did this when my party desperately needed a double long rest (we were super exhausted) and ended up in a tavern that was run and patronized almost solely by tieflings. The staff had treated us pretty coldly at first, but I had a feeling that their attitude was because they were used to a certain regular clientele and were wary of strangers suddenly showing up. Plus certain members of my party were starting to get a bit rude, so another party member and I were careful to be extra polite. Then without explaining what my thinking was, I gave one of the staff double what I owed for my meal. Pretty much all the players at the table were incredulously telling me that I didn’t need to pay that much and I said, “I know. I want to.” The staff started to warm up to us after that, and we were even able to learn more about the social hierarchy of the city / dimension we were stuck in. Turns out that in this particular setting, tieflings and aasimar (there was one in the tavern by this point) were considered to be on the lowest rung of the social ladder, while giant-kin, like my goliath and another player’s firbolg, were on the highest rung. Certainly helped to further explain the staff’s attitude toward us!
Player: oh cool you’re paladin. What’s your oath? Paladin: I am going to rid the world of aLL BREAD ONE LOAF AT A TIME. Party: yeah, okay, sure. Have fun with that.
I want to meet the God that would accept that Oath. Cause you Paladins still need a God to accept their Oath. And the only type of God I see accepting that is oath is a bored Chaotic Evil one .
r.a.w. Zone of truth doesn't compel you to speak, it only prevents intentional lying. Just saying. That seems to be something many people misunderstand about zone of truth. You can still avoid the topic or remain silent, you just can't (intentionally) lie.
It also doesn't prevent you from being evasive with your answers. PC to god: How do we kill you? God to PC: I don't know for sure, nobody's succeeded yet.
I am currently working on a paladin of redemption who uses his fists to fight... and a shield. He was tricked to use a sword of vengeance in a sparring match and his mentor died freeing him from the cursed blade. Since then he refuses to use any weapon.
Oath of redemption is more like "Hey man...I get it..life is hard. You dont have to be evil though to succeed... Why dont you sit with me and pray...no? Violence it is then."
my friends and I like to fuck around with classes a bit, we were challenged to reskin a class, so I reskinned the paladin to be... magical girls. had a lot of fun with it.

PoorSmolChildIsSmol most oaths are on going. Life long commitments to a deity or pantheon. Oath of vengeance (arguably oath of justice) isn’t just a promise to get back at the scum that destroyed your village, but also a promise to avenge the helpless and downtrodden where ever you can. It’s kinda like the gods are giving you what you want and your acts are payment, but they expect interest.
My DnD pally is the the Yin to the yang of all the pally community xD she only works for herself and she only protects others if it's useful to her and then her deity is Lexoran and I love her
Technically yes and technically no. Yes your Oath is the source of your power but you still need to swear it to a God and have them accept it. And no God in D&D is going to allow you to kill everyone. Since their power as Divine beings is tied to the amount of worshippers they have. And you wanting to kill everyone kinda puts a damper in that.
I'm late to the party, but our Paladin was stuck with watching not a rogue, but a mimic (my character because homebrew.) I acted like the party's rogue, and our paladin, wizard, and cleric had to keep an eye on me to keep me from 'accidentally' eating the wrong things (AKA shiny stuff and meat). This was further confounded by our barbarian, the pirate, and the bard who all kept feeding me the corpses of NPCs they had killed in one way or another. It got so bad our Paladin finally screamed at them "STOP FEEDING THE MIMIC DEAD BODIES DAMNIT!!!"
6:04 I have never cast Zone of Truth, but I'm pretty sure I saw somewhere that it's like Veritaserum from Harry Potter, it doesn't force you to say something honestly but it does prevent you from lying so the god could just not say anything, or at least not acknowledge the question.
6:00 nothing in zone of truth forces them to speak so he can just not talk also nothing prevents him from being cryptic as fk, so in this case awnser: with great difficulty
The first one gave me an idea for a way I can make a joke I have wanted to make with a character. Context: I am in a wheelchair. IRL, I have quoted Kung Fu Panda a few times, but I would love to do it in-game. "My old enemy... stairs," A paladin who hates stairs with a burning passion...
It’s also incorrect. Your spell casting focus is a holy symbol or emblem. The PHB clearly says “By 2nd level, you have learned to draw on divine magic through meditation and prayer to cast spells as a cleric does”. You have a Channel Divinity in a game where divinity is understood to mean energy from the upper plains. Paladins are still just jock warlocks that work with the churches.

Kobold atificer (presumably blows up too many things) gets help from a paladin who most likely seen too much s**t regarding them and (reluctantly) helps them... nice
That first one doesn't really add up. By that logic fighters can't be knights because they couldn't swear an oath without getting the ability to SMITE and suddenly just be a Paladin. That and other classes swear oaths as well, and their powers come from a very different source (See Druids and Warlocks)
Knights don't necessarily have to be holy or use holy magic. They only have to be warriors of a nation, fight for King and country, or fight in the name of a deity. Just because they fight in the name of a deity doesn't mean they have to swear an oath. My personal issue with the first one is that, in the Paladin class, you get your oath at level 3 and it mentions that the previous levels were preparation for this oath. Bit odd, but maybe it's just you fully making your promise, which has been building up over time and been possibly fueled by a god for their own purposes. As for warlocks, they do not swear an oath, they make a pact, which is basically a business deal. And for druids, they're moreso just protectors of the environment or people who can control nature.
So basically Paladins take an oath of some sort. After a certain amount of time, some diety will notice you and give you part of their power? I'm an absolute DnD noob, so please correct me if I'm wrong.
Well, it depends on how you flavor it. The oath could be entirely out of your own emotion and force of will i.e. Charisma, or it could be a god blessing you like how it would bless a cleric, or it could be both, with a god noticing the oath you made and blessing you as well, possibly because your oath aligns with their domains or morals, or because they need you to fight their enemies.
I cannot remember that the "eat shit and die" "fuck you" bit is from but I know I've seen it. also the song when the dude is picking his class, anyone know what it is? I hear it in these things a lot.
"Your power doesn't come from your deity, but from your oath."

Kobold atificer (presumably blows up too many things) gets help from a paladin who most likely seen too much s**t regarding them and (reluctantly) helps them... nice
My sister is creating an excessive Paladin. His name is going to be 'No Tsumi' which means 'No sin'
What is the song that starts at 3:16
That first one doesn't really add up. By that logic fighters can't be knights because they couldn't swear an oath without getting the ability to SMITE and suddenly just be a Paladin.
That and other classes swear oaths as well, and their powers come from a very different source (See Druids and Warlocks)
Knights don't necessarily have to be holy or use holy magic. They only have to be warriors of a nation, fight for King and country, or fight in the name of a deity. Just because they fight in the name of a deity doesn't mean they have to swear an oath. My personal issue with the first one is that, in the Paladin class, you get your oath at level 3 and it mentions that the previous levels were preparation for this oath. Bit odd, but maybe it's just you fully making your promise, which has been building up over time and been possibly fueled by a god for their own purposes. As for warlocks, they do not swear an oath, they make a pact, which is basically a business deal. And for druids, they're moreso just protectors of the environment or people who can control nature.
i love dnd👌
So paladins are basically running off or green lantern energy
My Oath of Ass-kicking Paladin: 4:43
0:53 A PALADIN WHO PRAYS TO UNFORTUNATE KOBALD'S CABBAGE CARTS RIGHT BEFORE THEY ARE HIT BY A METEOR (I know I miss-quoted that)
6:09 the funniest one.
Actually, it is. If you reject your deity, you lose your power
So basically Paladins take an oath of some sort. After a certain amount of time, some diety will notice you and give you part of their power? I'm an absolute DnD noob, so please correct me if I'm wrong.
Well, it depends on how you flavor it. The oath could be entirely out of your own emotion and force of will i.e. Charisma, or it could be a god blessing you like how it would bless a cleric, or it could be both, with a god noticing the oath you made and blessing you as well, possibly because your oath aligns with their domains or morals, or because they need you to fight their enemies.

Unconventional paladin, willing broke his oath so he could continue serving his God without a soul.
Yup- my paladin doesn't have a deity her power simply comes from how much she loves the world. Oh how I am going to ruin this character.
