The Paladin is the epitome of a holy warrior in Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition<\/em>. As warriors of their gods, they pick Oaths to follow which grant them great strength. There are currently nine playable oaths in the tabletop game\u2014three of which are in Baldur’s Gate 3<\/em>\u2014and they all take a unique spin on this melee damage-dealing class. <\/p>
A Paladin’s Oath is selected at level three. The Oath contains a series of Tenets that a Paladin is expected to follow over the course of the game or risk losing their Oath abilities while they repent. A Paladin may choose to break their oath and become an Oathbreaker, typically by performing a ritual after breaking their oath that binds them to darker powers.<\/p>
A Paladin’s oath comes with spells that are always prepared and a once-per-short rest Channel Divinity charge that can be used in two unique ways. They gain additional abilities at level seven (usually some kind of divine aura), level 15, and level 20.<\/p>
