Oaths and Oathbreaking
Keeping Your Oath
Your choice of subclass during Character Creation determines the Oath you have taken. See Oath of the Ancients, Oath of Devotion or Oath of Vengeance for the full text of each Oath. The basic tenets can also be found embroidered on your starting Armour.
As a Paladin, you must constantly adhere to the tenets of your Oath or you will lose the power it grants you. Taking any action that breaks your Oath will summon the Oathbreaker Knight and temporarily prevent you from using your 
Channel Oath Charge abilities.
Here are some examples of Oathbreaking actions. Note that the specific types of actions that break an Oath may change as Larian continues to develop the game.
- Oath of the Ancients: Killing a non-aggressive animal, raising the dead, or choosing an "Attack" dialogue option when more peaceful options are available.
- Oath of Devotion: Attacking a non-hostile creature, refusing to defend someone who is obviously in need of aid, or deceiving your enemies (e.g. negotiating a peaceful resolution and then attacking anyway).
- Oath of Vengeance: Convincing someone not to take their revenge on their transgressor, letting the guilty go without punishment, betraying those who were in need of vengeance and siding with their oppressor.
Warning: If you break your oath you MUST restore your oath before a class change!
Becoming an Oathbreaker
*A spasm grips your chest. Your strength falters. An emptiness grows within you, Paladin. Something has been lost.*
Unlike the other Paladin subclasses, the Oathbreaker subclass is not available during Character Creation. Once you have taken an action that breaks your Oath, the Oathbreaker Knight will appear before you and let you know he will be waiting in your Camp. Speak with him to learn about Oathbreaking and, if you so desire, unlock the Oathbreaker subclass. This replaces the Channel Oath Charge Channel Oath abilities and Spells from your previous Oath with new abilities and Spells available only to Oathbreaker.
Restoring Your Oath
If you broke your Oath by accident or otherwise wish to re-dedicate yourself to your Oath, speak to the Oathbreaker Knight in your Camp. He will offer to restore your Oath for a fee of 1000gp. This will allow you to once again use your Channel Oath Charge abilities. However should you break your oath again, the cost to restore your oath will increase to 2000gp. If you break your oath a third time, the price will increase to 10000gp. There is no apparent limit to this increase.
