* Killing someone non-hostile, even by "accident" (e.g., an NPC steps into an area-of-effect spell, such as Moonbeam or Spike Growth, and dies).
* Actions that guards do not like, or add the "Witness" status, appear to cause a broken Oath; even attacking Duergar after telling the Deep Gnomes you'll free them in [[Grymforge]] has caused this.
** Note that starting combat via conversational choices rather than attacking directly does seem to mitigate this most of the time.
* Shoving someone to their death also counts as breaking the oath. This sometimes also includes evil characters such as Assassins of Bhaal in the arena where you fight [[Orin]].
