Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Paladins share ridiculous reasons for breaking Oath Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 players are coming across some of the oddest ways to become an Oathbreaker Paladin. Through leveling up your Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 character, you\u2019ll become familiar with the various subclasses the game has to offer. While the vast majority of these can be seen on your level-up screen, Oathbreaker is a Paladin subclass that you have to earn by engaging in specific behaviors while playing. Paladins are characterized by their sworn devotion to their holy Oath. Each type of Oath has a strict set of principles associated with it, which the Paladin is granted divine abilities to defend. If a Paladin chooses to abandon these righteous goals, their powers can be revoked. They can instead embrace the darkness and respec as an Oathbreaker. So, while all Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players have moral judgments to consider while playing, these are all more crucial for those of the Paladin class. However, there are some surprising ways that players have managed to accidentally break their Oaths. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Paladins can break their Oaths in the strangest ways A player took to the BaldursGate3 subreddit to lament having broken their Oath of Devotion through what they considered an act of kindness. After Arabella\u2019s parents were killed in Act 2, they decided to save her feelings by lying to her and saying they are merely missing rather than dead. Protecting Arabella from this difficult reality is a pretty understandable decision to make, but apparently it didn\u2019t fly well with the player\u2019s God: \u201cI left the conversation and BAM, broken Oath of Devotion. I guess kids get no exceptions for harsh truths.\u201d Many commenters on the post were also deemed morally unfit by their Gods too. For example, while healing NPCs by throwing potions is a handy way to deliver some concentrated aid, it comes with some risk for Paladins. Bonking comrades with a bottle of medicine has the chance to also deal damage to your ally. Some unfortunate players found out the hard way that is a total no-go for upstanding Oathtakers. Getting pinned as an Oathbreaker might be cause for some to hit F8 and do a spot of save-scumming. However, there are still plenty of mechanical and roleplaying benefits of embracing the chaos of breaking your Oath. That said, you might want to make up a more impressive tale of corruption than just lying to a child.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
