Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player breaks their Paladin\u2019s oath in the best way possible Larian StudiosOne of the best things about Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is its ability to let players create their own stories, and complete quests in their own ways. However, sticking to your character\u2019s morals doesn\u2019t always go as well as you\u2019d expect. Paladins are notoriously tricky to play, either in Dungeons & Dragons or in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3. They often follow a strict moral code and will usually fear becoming an oathbreaker for a reason. Due to this, if you\u2019re playing the class, you have to be pretty careful to stay in the realms of your oath, which for some, can be much harder than expected. One Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player has had an extremely unfortunate, yet hilarious incident with their Palidin, leaving them labeled an oathbreaker, and fans can\u2019t help but find the whole story undeniably laughable. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s oathbreaking Paladin leaves fans \u201claughing so hard\u201d Posting their troubles on Reddit, one Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player shared this story about their Oath of Devotion Paladin: \u201cThere was an unconscious dwarf with 1hp lying on the floor. I didn\u2019t have any healing spells prepared, so I thought, hmm, I\u2019ll just shove a potion bottle into his body. But then, as I saw the shiny flask in the midst of its trajectory, it dawned upon me\u2026 I had tavern brawler feat, which added a certain amount of my strength to the items I throw. And I realized then, this also affected potions\u2026 To my horror, my devotion paladin who saved countless people, became a murderer, this breaking his oath, because he didn\u2019t adjust his strength properly when throwing a healing potion at a dwarf\u2026\u201d Essentially, the player lost their oath purely because they threw a healing potion too hard toward a dying NPC. Naturally, the post blew up, with players descending on the comments to laugh about the unfortunate situation. \u201cThat\u2019s hilarious. I hope you tell your story to the other oathbreaker paladin after he shares his traumatic origin story with you,\u201d highlighted one user. Others joked how the player\u2019s actions are \u201cgonna look bad on the holy report card\u201d, while others slightly justified the scenario in the most Warlock way possible, explaining how \u201cthe road to the Hells is paved with the best of intentions.\u201d Naturally, many used the story to joke about how that\u2019s exactly what a Barbarian would do, with one user sharing their idea for a new character, otherwise known as a Barbarian nurse, who would be \u201cthrowing healing potions across the room and causing more havoc than good.\u201d Other Barbarians had different ideas, opting to instead suggest that the Paladn could\u2019ve thrown the dwarf to a healing potion\u201d instead. Along with the jokes and hilarious story, one user posed a useful piece of advice for anyone worried about the same events happening to them: \u201cThrow the potion at the floor next to the target, don\u2019t just go around throwing bottles at injured people.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
