The gods are not always right, and sometimes men swear oaths that they cannot keep. I reject both of these notions, and have set out to build a Lawful Good Oathbreaker. They might also believe that the only true path to redemption for an Oathbreaker is for them to renew their oaths and then the player would have to switch all their class abilities around. It exists in the DMG, a source material players don't often navigate, and most people playing a paladin want to be that hero in shining armor, the champion of a god, not some shunned warrior hated by the members of their former clergy as the DMG makes them out to be (requiring an Evil alignment, which I will be ignoring for this build). The Oathbreaker Paladin falls under the same camp as the Undying Patron Warlock in that it is not hated so much as it is forgotten. The boy was run through by a lance from another paladin as Vledjas hesitated, his pleading and weeping, trembling in terror, snot running down his face, all silenced when his rib-cage collapsed under the crunch of that sickening iron stab. Who was Vledjas to dole out such decisive judgement? He was selfish, spoiled and ignorant, true, the cause of many innocent deaths, but only because he'd been taught no better. The man was but a boy, really, a teenager, thrust onto a throne, unlearned in the ways of ruling. He could've ended it right there, but as he watched that shivering shell of a man, Vledjas' only thoughts were of his daughter, and how she must have felt that exact same terror moments before her death. Just one good thrust through the chest and the misdeeds were punished, his people avenged. Vledjas stood towering over his trembling foe, halberd raised for a final strike. Ordinary foes might win my mercy, but my sworn enemies do not.
