The fact that they didn't say it was temporary worries me a bit. I do like the encounter.
A bit off-topic but reacting to a previous comment in this thread :
Ideally along with a more nuanced representation of what it is to adhere to or break paladins' oaths, though I'm trying to reserve my judgement on how the game handles oaths until I've completed my paladin playthrough.
Not going to lie, the way it
seems to work made me loose a bit of interest in the paladin class. I do try to reserve judgement, like you, I'm not far enough in my playthrough to have an actual feel of it. Thing is, I picked Ancient oath paladin, which is not lawful (PHB : "This oath emphasizes the principles of good above any concerns of law or chaos"). But the way the game
seems (so again, I need to go further in my playthrough) to represent it at the moment feels very lawful. And my brain doesn't work that way 😅 That's also why I'm not a fan of alignements in the first place (especially in a video-game vs real life where it can be discussed). It's very much up for interpretations.
We'll see how it actually goes 🙂.
