Dont think that it has been brought up in this thread. But Ive seen people argue in other threads on this forum on this same topic, as well as on Reddit, that Paladin powers dont come from deities. But rather some random oath force (i.e thin air). Hence ny previous post.


This is just a personal their, but I think WOTC implemented The whole powers connected to oaths was to give an alternative to the stereotype. They did it to have a more loose system that wasnt as rigid. Also its alot easier to Connect stuff to more general oaths that can cover several deities in one oath. Rather than make specific oaths to each god etc. Thats just my theory though, havent really read up on reason for emphasis change.
In that case, I agree with what you are suggesting and I think much of the forum is in fact in agreement with you. We all just have different ways of expressing it.
