Hi there. This will be my first post here.
Like many others, I'm not exactly a fan of this Oathbreaker subclass or its implementation.
In no particular order:
i. If it is about ethics, morality, honour etc then how is waving one's cheque book at it any kind of sensible solution to regaining one's Paladin status?
ii. I got caught twice in my Paladin play. I can't remember what triggered the first one but I paid the 20k. The second time it happened was because I killed a hostile goblin(?) who hadn't had the chance to attack me (one of the other party members had started the fight). I didn't bother talking to the guy at camp and ignored him for the remainder of the game any without noticeable consequences.
iii. If you can choose Oathbreaker at level 1 then you aren't much of a Paladin really.
iv. I'm in the Blackguard/Anti-Paladin camp.
