Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General I HATE the Oath Breaker Paladin

I agree that the Oathbreaker as implemented is stupid.
Good - usualy, or Evil, Paladins always have been LAWFUL.
Something which the Oathbreaker is not, as the class is about being Chaotic with Evil tendencies.
With Allignment gone, the Oaths were to represent the Lawful aspect of the Paladin.
Holy Warrior? A Fighter with Divine spells? - as things stand in BG3 IMO Ranger - with " Ranger Knight" favourite enemy - is closest to the concept.

I'd be hapy to have Paladn "as is" axed, instead at lvl 3 of Fighter there being be a 4th subclass called Paladin (Crusader?), a mirror image of Eldritch Knight but wth Clerical spells.


BTW - would it kill Larian to limit choice of Domains to 2-3 favoured by the selected Deity? E.g. I do not quite see Gruumsh approving of his Priesthood selecting Knowledge or Life Domain, for instance ...
I loved how in WFRPG the entry for War Priest - open to all Cults, even e.g. Goddes of Geeky Nerd's 'R' Us Verena, as "the priesthood takes in all kinds nowdays, while in my time ...", nevertheless flately stated - Profession cannot be entered by Clerics of Shallya (Goddes of Life, Compassion and Healing).
