'SACRED OATH' Syntax: oath <protection/devotion/vengeance> Syntax: oath eradication (Elf Paladin only) Syntax: oathbreak (this is irreversible. You will turn into a dark-knight!) Paladins of the 15th title are required to make a decision which will follow them for the rest of their lives. The oath they choose gives the paladin both powers from the Immortals for their service and also responsibility. Oath of PROTECTION: Believing in a cause greater than themselves, this paladin is sworn to serve it. It could be a king, a country, or a single person. Those who take the oath of protection may not lie, or fight dirty. They must treat others fairly, and aid and protect the weak. Most importantly, they hold themselves accountable for their actions. Note: They are allowed to refuse to answer and say it would be wrong to. Refusing to offer assistance to evils is paramount to a paladin. Oath of DEVOTION: This paladin is devoted to the gods. Kind, merciful and forgiving, and one who fights those who ruin all that is good and beautiful in the world. Those who choose the oath of devotion are reluctant to kill anything with a soul that can still be saved. Note: This paladin has a distaste for poison. They will not associate with poison or with anybody that uses poison, and will get in the way of a group attempting to kill mortals (even if that means sitting down and just refusing to participate in it). Oath of VENGEANCE: A paladin that smites the wicked - one that fights the greater over the lesser evil if a choice is needed. Offer no mercy to sworn enemies, but also offer restitution to those who have been hurt by those enemies. Fated to eventually fight evil, whether they want to or not. Note: Remember well this paladin's key goal is to *right wrongs*, not just tear around Serin beating up evils (which they also do). Oath of ERADICATION: Elf Paladin only. Those who take the oath of eradication are sworn to the Enclave of Three Moons, and their goal is the utter eradication of evil. They must be careful their own actions do not become evil. * CAUTION * Killing a good-align with this oath is an automatic oathbreak. Please be aware that all paladins are forbidden from offering assistance to evils and accepting assistance from evils. This is a hard rule. This is in *addition* to the things they do because they are good alignment. Failure to uphold the paladin oath will result in OUTCAST. Please be very mindful of your oath at all times, regardless who you are grouped with and what their agenda is. The oath always comes first.
