The Tieflings who captured Lae'zel attacked me on sight because I was a Drow and apparently I broke my oath by defending myself 💀
Broke my oath by killing a human that was allied with goblins, doing a quest that requires me to kill goblin leaders. Im not sure how i broke my oath
sounds pretty racist
I broke my oath by killing the paladins that where after Karlach lol
@unvatorandom1203 hey not a bad way to go out
@@Omaha01I have a question cuz I am curious if U get the heavy armour professional skill will I be able to use rage for my barbarian and fighter skill just curious cuz I wanna put five into barbarian and five into fighter and three into paladin would that work
I wanna note that while as you said it doesnt massivly matter what oath you start with if you intend to break it anyways, it is worth noting that Oath of Devotion and Oath of the Ancients are easier to break by just doing something "bad". On the other hand Oath of Vengence can be broken by saving the goblin at the druids grove, so it doesnt require you to be as "evil" to break it, incase that matters to you.
had a triple oathbreaker run where me n 2 friends started as the 3 different oaths, if u free laezel through combat you break all three oaths
@@teknologyteror7613 that’s definitely where I keep breaking my oath lol
That does matter to me, thank you
I broke my Oath of the Ancient by killing Ethel. I was genuinely shocked and felt validated for settling on being an oathbreaker
I feel like Larian should add an oathbroken option in character creation for dark urge only, y'know, considering what they were before
-Laughs in Dark Urge Paladin-
It was for funzies but I’m going through an emotional roller coaster
Really dig the explanation of how the numbers work with modifiers
The aura of hate also affects enemy fiends and undead as well, so just something to be careful of especially in later acts when you face a LOT of fiends or undead.
I know that's rules as written but I can't help but feel that's stupid.
It's the design decision of someone who decided "No player should ever play this subclass, this should only be something they encounter as an enemy".
@@GayLPer to be fair that's how it works in DnD.
The Dark Side is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.
Evil doesn't take sides between lesser or greater evils, Fiends and Undead are categorically evil, blackguard is the mortal champion of said evil.
Dark powers come at a cost. Both are evil and sometimes evil doesn't play nice or play fair.
@@GayLPerit’s a strong buff (potentially +5 per hit, at an early level too) so it has a downside. Just encourages some careful positioning and target priority
It’s much stronger on an enemy because allies are rarely fiends or undead - at least in the tabletop
@@GayLPertbf, it’s a class that was introduced in the Dungeon master’s guide, you know, the one book you probably shouldn’t be looking at for your classes, so yeah, it’s not meant for the players
This makes me really want to play an OathBreaker Paladin. I'll probably start out as an Oath of Vengence, and break my oath by being nice (freeing the goblin). I'll say "I did it because it is what I felt was the right thing to do."
I have the oath of ancients and i broke my oath by taking up aunty Ethel's offer of the eye. I dont understand how that works but that was that.
Oath of the dipshit lol
@@ojealism
I'm late but if you know anything about who Ethal really is, it makes sense you'd be breaking your oath.
The reason I personally use ask for the reaction smites is so I can use them when using other smites like branding or searing. Additional damage is always good even if it costs smite slots
I never even considered that as an option
It also means you can smite on opportunity attacks and when doing the 1d4 attacks with a bonus action! very powerful setting to have on
Cant wait to play as Arthas on my next playthrough.
Thanks for video!
You're welcome!
I multiclassed Shadowheart into paladin oath of devotion and then after defeating Drow ragzlin the cutscene started but was interrupted by combat then I did a long rest and the oath breaker knight appeared in my camp
Nice vid just wat i was looking for
Glad you enjoyed it!
Another vid! LETS GO!
"Lone" wolf(s) with a Oathbreaker paladin and a necromancer sidekick would be so sickkk. Especially since all the necromancy shit in act1
Subbed. Great video. Good detail
Thanks for the sub! Appreciate you watching!
Choose the oath of the guardians then go see the hag. You can break your oath by bringing the woman's dead husband back to life. To me it fits more if you are trying to roleplay instead of meta game. You break your oath trying to do the right thing
Oath of the Ancients is specifically about maintaining nature's balance in the world. Bringing a dead man back to life definitely goes against that and absolutely makes sense as to why you'd break your oath in doing so.
Up until act nightsong vengeance is by far the easiest to break. Just click on sazza cage door in the emerald grove. The door itself is oathbreakjng.😊
When you free lae’zel klll the tieflings you can do it in 2 minutes after the crash and boom oath broken
This is the best video. I’ve been searching for this kind of video a month ago, when I bought the game, but I had to simply not play the game for entire month because I was pissed at the absence of videos that would show a goddamn gameplay of any class. ALL of the videos on Baldur’s gate 3 classes are simply a character creator/editor screen and these dudes just talk and talk and talk, without showing ANYTHING they talking about. I simply can’t understand a thing about this complex game without seeing the action. I swear to god, I don’t get what’s the problem of all BG3 content makers, why do they only show the description of abilities and never show them in action. How does a non DND person supposed to get an idea of what those nerds are talking about if they can’t turn off the damn character editor screen for a second. I’ve been looking sometimes for a whole month if there’s any properly made video and I finally found it. You perfectly show everything you’re talking about, so I finally understand what a paladin is. Nice job mate. This is what I wanted to see for every class, especially considering that aestetics, visual effects is important for me when choosing a class in any game.
I didn’t know who to play because I found zero useful videos before, only theory and not practice. So I didn’t play, lol
Glad you enjoy them! I've had a lot of people say similar things so that's why I've been trying to go through all of them even though it's a lot of work
@@Omaha01it definitely helps a lot and I appreciate it.
I share the same sentiments. I think you and maybe only 1 or 2 other channels do this style of build videos which helps a lot.
I am very new to bg and dnd in general. And just completed my first playthrough, I tried following build videos, but none are as detailed or explains anything other than telling you, pick this feat, pick that sub class, assing so and so points to that abilities blah blah. But doesn't tell you why and when to use. It's annoying.
Hey, you guys check out the creators, spud the king and blood Ronan they both give great video demonstrations of their build
I love your videos!
Thank you! That means a lot to me!
Well that was a pretty good breakdown.
Thank you I appreciate that!
No, I agree with the originator of this thread perhaps not necessarily in this video, but a short one of a complete build guide, including recommendations for equipment would be great and I’m sure your fans would love it
appreciated
Ok now this game gives you this choice this is amazing I was thinking about playing a warlock my 3rd play through but idk now lol
Paladin 7 Warlock 5 pact of the blade is a great multi class.
@@SacredCowSlaughterhouse thanks I'll look in to that lol
great video however 1 thing lacking is recommendations on feat options, it's generally not very hard to figure out what works or doesn't but some advice on what's best would still be nice
You gotta pump these out faster brother! I need stuff to watch at work 😅. Good content.
Now I wanna know what you work😅
Honestly Shadowheart is a damned good Palladain with nightspear idk why it works so well.
It's worth it for the funny scottish dude himself.
His name is Groundskeeper Willie
I love OB paladin! Running paladin/cleric right now, but my evil play through is paladin/warlock. Astarion is paladin/bard.
Oathbreaker by itself is not as great as it should be. Multiclass into Warlock (Blade) and/or War Cleric and you do 3-4 attacks per turn, and do bonkers damage, because BOTH str and cha feed into your melee attacks. Absolutely amazing and fun, with only downside being that you have to long rest almost every bigger fight. Have Karlach as a Wild Magic barb to recover some of your slots, to keep yourself a bit longer from having to long rest between fights.
Try Oathbreker (6 lvls) + Eldritch Warlock with Blade pact (5lvls) and 1 level to War Cleric to get another Extra attack.
I just got aura of hate on my oathbreaker and stopped playing him until they patch it. Right now it only effects melee weapons and not melee attacks, so even though the slam attack from a zombie does not count as an unarmed attack in tabletop or BG3, it does not get a boost from aura of hate, which it should. This also includes ghoul claws, mummy slam, and spore zombie slam. In other words, aura of hate does not effect ANY undead in the game save for a few that you have to successfully charm and none of them that you can summon. Considering my group is built around a 20 cha oathbreaker/warlock and a spore druid, this is a huge hit.
In the first place is it going to be patch? It may stay broken for months
I mean, it is rules as written, so... they probably aren't going to patch it.
But you might be able to mod the game so that it affects attacks instead of just weapons. Assuming such a mod doesn't already exist.
Thanks for another awesome video!!
Despite how much damage they dish out, I don't really think they look all that fun compared to other martial classes for me.
You're welcome! Thanks for checking it out!
I have the oath of ancients and i broke my oath by taking up aunty Ethel's offer of the eye. I dont understand how that works but that was that.
Can a companion be Oathbreaker ?Hmm..That could be nice for one of them, have to try it. Hopefully it can
thanks
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
The problem is when y want to respec as an OathBreaker you need to restore the oath first, which makes it more costly if u want to respec, but if u know what you want till the end of game then..
It makes it seem like, if you want to be a Warlock hybrid, you should probably start off as Warlock, get 5 levels first, and THEN start leveling Paladin and respeccing to dump str.
Personally I feel like that's a pain in the arse.
You dont need to dump str, It adds both cha AND str modifiers
@@Rambaldi100 does it tho? every single video shows full dump into CHR.
Just broke my Oath of Devotion by killing some party in service to a devil...I'm very tempted to just be an Oathbreaker but i've been so strict with roleplaying as a paladin hero up until now. I try not to save scum but god damn BG3 is strict with paladins!
Yeah it is pretty strict. My brother always gives up on his oath and just goes oathbreaker because of that haha
It's funny. We had the exact opposite feeling when I played with my mates. One of them was an Oath of Vengeance, and another was an overly aggressive thief that would leave NOTHING either plundered or murdered. The paladin commented multiple times on his amazement that the thief never managed to be the cause of a broken oath. That thing just would not break, but then again, he wasn't actively trying to break it.
So do levels reset between oatbreaker and your oath?
Vengeance broke by me knocking someone off a ledge
I find it questionable that I stay pure paladin for almost all 3 acts UNTIL I ally with Gortash :D I mean im clueless how does that affect the Oath, especially when Minthara can side with absolute and is untouched for her. It was good though, because my gale was Necromancer
I know, 3 month old vid, but I just got the game and found out about OBP. I have a few questions:
1. Is it possible to have 2 undead minions I.E. one raised and one controlled, or is it one it the other?
2. What is the difference between raised and controlled undead? Are raised undead better since it's unlocked later?
3. How does this decision affect your party? Will raising the dead lock you out of any companion interactions, or lose affinity with "good" characters?
4. If you're controlling 1 undead, can you release it in case something better comes along? Or do you just send it to it's "death" to free up a controlled spot?
5. Since Aura of Hate affects melee weapons instead of melee attacks, is it possible to animate or control weapon-possessing undead? Or does the act of raising/controlling strip them of said weapon?
1. Not as Oathbreaker, when you rly want a undead "army" i prefer Wizard with Necromancer, as Oathbreaker you have just 1 undead minion. (you can make a multiclass Oathbreaker/Necromancer but its questionable how good this is.. Oathbreaker learn Aura of Hate with lvl 7 but Wizard most of his usefull raising undead spells with lvl 6 means you have to sacrifice one of that)
2. Raised "your own creation" means you use to spell to create a zombie from a corps, controlled means you fight against a _enemy_ undead and make it your minion (there is also a version of this spell for animals) its literally "Ey you damn zombie, you fight for me now!" "Okay." Raised its better because in many areas you will have problems to find undeads to enslave
3. nothing i play a "chaotic good" Oathbreaker Paladin (tbh like a Darkknight) and nobody in my group cares about that, you can still be the good guy most of the good characters start to hate you when you do something really evil like kill the Tieflings in Act 1 etc but Karlach, Wyll.. even Druids like Halsin etc dont care about you raising zombies (or just dissaprove but dont leave you more like "Meh.. not cool but i still want to help you!") (in most case) or using necrotic or other "evil" magic
4. you can realise it like every other summon beast, just take controll of your pet like one of your companions and there must be a button to "let him free"
5. tbh im not sure.. maybe i find something about that
@@kohlicoide2258 Thank you for the answers, I appreciate you taking the time for it.
Shouldn’t aura of hate work with Astarion? He’s a vampire after all…
I didn't find answers for my two questions regarding the Oathbreaker.
-Does Dreadful Aspect of an Oathbreaker actually need charisma to be more efficient?
-Does Aura of Hate is really useful as long as it affects only undead WITH melee weapons?
Your guy looks like Suguru Geto.
It's easier for oath of devotion. Broke it yesterday without trying at grymforge after releasing nere.
Im a oathbreaker now but i only have the power it gives me when i first break my oath im lvl 12 idk what to do
I have sneak Attacked a zhentarim in act 1. Oath of devotion got broken! Lol
Do you keep anything any skills/spells etc you gained before breaking your oath?
You keep your spells, but you'll lose the features exclusive to the paladin subclass you were before breaking your oath
I feel more tied down being an oathbreaker than having an oath lmfao
Lost my oath when I failed a dex roll. It was so ridiculous losing it that way. I don't know if I should re-do it or just let it be.
yeah its really easy to break sometimes
Shouldn't all the radiant damage switch to necrotic once you break your oath?
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing tbh. It makes sense like take Divine smite for example as an Oathbreaker it loses the radiant light and becomes red so why does it do radiant damage.
I broke my oath trying to loot a dead body on top of the gate of the tieflings hideout. Lamest way to break oath 😂
YOU HAVE BROKEN YOUR OATH PALADIN.
Can you broke oath with npc allies?
Can you subclass as oathbreaker?
I don't understand. But I broke my oath due to killing Malus Thorm. I thought he was pure evil, so I cut him down
Does this build still work?
Is divine smite always active or only when you get level 11?
The normal divine smite is a spell that uses a spell slot, the one you get at level 11 is passive so it's always active and doesn't use spell slots. You can also combine them for even more damage
I wish more games had similar consequences for a paladin breaking their oath. Not cucking you out of your magical powers, but turning them into something entirely different. It's mechanically rich, and has excellent roleplaying potential. Was it a willing choice that you broke your oath? Do you seek redemption for your betrayal, or do you revel in the newfound power? Do you still believe in the tenets of your old oath, or will you follow your own ideals? Obviously, a way to restore that oath should be provided - at a cost far greater than just paying some schmuck an incrementing amount of money.
What feats was picked? Any tips on that for lvl 4?
Ability improvement, Great weapon master, and Sentinel are pretty good!
THANK YOU
I seriously didn’t understand wtf I was doing
You're welcome! :)
2 levels for Divine Smite. Got it. Man fuck this class and the 90 concentration spells it has.
Thematically it doesnt seem to be that waw... hé can still use "light" abilities so ya
I still wonder how the fuck can you heal astarion
Lmao hell all you gotta do is kill the two tieflings that are holding Lazele hostage 🤷🏾♂️ Boom, oath broken
Yeah that's true haha
Exactly what my party did. We have 3 paladins 😂
Does aura of hate apply to enemies and allies? Or just allies?
It also applies to enemies. Its only a 10ft/3m radius though.
Sounds like it must be almost impossible to complete a Paladin playthrough without becoming an Oathbreaker.
I play oath of vengeance and can't manage to break it without killing innocents
“No effect on undead” - first example is it working on a vampire. 😂
a vampire isn't an undead in the baldurs gate and dnd world though so that's why it works. Vampires are simply humans turned by true vampires to become vampire spawn, astarion is one of those vampire spawn. Skeletons, zombies and raised from the dead corpses are classified as undead. Vampires never died, they're not undead.
Vampires have the undead type in DnD
I am upset that they didn't fix the stupid naked oathbreaker character portrait with the latest patch on Friday
Hm is that why I'm naked in my portrait lmao
I feel like keeping your oath is way harder than breaking it
yeah I agree. My friends never make it without breaking it at least once lol
I'm going to make n Oathbreaker Dark Urge
Have fun! Pretty awesome and powerful subclass!
I lov command thi, is so funny
Does it matter what level you break your oath?
no
I accidentally killed a dog and became an oathbreaker 😢
You're an animal
Wait so i gotta take up my oath again? So a evil dark urge playthrough would not work hand in hand with this build?
no you just have the option to. You have to take up your oath if you want to respec though.
What Are stuff i miss if i break my oath?
Why is charisma level 15? Shouldn't it be an even number? 🤨
Yeah. I was just showing off all the abilities and stuff so I didn't really change any stats
I come here after my paladin class get broken after helping a women ressurect her husband.
First. Thanks
Why have so many Stats at uneven?
I was just showcasing the subclass. Wasn't actually doing a run with that character there
@@Omaha01 aaah okay, so what do you recommend? I see lot of these with 12 dex but does Oathbreaker even need Dex for anything other than defensewise?
my Oathbreaker is 17 Str 8 Dex, 14 Con, 8 8 and 15 CHR
I would go 16 str, 10 dex, 14 con, 8 int, 10 wis, 16 cha to start out and then at level 4 get your strength to 18. But that's just me.
@@Omaha01 yea thats what i expected, thanks :D
@@kyero8724 you're welcome!
personal experience, Oathbreaker isn't worth it. Control Undead turns the party hostile to you every time without fail, and Aura of Hate doesn't actually work on any of the Undead you can raise with Animate Dead, Danse Macabre, and Create Undead.
Are you sure about Control Undead turning the party hostile?
Cool Build but the Patch 3.0 broke the Game. dosent worth even try play again this game.
So this doesn’t work anymore?
Thy need to change oathbreaker it should be all dark
It's Rules as Written, unfortunately.
