The Oath of Freedom Paladin Subclass
I only ask if you come with me, that you match my breath and walk in my footsteps. We will not be seeking the ideal outcome, simply one in which they are free.
We are so proud to present the Oath of Freedom Paladin subclass!

The Oath of Freedom is a lifelong commitment to liberty and the ideals it depends on—equality, empathy, and solidarity. Often called lordless knights, freedom fighters, and revolutionaries, these paladins swear an oath to oppose the constricting forces of tyranny and bondage wherever they take root. Their wild spirits and outsized passions reflect the promise of living freely, and they bear no standards and wear no uniform—though their manner of dress often involves lighter armor, flowing garments, and symbols of emancipation such as feathers or broken chains.
As you play along, we'd love to hear your feedback for this Paladin subclass in our playtest survey!
Playtest feedback is most useful when it identifies specific issues, pain points, and areas of confusion—or things that are working well. If you think something is bad/not fun/unbalanced/not as good as the previous version, please be specific and tell us why! And finally, please don't backseat design—it's most helpful to know what you think of the existing design, not what you think it should be, so we can best identify the core issues to address.
We hope you enjoy this subclass as much as we did making it for you!
In case you missed it, you can find the revised Witch class here, and the Wizard of the Citadel subclass here.
