Paladin Discussion

Good Morning Game Fans, we’re back to continue our deeper investigation into the mysteries of Dungeons and Dragons, and how it shaped the larger roleplaying game community.  We’ve put a temporary hold on our discussion about races in fantasy roleplaying (We’ll pick back up with the races from Volo’s Guide to Monsters and the Elemental Evil Player’s Companion after this interlude).  We’re going to discuss the role of Classes in fantasy roleplaying games, and then we’ll take a look in turn at each of the character classes in the Player’s Handbook for Dungeons and Dragons, 5th Edition.

Unearthed Arcana Playtest: Paladins

So this is the last Unearthed Arcana for 2016, and Wizards of the Coast is ending the year on a grim, dark note.  Today we’re taking a look at two new Paladin Oaths, the Oath of Conquest and the Oath of Treachery.  These Oaths give new options for players wanting to take Paladins down a variety of dark and winding paths, so if you’re interested in playing a dark crusader, check out either of these Oaths.  Now this is the last one of these articles for the year, and we’ll be back when Wizards of the Coast opens back up in January.  We are a little saddened that neither of these paladin Oaths fulfils our Need for Steed, (that’s the third time i’ve made that joke, and i’m still not sorry).  Let’s dive in and take a closer look at the new paladin Oaths.  .
