Paladins are the holy warriors of the gods.

Class Notes[edit]

This character class is available with the following notes: Paladins may choose any of the fighting styles listed in the Player's Handbook, or in Tasha's Cauldron of Everything. Different fighting styles may call for different schooling. For example, the Temple of the Guiding Light is where most Paladins of Pelor who wish fight with the duelist style go to train.

Gods and Paladins[edit]

Table: **Gods and Paladins**
God	Portfolio	Organizations	Oaths
Pelor	Sun and Moon	the Order of the Sword of Malicean, the Order of the Legacy of the Mind and Heart, others	Devotion, Redemption (Xanathar's), Glory (Tasha's), Samurai
Mehana	Time, Arcane Magic, Travel, Divination	Wardens of the Tower	Devotion, Ancients, Vengeance, Glory (Tasha's)
Nevari	Crafts, Arts, Love, Hearth and Home	Guardians of the Sacred Hearth	Devotion, Redemption (Xanathar's)
Crustan	Nature, Plants, Animals, Weather	No organization	Ancients
Phealas	Death, Law, Judgement	No organization	Redemption (Xanathar's)
Telemore	Trickery, Gambling, Secrets, Passion	Not available	Not available
The Three-Fold God	War	No known organization	Vengeance, Conquest (Xanathar's), Glory (Tasha's)

A paladin who ceases to be follow his alignment, who willfully commits an act contrary to their alignment, or who grossly violates their code of conduct, loses all abilities, spells, and benefits. It may be possible for them to atone for their crimes and regain the abilities, as determined by their superiors.
Note that the process of atoning is often fatal, as it usually involves dangerous and solo quests. Additionally, a penitent who dies in the process of atoning is considered dishonored, as it is obvious that they did not have the holy strength to complete his mission, and their name is permanently struck from the roster of their order.

-* A paladin who multiclasses into a non-paladin class retains all abilities and their mount, but can no longer progress in paladin levels.
-* Like [[Monk]]s, Paladins may take levels of the [[Cleric]] class without penalty, as long as their paladin level is always at least one higher than their cleric level.
