Why do you literally always hear about paladins falling and losing all powers but you never hear about the Oathbreaker Knight appearing to give powers back?

Isn't that the entire point of why DND has the Oathbreaker Knight?

There's your answer. Do better. Improve your consumer habits.

Isn't the Oathbreaker Knight exclusive to BG3, like paying a sum of gold to reclaim your oath?

As to why you may not see him in your games to get powers would probably be because a DM would count your oath broken as to rp a scenario of the Paladin having to reclaim their oath or to punish especially heinous actions. If someone wanted to play an Oathbreaker, they'd just roll one at the start.
Also, someone correct me if I am wrong, but in D&D, an Oathbreaker is evil, again different from BG3 where they imply non-evil reasons to break an oath, and games are usually non-evil.

Inertia. It's only 5e that has Paladins "fall" directly into a different power-set. In 3.5 and earlier Paladins just lost their goodies with WotC beginning the march of reducing stakes on the Code of Conduct with the honestly-neat ideas of making recovery an explicit use-case of Atonement (with attendant act of penance plot-hook) and retraining with a Fiend via the Blackguard PRC as a swap-away. Which was a really good thing to do given they also made Paladins no longer Fighter+ so the loss of said goodies plummeted you to sub-marginal improvements over a literal NPC class.

Technically, 5e removed the Alignment association of the Paladin Code of Conduct, though such behavior ought be a step toward Chaotic given the Lawful side is the premise for it being a strict Code to begin with. Ignoring Ye Olden Alt-Paladins who's first pass included wild shit like multiple casting progressions, of course.

Lurk more, faggot.
Anyone whose been here for more than a week knows that whenever a retard complains a shit game and doest specify what that game is, it's D&D.

Because 9 out of 10 "the paladin falls" stories are made up bullshit that is farmed by some shiity youtube/ twitter/ tiktok account

OP literally mentions DND in his post. Retard.

I'm sorry you're having that problem. Have you tried making some friends to improve that situation for yourself?
>>
>>97740650
If OP actually played games, he would know all these "Paladin falls" stories are made-up shitposts that don't happen in actual real games with actual real people.

both technically correct acording to the dungeon master guide for 5e a paladin who breaks their oath only becomes a oath breaker when they do it for evil reasons and on purpose

>An Oathbreaker is a paladin who breaks his or her sacred oaths to pursue some dark ambition or serve an evil power. Whatever light burned in the paladin's hearthas been extinguished. Only darkness remains.
>A paladin must be evil and at least 3rd level to become an Oathbreaker

while breaking your oath for any other reason does not have any mechanical consequences unless you are 100% impenitent. from the player's handbook:

>A paladin tries to hold to the highest standards of conduct, but even the most virtuous paladin is fallible. Sometimes the right path proves too demanding, sometimes a situation cal ls for the lesser of two evi ls, and sometimes the heat of emotion causes a paladin to transgress his or her oath. A paladin who has broken a vow typically seeks absolution from a cleric who shares his or her faith or from another paladin of the same order. The paladin might spend an allnight vigil in prayer as a sign of penitence, or undertake a fast or similar act of self-denial. After a rite of confession and forgiveness, the paladin starts fresh. If a paladin willfully violates his or her oath and shows no sign of repentance, the consequences can be more serious. At the DM's discretion, an impenitent paladin might be forced to abandon this class and adopt another, or perhaps to take the Oath breaker paladin option that appears in the Dungeon Master's Guide.

Oathbreaker Knight is a gameplay contrivance created by BG3 for the purpose of giving players an out when they accidentally ruin their build and their last save is an hour ago. He's not a canon feature of the Paladin class.

Also 90% of "lol Paladin falls" threads are bait threads created by nogames niggers.

Because that's JUST BG3, not D&D in general.

You'd unironically be better off asking ChatGPT to give you therapy than making these threads.

I wish we had a bot that just posted this every single time retards complained about something D&D-related.

We do.

>>97739085
Give powers back to who? What the fuck are you even talking about? Why would someone given powers give those powers back unless they are expected to? Why'd you expect a fucking *oathbreaker*, a breaker of oaths, to give powers back to anyone, once given, even by agreement? Actual fucking retard hours. Try not playing Dragqueens & Dogshit.
