BG3 Oathbreaker Tips & Builds
- If a Paladin is already of a higher level and breaks their Oath, all the Features and Spells from previous Paladin levels will be added retroactively once it becomes an Oathbreaker. This means that they don't lose any kind of progression by breaking the Oath while being a high-level character. Note that this does not include Subclass-specific Features and Spells from the other three Subclasses.
- You can reclaim your previous Oath at any time. Talk to the Oathbreaker Knight at the camp and tell him you want to restore your oath. He will ask you to pay 1,000 gold in order to restore it.
- Paladins benefit from Divine Smite for increased damage output. Be sure to setup your Reactions so that you can just melee attack, and use Divine Smite if you want. To do this, hit "L" on the keyboard and tick each level of Divine Smite "On" and to "Ask". This will allow you to use Divine Smite with other Weapon Actions, Opportunity Attacks, as well as Smite Spells.
- Using the Dueling fighting style maximizes damage while using a one-handed weapon and a shield. Duelling is particularly good if you are out of Spell Slots and cannot Divine Smite. Defence is also a great choice of Fighting Style since most Paladin damage comes from Divine Smite anyway.
- Oath of Vengeance subclass offers more versatility for making morally ambiguous decisions, while Oathbreaker allows the player to choose whatever decisions he or she wants, both good and evil.
- Multiclassing at level 2 or 6 are ideal for Paladin because at level 2 you can bring Divine Smite and all your Proficiencies to another Class, while at level 6 you gain Extra Attack and Aura of Protection, which are both fantastic.
- Paladins in BG3 use Charisma for Aura of Protection, and Dialogue mostly, but it does increase they number of Spells they can Prepare. There are very few hostile Paladin Spells that require high Charisma though, so don't pump Charisma thinking you will need it for these types of Spells unless you know which they are and you've planned ahead.
- You can completely dump Dexterity and use Heavy Armour for protection on your Paladin, and you won't gain the -1 penalty to AC at 8 DEX thanks to the way Heavy Armour works.
- Remember that Duelling doesn't work with Versatile Weapons, so using a Longsword is not ideal on a Paladin using this Fighting Style.
- Extra Attack only provides a second Attack if you used your Action to Attack to begin with. You cannot cast a spell and then attack, or attack and then cast a spell. And, Extra Attack doesn't stack with other Classes that have Extra Attack.

killing Baltazar still breaks your oath (that of the ancients), clearly this happened to me by thinking "strategically" and attacking him without entering into a fight through dialogue, since not doing so makes the whole Shadowfell thing more difficult.

For those wondering, I believe oathbreaking broke recently with a hot fix or patch. Those saying it works either broke their oath prior to the change or their character existed before it or any number of things. I’ve seen multiple post from separate sources who’ve all recently started a new playthrough and are finding it difficult if not near impossible to break the oath on their Tav or companions. Take this post as a PSA or reassurance that it is not just you.

It doesn't cost 1000 gold to get your oath back. It costs 1000 gold THE FIRST TIME. 2000 gold the 2nd time, and 10,000 the 3rd time. If I am remembering right. Maybe there is some sort of severity to breaking your oath.

I don't like how the game assumes that I'll open the gate for Minthara as a foregone conclusion if because my oath of vengeance is broken as soon as I say I will.
Maybe that's the point the game is trying to make, I don't know if oaths are black and white like this in D&D, I'm assuming that they are, seeing as the oath breaker knight himself has a similar story.
But still, words are very different than actions. Imo your oath should only be broken if you actually open the gates of the Grove and not before, no matter how much you say you will.
- Anonymous
Act 1: attacking Karlach's targets at the outpost without talking to them first (thereby confirming that they are imposters) counts as an oath break for a devotion paladin.
A little disappointed when that happened, but I guess that ambushing demon worshippers counts as a no-no for a chivalrous paladin. At least, it is more justified than talking to a NPC and picking an ambiguously worded answer.

You seem to be able to oathbreak by using the Illithid powers three times or more. So all this 'no downsides' stuff about it is bunk. Had it happen in act 2, didnt even do anything morally wrong other than dominate the mind. Note this was with the goody-two-shoes oath.

Is not true. Dueling only doesn't work on longsword if youre using both hands to wield it. If you do longsowrd + shield, dueling DOES WORK. Easily checkable with a training dummy and the logs.

"Remember that Duelling doesn't work with Versatile Weapons, so using a Longsword is not ideal on a Paladin using this Fighting Style." - That's just false. Dueling Fighting Style works with Versatile Weapons, provided you are using the Versatile weapon in one hand, and have a shield in the other. If you look over the damage in the small chat/combat log in the UI on the lower right, then hover over any damage done while wielding a versatile weapon one handed with a shield. You can clearly see it adds the damage bonus from the Fighting Style. Additionally, simplest route to break Oath of Devotion, just kill NPC's, if you're looking to break your Oath to be an Oathbreaker without breaking a personal moral code, the guards/followers at Moonrise Towers. Throw down Darkness either via scroll or spell, and just start going ham killing guards one after another. This prevents you from aggroing the entire populace, and breaks your Oath of Devotion without feeling like a complete windbag. Additionally, while you are an Oathbreaker, you CANNOT respec the Oathbreaker at Withers. As it's technically a "Hidden" class. Be aware, and build accordingly. As one final note, your party members CAN become Oathbreakers. Simply have them activate the triggers, or conversation choices instead of you. It's not enough that they are present, THEY must be the ones to perform the action.

Oath of Vengeance Paladin -> Has Sharran Sanctuary blessings -> Does the Gauntlet of Shar -> Retrieves Spear of Night -> Meets the Nightsong -> Nightsong is threating me -> Kill her -> Oath is broken -> Nightsong threatens my bloodline -> leave.
Then the game loops as in you need to release her to leave the place and her mood is completely changed.

"Remember that Duelling doesn't work with Versatile Weapons, so using a Longsword is not ideal on a Paladin using this Fighting Style."
Completely untrue and pretty easily tested. +2 (Dueling) can be seen just fine on the attack rolls of longswords with dueling characters when used as one-handed weapon with shield.
If this line meant to point this out for a two-handed use case, then the dueling tooltip pretty clearly states it doesn't apply to any two handed context. So I'm not sure what this line is trying to say otherwise.

Played Oath of Devotion up to act 2. Tried to break my oath to get Oathbreaker and so far no matter what I do to break it I never suffer the penalty and cannot break my oath. Did all of the options including promising to the sassza and the tieflings camp only to betray them and another Origin character. No one in my camp to break oath or anything. Seems like this is a rare bug.

Freezing Sazza only works as a VENGEANCE oath paladin.
It's the easiest way to break your oath without killing anyone or anything, you don't even have to let her live, opening the cage will break your vengeance oath even if she's dead (this might get fixed)
Just let the event unfold however you want, have anyone lockpick the cage (safe for Astarion to do) and then switch back to your paladin and have them actually open it, that will break your oath.
If you aren't vengeance this will NOT break your oath, vengeance requires you to kill evil, not free it.

As Oath of the Ancients, I freed Sazza and it didn't break. I also "assassinated" several friendly goblins afterward, oath completely fine. Convinced the Tieflings in the forest to let me give Lae'zel her punishment, but used Astarion to break the cage instead of myself. Again, oath intact. Killed the white dog(scratch) in the forest and it broke right away. If you're desperate to be one and don't particularly feel like you'd be missing out on a lot by losing Scratch's camp shenanigans, that's one surefire way.

Heads up, so I've "returned to my oath" a couple of times now due to wishing to respec, and I just wanted to let folks know that the price increases per return... The first time going back is 1000 Gold. The second time going back is 2000 Gold. But the third time going back... is 10,000 Gold. I'm assuming it'll cost more if you break your oath, and wish to reclaim it afterward, but I won't be testing that... Either way, just wanted to get that info out so others don't have to learn the hard way like I did!
