Archetypes: Oaths of Arcane Soul
🕑 Added 2023-02-11 00:52:40 +0000 UTCThis article presents two new options for paladins: the oath of the arcane for servants of magic, and the oath of souls for psychopomps dedicated to ensuring the integrity of the mortal veil. The former employ powerful arcana and mimic the enchanted feats of the mages they are sworn to protect, and the latter are peerless among slayers of undead. Dedicatedly designed by Levi Thompson, illustrated by Phil Stone.

In a lot of cases that's probably true, but even so the party's bard, sorcerer, warlock, or wizard can be a jerk *alongside* the paladins using this oath (which is new for paladins IMHO, they're usually being a jerk all by themselves).

Oath of the Arcane is pretty weird. I mean, it's a very cool concept, but why explicitly require scorn for psionics and primal magic? It feels like it has the same issue as Oath of Conquest -- it's hard to follow the tenets as written without making your character a jerk.
