Oath:

Syntax: oath (no argument) Lists the oaths available Syntax: oath <oath name>

Bound by faith, the Paladin proclaims their deepest intentions, vowing to uphold the rights and conduct of his deity - be it in life or death. At the utterance of these valorous words divine powers surge through the very spirit. This oath, unlike the divination of their pious counterparts the Clerics and Priests, acts as a conduit of direct power, affecting more than just wound healing or the purging of ailments.

When activated, a Paladin evokes a very spiritual bond with the divine, granting them physical and unworldly embodiment, protective immunities and new found powers. It should be noted that the gods are diverse and fickle. While the Paladin may be endowed with enhanced abilities, the lesser aspects of their deity and oath will become theirs as well.

Furthering the Paladin's commitment with purpose and willingness, the chosen will open themselves up to a more virtuous state, allowing for multiple oaths to guide them fearlessly forward upon the battlegrounds of their crusades.

Paladins are able to pledge themselves to Aspects in opposition to those of their deity. Doing so however will somewhat dilute the strength of the Oath's impact. Paladins require certain Oaths in order to use some of their skills while other Oaths will prevent, hinder or modify usage of their existing abilities.

The Oath command exhausts once the limit for the number of active Oaths has been reached. This lasts until the Paladin advances a level. Once an Oath is made it lasts until death. An Oath can be broken once any exhaust has cleared.

Paladins who are not active followers of a deity are unable to use this command.

"Sir Tevarith looked solemn for a moment before clenching a tight fist. He yelled at the sky.. then at the ground before his gaze settled on me. A smile crossed his face as he gasped my shoulder and proclaimed:

                By Tul-Sith, We are protected."
                                       --Pansius the Bard of Ages
