Oath of Knugen (5e Subclass)
Oath of Knugen[edit]
An old religion from an ancient land where the deity of worship is Knugen. A Paladin that has taken the Oath of Knugen must be lawful good and if their alignment changes they must change their oath.
Tenents of Knugen:
Courage: You must be willing to do what needs to be done for the sake of order, even in the face of overwhelming odds. If you don't act, then who will?
Loyalty: Your word is your bond. Without loyalty, oaths and laws are meaningless.
Responsibility: You must deal with the consequences of your actions, and you are responsible for fulfilling your duties and obligations.
Duty: Be responsible for your actions and their consequences, protect those entrusted to your care, and obey those who have just authority over you.
