 Act in accordance with reason. We must not let our petty desires and emotions defeat logic.

Grant others the benefit of the doubt. What you don’t know can often surprise you.

Always seeks to gain more knowledge. The expansion of one’s mind is the most powerful attribute of reasoning beings.

Question of the Day: If you were a Paladin oath, what would be your tenets?

1. Ensure Equity and Equality for all

2. Learn Constantly. No day shall pass without a thing learned and acknowledged.

3. Know Thyself.

4. There is no life of of any person which is not heroic in its fullness; and no hero that fully recognizes that herosim

5. Violence is always the easiest solution.

6. The easiest solutions are usually the wrong ones.

7 The deeper you start, the more widespread the change.

8. Live your life in such a way that you inspire others, without forcing them.

10. Never underestimate the capacity of People to be the greatest of Evils and the Greatest of Goods -- and always remember that there are a billion points between those two ends.

I think it would be an Oath of Empathy. Try to understand other people's situations and experiences, especially those you relate to the least. Do not use your understanding of things as a cudgel; instead be open to the possibility of being wrong or of missing important perspective. These are lessons I had to learn over a too long time, and I like the idea of them being formalized like this.

 The thread is for anyone to drop questions!

So my tenants...

Show kindness to the downtrodden.
Defend the defenseless.
Seek to bring Light into the lives of those around you.

Play What You Want. It is not enough to have a desire to play something, fulfill that desire.

If it Does Not Exist, Create it. It is not enough to have the idea, fulfill that idea.

Homebrew Above All. It is not enough to play homebrew, fulfill that homebrew.

Here's my Heroforge character for the excellent thread story! I did name him, but it still fits me on this forum...

Tenet. A tenet is a principle or belief, especially one of the main principles of a religion or philosophy.

Tenant is a person who occupies land or property rented from a landlord.

I mean, ok, yeah, in this case it is a set of ideas that takes up residence in the head and doesn't leave, but still....

Stand Tall. When others would crumble, be a bulwark and inspire robustness in others.

Laugh. Few situations are too serious for a joke.

Expect Greatness. If you do not try to be the best version of yourself, you will never even come close.

No Regrets. The only importance a past action has is how it affects the present. To have a regret is to admit that the current is not acceptable, that it cannot be made the best of.

But, most of all...

Wonder. If intelligence is used only to do and never to think, it is wasted. Ask questions when you have them, answer questions when you can, and never be afraid to wonder. Never accept what you think you know as the whole answer; there is always a greater truth, and it is always to be sought out.

Question of the Day: If you were a Paladin oath, what would be your tenets?

 My tenets would be long and numerous if fully written out. Here I will simply reveal a few of them:

Knowledge: No matter where I am, I can learn something from everything. Use every opportunity to grow in my understanding of the world and all things inside and outside of it.

Shepherds of Creation: This world is not perfect, but it is good. We must work to care for, protect, and nurture nature, for that is our duty. 

Forgiveness: No one on this earth is beyond forgiveness. Redemption is offered to all, no matter what they have done, and we must learn to forgive those who have committed great wrongs. 

Death Is Not the End: Death is not the end, and we must keep that in mind and learn what that means. 

Truth: There is Truth in this world. We must discover what it is no matter what, and ignoring the Truth does not mean it doesn't exist. We will all admit to the Truth someday.

Kindness: We must care for everyone. Even if they are different or despise us, we must show them kindness and be compassionate and understanding. If someone is in need, do not hesitate to help them.

Laugh: Life is not above humor. The world contains blobfish, mushrooms, weird hairdos, frogs, toes, bowels, and boogers. It is right to treat parts of the world as a comedy.

Look, if I answer this question I'm going to end up homebrewing a whole subclass, and I'm a little busy right now so I really shouldn't... oops, too late

Oath of Discord

TENETS OF DISCORD

The tenets of the Oath of Discord were made up by some dude who was, like, totally in the zone at the time, man. But they're super serious, and you should really stick with them. Or not. Whatever. I'm not the boss of you.

Chaos. People desperately cling to the illusion that they can control things, and that not being able to control things is bad. Disabuse them of these notions every chance you get.
Freedom. Chains are real bad. Especially mental chains.
Perspective. There's no one true way of looking at things that's going to perfectly fit every aspect of reality. Instead, try on different perspectives -- like hats, or hot dogs -- and discard them when they're no longer useful. That includes these tenets.

Oath of randomness.

Tenets: Just soe chaos.

To crush my enemies

See them driven before me

and Hear the lamentation of their women

--------

OK seriously though:

Share what you can.

Don't accept bullshit from bullies.

Love the ones you love and show it in many ways.

-----------

Ironically, these are darn close:

TENETS OF THE ANCIENTS

The tenets of the Oath of the Ancients have been preserved for uncounted centuries. This oath emphasizes the principles of good above any concerns of law or chaos. Its four central principles are simple.

Kindle the Light. Through your acts of mercy, kindness, and forgiveness, kindle the light of hope in the world, beating back despair.

Shelter the Light. Where there is good, beauty, love, and laughter in the world, stand against the wickedness that would swallow it. Where life flourishes, stand against the forces that would render it barren.

Preserve Your Own Light. Delight in song and laughter, in beauty and art. If you allow the light to die in your own heart, you can’t preserve it in the world.

Be the Light. Be a glorious beacon for all who live in despair. Let the light of your joy and courage shine forth in all your deeds.

Hm... those are pretty close to mine, as well. I might be an Oath of the Ancients Paladin. But I thought I was already a Warlo-

Oh no.

I'm a HEXADIN

Quote from Quar1on >>

Sew. plant (seed) by scattering it on or in the earth.

Soe (state-owned enteprise) is an entity formed by the government for the purpose of engaging in commercial activities.

I mean, ok, yeah, I guess the state could own a chaos enterprise, but still...

 

 

 Ahem...

Sow: to plant (seed) by scattering it on or in the earth. Sown is past tense.

Sew: a needle pulling thread. Sewn is past tense.

Soe: in NZ, it is a state owned enterprise, but it is also a term for a large wooden tub or pail

La: A note to follow So.

Tea: a drink, with jam and bread.

and that brings us back to Doe, a deer, a female deer,, also a shape of eye, and a misspelling of Doh!, which is an exclamation of sudden regret and revelatory surprise.

I have reaped what I have sown, and I should have been aware of the Sow that was sneaking up on me. Now I have to sew my pants to mend them whilst drinking tea to soothe the sound of the ote that I uttered on encountering the dang pig.
