Oath of Freedom

The Oath of Freedom means you believe that others should live unfettered by unneeded rules and should be able to live and travel as they desire. Never staying in one place, you are a vagabond at heart, carrying the word of your god and your message to all corners of the realms. They oppose to any tyrant who would seek to control the movements and lives of those under them.

Paladins that belong to the Oath of Freedom rarely have churches or cloisters, instead they tend to be created by chance encounters with other paladins of the oath. As organized religions and churches lead to dogma and ritual which is suffocating to paladins belonging to the Oath of Freedom.

Tenants of Freedom

Freewill- None should be bound by compulsion or coercion, magic or otherwise.

Adventure- Whenever there is adventure to be found, you must seek it.

Preparedness- You must always have a full pack, ready to leave at any time. For the ability to leave is true freedom.

No Bonds, No Chains- Anything that would interfere with one's ability to travel or live their own life should be stopped.

Optional Note- Because Oath of Freedom paladins value freewill so much, players should refrain from casting spells that would infringe on free will such as Command or Compelled Duel. In addition, if the DM chooses, they can penalize Oath of Freedom paladins for using these spells since they are an anathema to the Oath of Freedom.
