Oath of Piety

The Oath of Piety is for the most devout of paladins, those who forgo some of their martial training in favor of extreme dedication to a deity. Paladins who dedicate themselves to this oath believe that divine empowerment is greater than physical prowess. They spend countless hours in religious study and service. they believe their deity's ideals hold the greatest promise for the future of mortal races, and actively try to recruit followers. They staunchly oppose any who hold opposing beliefs or would try to pervade their deity's purpose, seeking out and destroying apostate creatures and heretics, or those whose ideals are incompatible with their own.
