Base Class: Paladin
The Oath of Diplomacy binds Paladins to the ideals of Justice and Peace. These Paladins are seen as armed adjudicators always on the side of fairness . They hold themselves to the highest standards of conduct, and some - for better or worse - hold the rest of the world to the same standards.
Many who swear this oath are devoted to gods of law and good and use their gods' tenets as the measure of personal virtue. Others hold the law itself as their ideal and incorporate images of balanced scales into their helmets or coats of arms.
These Paladins share the following tenets:
- Bring justice to the realm
- Protect the weak and never fear to act.
- Seek nonviolent resolutions whenever possible
