Oath of the Slayer

The Oath of the Slayer stands tall above the other oaths as combatants. The followers of this Oath dedicate their lives to the pursuit and elimination of all monsters that threaten civilization. Any mercenary or wannabe hero can take out a cave of goblins or a troll, but it takes a Paladin to stand up to an Ancient Wyrm or a Tarrasque. That is what the Oath of the Slayer personifies.

Tenets of the Slayer

All monsters die- Creatures such as a Tarrasque or demon are mostly mindless and savage. They cannot be allowed to exist on the material plane.

Defend the Weak-The point of this oath is to take care of monsters that the average village cannot deal with. Their protection is why you fight.

Remain Focus- Many monsters have weak minions; their lives are of no consequence. Cut the head off of the snake and the body will die.

Men are Monsters-The worst type of monster is man. The Oath of the Slayer is to keep civilization safe from those who threaten society. No matter their form.
