Oath of Metal

The Oath of Metal is connected with the elements of the earth that forge steel and armor. They serve the side of good in an endless battle against those who would abuse the precious gems and materials that have been bestowed upon the earth by the gods themselves, from battling those who would strike down people claiming steel as their power to the merchants and miners who take it from the earth to sell to evil doers. Protecting and honoring the metal if paramount to the paladin and use their armaments with the upmost care and protection means honoring their gods. A Oath of Metal Paladin manipulates both the enemies and your own Metallic objects to their advantage in combat to ease situations before combat begins.

Tenets Of Metal

The Tenets of the Oath of Metal paladins carve their Tenets into their armor or across their weapon to show their connection to the metallic usage.

• Forged In Earth - Your connection to metal is of an upmost importance and connects you to both your gods and the earth.
• Live by the Metal - You believe all other forms of weaponry or armor outside of the metal variety to be a waste of the potential the earth has given.
