The Oath of Devotion Paladin is a powerhouse of buffs , healing support, and brutal damage output. The trade-off for such a well-rounded Class is that it is the only one restricted by roleplay. By choosing an Oath, Paladins must do everything to live by it – the Oath of Devotion means that players can’t attack innocents, turn their back on those in dire need, or deceive their enemies to gain an advantage in combat.
At Level 3, Sacred Weapon adds CHA to Attack rolls as a new Channel Oath, alongside Turn the Unholy. Oath of Devotion Paladins also gain Protection from Evil and Good , Sanctuary, Lady Shar Lore Lesser Restoration, and Silence always, prepared by Level 5.

Curse a creature so it takes additional damage whenever you attack it and to inflict Disadvantage on Ability Checks with an Ability of your choosing. If the target dies before the spell ends, you can use a bonus action to hex a new creature.
This is one of the best Paladin BG3 builds because of their strong healing spells and variety of weapon and armor proficiencies, making them more versatile than pure Caster support classes . But when the Oath of Devotion Paladin goes down, the rest of the party can be thrown into disarray.
In addition to everything you unlock while leveling as a Paladin, your Subclass also determines what you unlock at certain levels. As a Paladin, you can select a subclass at Level 1, in the character creation menu.
Touch an enemy to syphon their life force. You regain half as many hit points as hit points as the damage they take. For 10 turns, you can use Vampiric Touch again without expending an additional spell slot.

The Paladin proved to be the game’s most popular class over its launch weekend, according to Larian Studios. Indeed, the class is impressively versatile and powerful, almost no matter which way one takes the class. The one condition of playing a Paladin is that RP can often be affected by one’s chosen Oath.
