Ah, Paladins... The Paragon of good, of Moral High Ground, Of the strictest Alignment in the game: Lawful Good. At least until Fourth Edition botched that one up. Some people might say. Me? I'm willing to meet everyone in the middle. Because Rasani already has various Paladin Orders, and it would be an absolute pain to rework that, I've decided that there will be two kinds of paladin: The Order Paladin (which includes members of Palathin Orders) and the Oath Paladin. Yes, Order Paladins take oaths, but those are specific to the Order, and they all have their abilities. The Oath Paladins are my attempt to homebrew Fifth edition oaths (from the Players' Handbook and beyond) into my 3.5 world. Because the ROLEPLAY!

Part 1: Order Paladins

These are the Paladins you find in the 3.5e Players' Handbook. And the Palathins you can find elsewhere in the New Classes section of this. However, to gain the benefits of these classes, you must be a member of one of the orders, which have their own Tenets and Oaths, which vary from the Oath Paladins. Each Order has a long list of rules to follow on top of their tenets, but those will be explained in their individual organization pages. Some of these are continent-locked to be in a geographic location, and some are Culture-locked. Culture-locked does not mean racial-locked, a human can still technically join the Swords of Light, it's just culturally Elvish.
