Oath of Freedom - A Complete Paladin Subclass Supplement
Publisher: Dungeon Masters Guild
Freedom is a univeral heartbeat -- a quiet, insistent rhythm that persists even in the deepest shadow of oppression. The Oath of Freedom is for the Paladin who recognizes that the heaviest chains aren't always made of iron. Designed for the 2024 Core Rules, this subclass moves beyond the battlefield to confront the shackles of the body, mind, and heart. Whether you are shattering the literal gems of a slave-lord, purging the 'silken veil' of a magical enchantment, or reclaiming the soul from the haze of addiction, you are the living proof that no cage is eternal.
Step into the role of the Unshackled and become the shield for those whose voices have been stolen.
What You Get: A beautifully illustrated, 14-page digital supplement that introduces the Oath of Freedom -- a new Paladin subclass meticulously balanced for the 2024 Player's Handbook ecosystem.
What's Inside: The Liberator's Kit
When you purchase the Oath of Freedom, you aren't just getting a subclass -- you're getting a complete toolkit for character creation. This 14-page supplement includes:
- The Oath of Freedom Subclass (2024 Optimized): A full Paladin subclass featuring the Liberating Smite enhancement, unique Channel Divinity options, and a high-utility Oath Spell list designed for mobility and disruption.
- 4 Comprehensive "Origin" Backgrounds: Each designed to fit the 2024 PHB "Origin Feat" system. Choose from The Consumed (Bound by Need), The Controlled (Bound by Others), The Enslaved (Bound by Magic), or The Bound Heart (Bound by Emotion).
- 2024 Origin Feat Integration: Rules-compliant Backgrounds that grant your choice of starting feats (like Tough, Skilled, or Magic Initiate) to anchor your backstory in your stats.
- Deep Roleplay Tables: Each origin includes custom d8/d6 tables for Personality Traits, Ideals, Bonds, and Flaws, plus a "Defining Event" table to help you roll or choose your moment of liberation.
- 11 New General Feats (Level 4+): Expand your Paladin (or any character) with feats like Chainbreaker Initiate, Indomitable Step, and Willbreaker Presence. These feats provide new ways to use your Reactions and Ability Score increases to punish tyrants and shrug off mental manipulation.
- 15 Vindicator's Regalia Magic Items: A curated collection of weapons and armor designed for the Liberator. From Spine of the Oppressor (a flail that punishes those who grapple your allies) to Mantle of the Unseen Burden, these items scale with rarity and offer tactical counters to control-based enemies.
- Forms of the Unshackled (Unique Steeds): Three high-fidelity stat blocks for the Find Steed spell. Choose the Silverhawk Griffin for aerial mercy, the Moonstone Panther for unseen strikes, or the Bronze Bull to shatter the very concept of an immovable barrier. Each steed features unique specialized Bonus Actions
- Thematic Equipment & Proficiencies: Unique starting gear (like a broken link of chain or a locket without a picture) and tool proficiencies that reflect a life lived in -- and escaped from -- shadow.
- High-Fidelity Artwork: Original, atmostpheric art that captures the "Breaking the Chains" aesthetic for your digital or phsycial tabletop.
- Stunning Professional Layout: 14 pages of high-quality art and "official-style" formatting that fits seamlessly alongside your core rulebooks.
General Feel: While traditional Paladins are often the "Golden Shield" of the status quo, the Oath of Freedom is for the rebels, liberators, and survivors. This subclass moves away from "Lawful Good" rigidity and embraces the chaotic beauty of agency and resilience.
What Makes It Special: It bridges the gap between mechanical power and narrative depth. Whether your Paladin was born in the salt mines or a gilded cage of magical suggestion, this book provides the tools to tell a story of reclaiming one's soul.
