Sacred Oath
Oath of Justice
Paladins are notable for each one's unwavering zealotry, smack in face evil. Yet some paladin's divinity can grow beyond close confrontation and bloom into a devastating barrage of holy lead. These paladins take on the oath of justice, an edict etched into the very fiber of their being.
Tenets of Justice
The tenets of the Oath of Justice hold one thing true, where law is scarce and evil runs rampant, only divine intervention from a paladin's weapon can dispense justice in the form of radiant projectiles. Justice must be met, and a paladin's weapon guides that cause.
Uproot Injustice. Justice will never dispense itself, it must be carried out with expert precision bringing law and order back to the lands.
Live as a Beacon of Justice. One must uphold that which he or she holds true. For how can one bring justice unto others, when justice lies not within oneself.
Justice for Good. Let not your task deviate you from the lives of good folk. Bringing justice to the world brings comfort to them.
