Dude , I think I have 7 pairs . 4 black and 3 other colors . I love them . I go through them fast but for the price they are great . Just bought some levis for 40 percent off though to compare . <| sep |> But the Fall has to come actively ! from the player . Yes by defying his god . So here you go , RAW from the PHBA paladin tries to hold to the highest standards of conduct , but even the most virtuous paladin is fallible . Sometimes the right path proves too demanding , sometimes a situation calls for the lesser of two evils , and sometimes the heat ofemotion causes a paladin to transgress his or her oath . A paladin who has broken a vow typically seeks absolution from a cleric who shares his or her faith or from another paladin of the same order . The paladin might spend an all night vigil in prayer as a sign of penitence , or undertake a fast or similar act of selfdenial . After a rite of confession and forgiveness , the paladin starts fresh . If a paladin willfully violates his or her oath and shows no sign of repentance , the consequences can be more serious . At the DM ' s discretion , an impenitent paladin might be forced to abandon this class and adopt another , or perhaps to take the Oathbreaker paladin option that appears in the Dungeon Master ' s Guide . So when your paladin says Yeah , I ' m not going to follow my oath anymore . and continues to violate it then he has made a choice and the DM can make him an oathbreaker , literally RAW here now .
