Exactly, that's my point. Changing that changes the class's identity. This would be a good opportunity for one of your 30 new classes.Paladins of the first 4 editions were attach to a god or religion as first assumption.
That's correct, a Paladin is one of the 12 Peers of Charlemagne's court, or perhaps a Knight renowned for heroism and chivalry.But...that's not what a paladin is.

Belief bro. Paladin's are supernatural. They have such crazy deep belief in their values that it makes them into bless'd knights.But how does an oath give them power at all? Where does the power come from?
I wouldn't say that they're "highly skilled professionals." In my book a first level paladin is probably some sort of a squire or a neophyte or equivalent. They don't even take their oath till third level, which is where I'd say they would become something equivalent of a knight.
Im not sure I'm ready to elevate what is essentially road rage to being born with a special destiny or having an innate supernatural boon.
And that 3rd level subclass thing comes up again. Paladins get their powers from their Oath. Paladins don't take their Oath until level 3. So where did the level 1 and 2 powers come from?
Great! Have at it! If things don't work out, Mr. Mayor, give me a call.
And the limits of what needs to be spelled out include the beyond mundane abilities of fighters, if they in fact have them.
Where does the book say that barbarians powers are a result of their special birth?
