[QUOTE="dco, post: 7348052"] The mechanics are the same, the rest no. It's not the same to spend the life training and devoting your soul to your god who gives you divine powers than make an oath and gain divine powers. Worship alone doesn't give you divine powers, the God chooses you and gives you the powers and expects something from you. The current class gain the powers from a simple oath, not sure why a soldier who makes an oath could not have divine powers in that kind of world, or a couple, or any other individual swearing something, it should be something usual. No. A bard learns how to use music or songs to manipulate arcane energies present in the world. The wizard learns to use those arcane energies in other ways. The sorcerer is a source of arcane energy because of reasons. The Warlock gains power from an entity, etc. Very different situations compared to an individual swearing something and applying some dedication to his vows. The rules don't say anything about the paladin's oath reaching the cosmos and changing the reality. [/QUOTE]
