I agree that they play very differently - that was my point.
I was agreeing with you. Maybe, I Could have conveyed that better.

The only existing Oath I don't really care for is Redemption, with some wonky mechanics one might expect from trying to put a pacifist bent on a combat class.
Which class have you been comparing to? I think Rogues, Fighters and Monks have it worse. Paladins dont have an archetype that is widely accepted as 'weak'. Plus all of them (except Vengeance) get a unique aura that is quite powerful and benefits the party members.Well, perhaps it was by design. The paladin class is arguably a powerful one even without archetype features added. It is just that in reviewing the archetypes, no one at our table has ever found any of them to be compelling for their character--it is almost a "why bother, these all suck" attitude. Compared to archetypes from other classes, they seem severely uninspired.
Catra is not evil.
She's just misunderstood. I mean, how would you feel if your bestie got a hyphen and you didn't?
Hear that, She-Ra? I'm coming for you, and for your precious hyphen!
