It appears that the new Paladin Oath is the Oath of Vengence, basically it focus on Offence the way the Cavalier focuses on defence. Its the update to the 4e Avenger.
Wildshape sounds interesting, you now use the animals actual stat block, so if you take the form of a hound, you have the actual physical stats, senses, attacks, abilities, of a hound. You even gain the hps of a hound, which is seperate from your hps. So if you take the form if the hound you get those hps, if you take damage till those hps are gone, then your revert back into a druid, with what you had for hps before you changed. Its kind of like the animal form provides you with temporary hitpoints whils your in that form. Its smart and I like it.
I am disappointed that the new Oath isn't the Blackguard, but its easy to guess what the Blackguard will be like by comparing this playtest packet with the last one.
