So far, I have seen one paladin violate his oath to the point that he got a warning in the form of being unable to get the blood off his hands or sword after engaging in a very aggressive and pointless slaughter as a redemption paladin. And this was after this player, who is the very stereotype of the guy who always plays DN murderhobos, had been doing an amazing job of playing the self-sacrificing, Lawful Good, Superman-morality paladin since he made the character like five or six sessions before. He atoned (I converted the old atonement spell to 5e ages ago, so there was a method for doing so in place in the game). Had he not done so, further willful violations would have put him in oathbreaker status.Also of interest, a LE pc paladin of vengeance in service to Tiamat got tricked by an abishai into thinking he had stepped across the line when he slew a chromatic dragon. But that was devil trickery, not an actual violation. Still, that paladin shied away from combat with chromatic dragons for years of in-game time.</blockquote>
