[QUOTE="Fanaelialae, post: 7815580, member: 53980"] Pretty much. In the sidebar on breaking your oath, it states that, "A paladin who has broken a vow typically seeks absolution from a cleric who shares his or her faith or from another paladin of the same order... After a rite of confession and forgiveness, the paladin starts fresh. If a paladin willfully violates his or her oath and shows no sign of repentance, the consequences can be more serious. At the DM's discretion, an impertinent paladin might be forced to abandon this class and adopt another one, or perhaps to take the Oathbreaker paladin option..." So only in the case of a willful and unrepentant violation do mechanical penalties come into play. A person being mugged (and I believe that is the case here) isn't willingly doing anything. They are being compelled via the threat of violence. The worst he should need to do is go to confession. [/QUOTE]
