Paladin subclass still looks cool, but I still don't like the idea of divine casters getting divine magic from Genies instead of Gods in the Forgotten Realms

Like the art for the Aasimar College of the Moonwell

Divine magic va.arcane isn't really a thing in D&D at this point, Paladin are not mechanically tied to gods.

True, but that doesn't mean you have to like it! In my games a cleric get's their power from a god and can loose it if they displease their good. I'm a bit old school in that way.

heh Bannerets back
and its reactive boosts and emphasis on positioning and action economy are nice features that give it flavoursome niche

Mechanically you have a point. Lore wise it matters.

It absolutely does matter, but Lore wise, Paladins in 5e get their powers from their Oath, not from gods. At least as the default Lore written in the books - every DM can obviously alter the lore as they see fit for their table

But...does it, though?

I'm with you.

Genies are elemental beings. Druidic magic comes at least partially from the elemental planes. These paladins are far more druidic/primal than arcane, and no more lore breaking than an oath of the ancients.

Im just saying, you clerics and paladins better not be having a Crisis of Faith anytime soon.

And I'm ESPECIALLY keeping an eye on you Mr. Warlock.
