📋 About This Mod

The Oath Framework is an API designed to allow Custom Paladin mods to take advantage of the Oathbreaking features of Baldur's Gate 3, while providing a unique way to Break their Oaths, separate from how Vanilla Paladins would. It also provides the capability for Redemption events, allowing a way to regain your oath without bribing the Oathbreaker Knight. In the future, it is also planned to add ways to allow Clerics and Warlocks to have similar functionality.

Usage
