📋 About This Mod
OATH OF PESTILENCE HAS COME TO BALDUR'S GATE 3!
My eight subclass from Ghostfire Gaming's Grim Hollow, and first Paladin subclass in quite a while. I've been working on and off on this for some time now, but felt that I wanted to introduce some more death and disease to the world of BG3, so I decided to finish it once and for all. This evil-aligned Paladin subclass comes with custom-colored starting armor and obviously has tons of disease- and sickness-themed abilities, including a toggleable passive that gives you a diseased look, a level 1 Channel Oath feature of my own creation, and a Grim Hollow spell called Flash Fever, which is marked with an asterisk in the oath spell list and detailed further below.

This mod adds the Oath of Pestilence Paladin subclass from Grim Hollow to Baldur's Gate 3, letting you spread disease and filth to become an unstoppable plague. It's a niche but popular choice for players wanting a dark, thematic twist on the Paladin class.
