I get that between this one and the Redemption Paladin, they're both looking for Paladin types that break out from the expected Paladin archetypes.

Conquest being the Lawful Evilish Paladin and playing up the militant nature of the class and subverting it by being sort of evil, or Law over Good.

Redemption being the Neutral Goodish Paladin emphasizing the Good over Law, with the subversion of Pacifism over militancy.

Hmmm... two new "fallen" paladin types. I kinda wish that we had one more along the lines of Ancient that break from the standard knight-in-armor types.

Dude, Gyor, the "post video" link is RIGHT THERE when you're posting...the little film-strip looking icon. Next to the little tree picture icon.

This is one that I liked mechanically, but it's always going to be a stretch to play cause of how dark it leans.

I've got a player who multi-classed into it from the Zealot Barbarian, and he's generally trouble so I thought it would be a good experiment. Then he hasn't shown up for a while now, so I have still have no practical data to work with.

Redemption isn't a fallen paladin type, from what I remember. More of a martyr styled one.

Here's the UA article. It breaks from the knight-in-armor archetype more than any other paladin, what with not wearing armor or wielding martial weapons.

That's an over simplification, Redemption could follow any good alignment and Conquest doesn't have to be evil and in fact there is a kind of civil war between the Evil and None Evil Oath of Conquest Paladins.

Thanks for the tip.

A Lawful Neutral Oath of Conquest Paladin is an entirely viable PC option: even within "no evil PC" parameters, not every PC has to be flowers and sunshine.
