In Patch 9 of Baldur’s Gate 3

Among the main innovations, we find the new class of Paladins, different in missions and ideals but similar in their oath to defend the good against the evil of the world. Their ultimate goal is to uphold justice and righteousness above all else. The update also adds a hidden subclass of the Paladin, theOathbreaker, which will “unlock” when a Paladin renounces his sacred pledge. To these are added two normal sub-categories Oath of Devotion e Oath of the Ancients.

Level 5 will be the new skill power level for all classes. Spellcasters do especially well at level 5, gaining access to 3rd-level spells such as Fireball, Counterspell e Animate Dead.
