The Oath of Drama is driven by an intense passion for the art of theater, acting, and storytelling. They devote themselves completely to their roles, imbuing themselves with the courage and strength of the heroes they play on the stage, whether they be from historical dramas, fantastical tales, or mythological epics. Some paladins who take this oath are followers of gods who support the arts, while others have no connection to gods at all, and are simply so passionate about getting into character that it manifests magically.

Tenets of Drama

Paladins of this oath often frame their action in real life by the structure of plays and stories, and design their tenets to reflect that.

The Hero's Journey. You are the protagonist of your own story. You will face trails and tribulations, struggle endlessly, and perhaps fall deep into the belly of the whale, but that is all a part of the process. You know you will succeed as long as you have determination.

All the World's A Stage. Performance doesn't stop when you walk off the stage. The world is your audience, and so your story should be an entertaining one. Your every action should be done with dramatic flair.

Moral of the Story. As an actor, you are a lens through which others can view the tragic truths of life that they would otherwise block out. Whenever there is strife, you must be a heroic role model and openly discuss the themes of the situation in order to guide those who are lost.

Conflict Builds Character. Everyone has flaws and inner demons, and the only way to root them out is through conflict and struggle. Do not reject people for being imperfect, because that's what makes them interesting. Still, growth is necessary. You must face your own challenges head-on and encourage others to do the same with theirs.
