Paladin Oath of the Sin Eater

The Oath of the Sin Eater is one of great controversy, as its followers flip the entire pantheon on its head with their defiant abilities. Known either simply as sin eaters, devil eaters, or swallowers of blackness, those who follow this oath hold the unique ability to devour the sins of others through a process known as sin eating.

Sometimes this process is symbolic, with the sin eater simply absorbing the sins of others. Other times, the sin eater will eat a small piece of food during this ritual, or even a piece of the other’s body. By performing this ritual, you take on the sins and darkness of the other’s soul, preventing them from an afterlife befitting an evil creature.

This is both a salvation for truly good creatures who would be denied divine reward over a single moment of weakness, and a torturous punishment to truly evil creatures who would otherwise be rewarded by their evil gods in the afterlife.

This oath's powers give the user self-healing and a specialized set of powers, including the ability to take on the ailments of others, and to prevent the return of undead.
