Nobody here is necessarily suggesting you allow your Paladin player to retcon. If 5 levels in you tell me you want your Rogue to be a Fighter instead because you're not having fun playing a Rogue, then yes, the answer is to let you rebuild your character (hopefully with a skillset that's at least similar), or retire them and start a new one. If the Paladin is being a Good-aligned stick in the mud and ruining (or at least diminishing) the ENTIRE PARTY'S fun, you should absolutely let him change his character. The single most important rule of D&D is the rule of fun. Or if the other fighter got a magic weapon but i didnt, i dont think it would be overpowered to give me a magic weapon too, just make the encounters more difficult? What about if i found a +3 axe, but my 5th lvl fighter uses longswords, would you transform the weapon to appease me? maybe admit your mistake, because you knew i use longswords yet you put an axe in the treasure a anyway? Let me ask you, if i had a rogue in your campaign, and 5 lvls in i tell you i want my rogue to be a fighter instead, would you let me just replace the abilities and switch my gear to something a rogue should have? Like i said im new to dm'ing, but i always thought of it as a roleplaying game, so when a player decided they no longer want to play their role and instead change their paladin from a protector of the people to someone who is getting annoyed npc's wont just do as he says at the drop of a hat.it destroys the spirit of the game for me.
Why in the world, as the DM, are you saying no to a player's wishes when it isn't even remotely overpowered?
This makes a lot of sense, so would you say i should tell him he needs something to dedicate himself to if he wants to change to an oathbreaker? If you think about it like that, then you won't be so bothered about having a power swap rather than power loss.
An Oathbreaker is as convicted as ever, it is just that the realities of life have twisted their focus into something far less altruistic.
Paladin's get their power from their own sense of conviction - a Paladin that loses that conviction loses the source of his power.
