Seven Deadly Sins
Often called the Oath of Hedonism, the Paladins that take this oath are not necessarily evil, but live life to the fullest and let nothing stand in the way of fulfilling their desires. They are unbridled and free to express and follow whatever drives they feel, when they feel them. Some may take it to extremes and allow sin to turn them into Sin Knights, full of sin and carnage as they take what they please.
Ideals: A life of no restriction is the best life. Anything that can add to your pleasure and merriment is a boon to be taken up and enjoyed to its fullest.
Embrace sin.
Live free of shame and let your passions run rampant.
Never hold yourself back from pleasure.
