It's neat how they thought of so many different scenarios. You don't get any other gods mentioned in paladin dialogues as far as I can tell. I played a PC of Tiefling, Drow, and Half-orc paladins so far and none of those had any "Paladin of" options to choose. SH just happened to be my face this run and I guess if you respec her they gave her these specific options.

This happens whenever you multi-class into paladin/cleric as any other character, didn't know you don't need to do so specifically for Shadowheart. The fact that the god specific paladin dialogue exists really makes me wish we got an optional god selection for paladins during character creation, having to sacrifice a feat or a bunch of class features just to get some RP dialogue kinda sucks.

There's a couple of mods to that end, though I can't vouch for them. I've been meaning to try them out but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

And here's one for paladins specifically. Again, I have not tested any of these myself.

That's awesome! In my run she's a pure paladin but I guess now I'm going to have to roll a Paladin of Lolth so me and Minth can be twinsies.

The really neat thing is there is even a tag on her statistics page that says Paladin of Shar.

I just checked with a new character and you're totally right. I wonder what happens if you go meet the paladins of Tyr as a real Paladin of Tyr... Man, just when I thought I was done with this game it drags me back in.

The level of detail in general is insane, so I am not too surprised. They even have an option when you are a Paladin that broke the oath of the ancients when conversing with that druid tyrant (forgot her name). I was very happily surprised when I saw that.

The best oathbreaker dialog I got so far was talking to Raphael. He offered me his deal and I said (paraphrased) "I'm a paladin sworn to uphold a holy vow". Raphael is like "You broke your oaths homie. Not so holy I guess." or something to that effect. Made me crack up that Raphael could tell I was an oathbreaker.

Pretty sure that’s because of her backstory. Iirc those same lines should be the same as if she were a Cleric except with a “Cleric of Shar” tag.
