The tenets of the Oath of Vengeance vary by paladin, but all the tenets revolve around punishing wrongdoers by any means necessary. Paladins who uphold these tenets are willing to sacrifice even their own righteousness to mete out justice upon those who do evil, so the paladins are often neutral or lawful neutral in alignment. The core principles of the tenets are brutally simple.

Fight the Greater Evil

Faced with a choice of fighting my sworn foes or combating a lesser evil, I choose the greater evil.

No Mercy for the Wicked

Ordinary foes might win my mercy, but my sworn enemies do not.

By Any Means Necessary

My qualms can't get in the way of exterminating my foes.

Restitution

If my foes wreak ruin on the world, it is because I failed to stop them. I must help those harmed by their misdeeds.
