A Human Male Fallen Paladin with a lance in Dungeons & Dragons is a warrior once devoted to a sacred oath but now forsaken, either through their own choices or due to circumstances that led them down a darker path. Unlike a traditional paladin who channels divine power for righteousness, a Fallen Paladin—often a Oathbreaker—has lost favor with their deity or abandoned their oath, gaining new, often sinister abilities.

As a human, this character benefits from versatility, an extra skill, and a bonus feat if using the Variant Human rules. This adaptability can shape their playstyle, whether as a tragic anti-hero seeking redemption or a ruthless enforcer of their new ideology. The lance, a powerful reach weapon, allows them to strike enemies from a distance, often while mounted. However, its disadvantage when attacking adjacent foes forces strategic movement.

A Fallen Paladin still retains core martial prowess, heavy armor proficiency, and divine smites, but their magic and aura may take on a darker tone, such as causing fear or sapping vitality. If playing as an Oathbreaker from the Dungeon Master’s Guide, they gain abilities like the Aura of Hate, boosting melee damage for themselves and undead allies, and the ability to control undead creatures.

Roleplaying this character can involve themes of loss, vengeance, or an internal struggle between past ideals and their new path. Depending on the Dungeon Master’s world, they might seek to reclaim their honor, serve a dark patron, or forge their own destiny outside divine influence. Whether as a fallen knight, a former champion of justice turned mercenary, or a cursed warrior haunted by past failures, this character offers depth, moral dilemmas, and powerful combat potential in any campaign.
