Now I'm just imagining the ~~vegan~~ paladin police "oh yea"-ing through the tavern wall and giving you paladin oath tickets.

"What do you stealing that healing potion is against my oath? No one caught me!"

I’m confused. In what way does sarcasm break paladin oaths? Not even devotion paladins would break their oaths via sarcasm. Here are the tenets of a devotion paladin:

Tenets of Devotion

Though the exact words and strictures of the Oath of Devotion vary, paladins of this oath share these tenets.

Honesty. Don't lie or cheat. Let your word be your promise.

Courage. Never fear to act, though caution is wise.

Compassion. Aid others, protect the weak, and punish those who threaten them. Show mercy to your foes, but temper it with wisdom.

Honor. Treat others with fairness, and let your honorable deeds be an example to them. Do as much good as possible while causing the least amount of harm.

Duty. Be responsible for your actions and their consequences, protect those entrusted to your care, and obey those who have just authority over you.

As you can see sarcasm isn’t mentioned.

Kelek's breath, I was mostly being facetious!

In all honestly, I don't believe it would be, but I'm sure it's a trait viewed as less than appropriate as it could be viewed as rubbing against the ideals of honor and honesty.

sarcasm is lying with a tone that is supposed to indicate irony. it IS lying tho

Well, the way Oath is worded, I would say that nothing was promised and in that way sarcasm is not a lie. But maybe that's more about rules as written against as intended.
