I’m a DM of Curse of Strahd campaign. One of my players is Paladin of Silver Dragon order. He was thinking about oath breaking because he don’t like to play lawful good paladin. I was thinking about killing him and make him a revenant with Oath Breaker subclass, like other knights of Silver dragon order. When should I do it? Let him break an Oath or should I just find a right time to the kill him and then resurrect? What do you guys think about this idea?

Super cool idea Maciukas ! Thematically speaking. It sounds way more weighty to have the paladin cut down dramatically in their prime, thus breaking the oath they had as a paladin. Bloody revenge on the big bad that did the deed being the thing that animates them back. Their tragic death and their being an unholy monstrosity restricting them from fulfilling their motal duties has some Shakespearian level tragedy. Building that up though, that's the fun part. Within your overall story this might be near then end, when the whole party is on their last legs, your villian has struck a brutal blow. When the paladin falls, could you play a session where you explore the aftermath of an event like that? NPCs lamenting their loss, a Sr leader from their order crying at their funeral as they play a new rolled character. Then when they are ready to face the big bad again, when things look dire again, you hand that player their character sheet back with revenant oathbreaker stats. Hop on our Discord, we have a hangout tonight at 6PM PST if you're able. We'd love to think this through with you and hear more about your CoS playthrough.
