@JeremyECrawford Aura of Hate: fiends and undead within 10 feet of the paladin gain a damage bonus. Does this apply only to fiends and undead friendly to the Oathbreaker, or would the damage bonus also apply to an Awakened Undead PC within ten feet of the enemy NPC Oathbreaker?

The Oathbreaker’s Aura of Hate makes no mention of the fiends and undead being the paladin’s allies. In other words, the aura benefits a fiend or an undead whether or not the creature is friendly toward the paladin. #DnD https://t.co/4Dqmhq8wpi

Mike gave you a useful house rule. The Oathbreaker isn't designed for player characters, as Aura of Hate demonstrates, so that house rule is a fine way to make it work.
