[QUOTE="mfrench, post: 3892339, member: 32901"] The last thing for most PCs is Languages and the Personal Code. I've got some thoughts on the Code for a couple of people to get them started.[sblock=for Oathblades]1) My oath is my life. To break my oath would be worse than to lose my life. 2) My blade will be satisfied each time it is drawn. I will not return it to its rest before it has tasted blood. 3) I will not draw my blade in the presence of a bladesmith except by his permission, or for his protection. I will never harm a bladesmith, nor by inaction allow a bladesmith to come to harm. 4) I will strike down without hesitation any of the uninitiated who deign to wield a sacred blade. 5) I will hunt with vigilance any oathblade who breaks these oaths. Truly, though he be my very brother, no quarter will be shown he who is found guilty in the eyes of a bladesmith. Thus have I sworn, so shall I live. Note: The bladesmiths are the judges of the order of Oathblades. They can no longer use the blades in combat, but they craft them, bless them, keep track of initiates, and make rulings on whether or not oaths have been broken.[/sblock] [sblock=Monks]Traditionally, actual Buddhist monks swear to avoid the ten Nonvirtues: In action: killing, stealing, sexual misconduct In speech: lying, divisive words, harsh words, useless chatter In thought: covetousness, harmful intent, wrong views This is just a baseline to think of exactly what your vows would be.[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
