For Paladins, I apply a Kantian ethic and an universal imperative for them. It just fits more in my opinion.
Of course, I also impose a 'Neutrality Before Faith' edict universally amongst agents of the divine to keep agents of the gods from 'killing/harming' based solely on one's deity or alignment. This is ironically an advantage for the chaotic and/or evil characters as they typically require 'less' motivation to kill or harm.

Kantian ethic and his imperative are nice concepts but I prefer to keep it more grounded than that. "I am a Paladin, I pledge fairness to all, to uphold the good, protect the weak and innocent and vanquish all evil. Mercy is my left hand, Righteousness my right."reiella said:

My mistake; the code is from Gene Autry.
Gene Autrys Cowboy Code:
1. The cowboy must never shoot first, hit a smaller man or take unfair advantage.
2. The cowboy must never go back on his word or a trust confided in him.
3. A cowboy must always tell the truth.
4. A cowboy must be gentle with children, the elderly and animals.
5. A cowboy must not advocate or possess racially or religiously intolerant ideas.
6. A Cowboy must help people in distress
7. A Cowboy must be a good worker
8. A cowboy must keep himself clean in speech, thought action and personal habits.
9. A Cowboy must respect women, his parents and the nation's laws.
10. The cowboy is a patriot.

If you want a paladin's code, you should probably check the next best thing. From The Order of St. John of Jerusalem (the Knights Hospitaller, et al)
