I will not be foolhardy.6. One of my advisers will be non-military, non-adventurer, maybe even non-adult; they'll notice flaws in my plans that no one else will.7. I will not gloat over my enemies' predicament before killing them (from the Evil list . . .).8. I will run away to fight another day, rather than die futilely.9. I will not fight "just for the experience". Focus on the Objective!10. I will take and interrogate prisoners rather than Slaughter Everyone.11. I will never think I'm invincible/indestructible.12. I will have backup plans.13. I will have backups of items that I need to defeat the Evil Overlord.15. Lawful Evil is not trustworthy.18. When I capture a beautiful minion of the Evil Overlord, I will not believe she's so attracted to my good looks and purity that she will gladly betray her Lord. (If I'm female,        same applies to handsome male minions.)19. While escaping I will not pause to make some wise-crack to the enemy.20. If my advisers/friends think my plan is bad, I will listen to them.21. My guards/prison wardens will always operate in pairs. If one goes missing the other will immediately raise the alarm.22. I will imprison enemies in widely separated places, whenever possible.23. I will take my enemies alive only where it is practical.24. I will not immediately believe an enemy who says they have Seen the Light and are changing sides.25. When the big fight is about to start, I will think about all my items and capabilities to find something especially useful.26. I will never accept a challenge from an enemy leader.28. I will not split the party!Okay The list is a good one with a couple of bad rules. I would strike these rules for a heroic party. They are not heroic. The high road is not the easy road, generally.3. When I capture one of my chief enemies, and cannot take them to prison, I will thoroughly kill them on the spot. (Shannara Chronicles)4. If it's impractical to "bring the Evil Overlord to justice", I'll kill them on the spot. I AM justice, when Necessary.5. I will burn to fine ashes any powerful enemy I kill, whenever possible.14. I will also find the Evil Overlord's children/siblings, and if they're Evil, kill them.17. This is a War, not Sport. I will kill the Evil bastards any way I can.27. The only good orc, is a dead orc. (Or other Evil race.)16. I will not allow Evil characters to join my party. Is ironic because following the cut rules would probably make the 'heroic party', evil. Sometimes heroic characters will have to partner with evil, but will do their best to blunt their evil or redeem them.I would add a few about heroes not going loot crazy during their adventure. Not everything needs to be skinned. There is probably no market for goblin teeth. Detect Evil is not plot radar. Do try and help the innocents caught in your murder spree of righteousness.</blockquote>
