Only kill when necessary.-Fight with defense in mind, unless the enemy has your death or the death of an ally clearly in mind.-Show mercy to those who yield, even evil foes.-Never strike first, unless an enemy has threatened another's life directly.-Undead, constructs (his other favored enemies), and irredeemable evil outsiders should be attacked on site, though suicidal behavior should be used only to save others.2. Favored enemy does not mean "attack/kill on sight."-Stalk foes and observe before acting.-If a foe is clearly weaker, offer redemption and guidance.-Undead, evil outsiders such as devils and demons, and constructs are an exception.3. Think "Paladin code of conduct."-No backstabbing.-No stealing, breaking and entering (unless stalking evil or favored enemy), and no lying ever.-No slaying PCs, even when magically compelled or controlled.4. Do not cooperate with evil.-Do not side or quest with evil.-Do not strike any bargains with evil.-Do not betray friends and allies to evil for any reason, even if such betrayal is in pursuit of a favored enemy.Please let me know what you think.  This PC makes heavy use of the Exalted Deeds book, and his conduct should act to balance out the massive damage he can deal due to the use of that book.  The player resists this idea, and I need a concrete code of conduct so there's no confusion.</blockquote>
