[QUOTE="Torm, post: 1999790, member: 12706"] I like everything you have, with a few exceptions. They are as follows: Obey your Duty, not your master - a worthy mortal master will be one whose directives are compatible with the dictates of your Duty. If not, this is part of a Paladin's Duty to be wary of corruption. (also, please capitalize Duty throughout the Code.) Bring MERCIFUL, quick death to traitors - why would a Paladin of Torm seek to cause any living thing pain, other than occasionally in lesson, with their best interests at heart? There is no honor in retribution, and no purpose to a lesson taught to one you intend to kill immediately afterward - only a darkening of the soul. Replace "Every failure of Duty...." with "Be mindful to serve your Duty through adherence to Purity, Virtue, and an honorable amount of precision and cleanliness of appearance. That which serves to improve the reputation of Paladins in the eyes of the people, without being dishonest or bringing dishonor, serves to ease Duty when it relates to those people, and thus makes Paladins more effective in their service." ([B]I[/B] don't have a "luster", nor a creamy center. :] ) I would also add, to the section about defending the weak, immediately after "power you wield." "Extend this even unto your foes, as you follow the Code of Honorable Combat." So speaks Torm, the True, the Loyal Fury. [/QUOTE]
