[QUOTE="Thunderfoot, post: 5691299, member: 34175"] Here's some of mine from my old home-brew [B]Codes of St. Ethelred[/B] Defender of the defenseless. [I]Clerical Codes[/I] As a bearer of the holy shield of St. Ethelred I will always stand in the path of evil, ready to lay down my life so others might live. I will not lay down my life needlessly for such a death is an empty death. As a bearer of the sword of truth I will seek out evil that intends harm to the weak, meek and powerless. As a bearer of the sword of justice I will stop those evils that I have uncovered and exact judgement as the law allows. As a member of the holy order I will observe the high holy days of the mighty one and ever preach his divine grace and protection. [I]Paladin Code[/I] I will use my sword, my shield, my mind and body in the defense of those that can not or will not defend themselves. I will never knowingly allow a defenseless soul to stand in peril I will be on guard against evil actions and will be swift in my retribution I will lay down my life in defense of the weak, but will not needlessly offer my life in vain. I will tirelessly seek peaceful resolution first but will not hold back my wrath if that fails. Should I find an evil being engaging in evil acts, I will do my best to dissuade them of continuing before ending their life. I will obey the commands of my officers, my priests, my seniors* and my lord. If my life is to be forfeit, I will make my enemy pay dearly with every drop of blood they spill. (* this was a clerical campaign title, not older persons in general) [I]The Paladin's Creed[/I] In all things I shall be true, in speech, manners, thoughts and deeds. In all things I shall be pure, in speech, manners, thoughts and deeds. In all things I shall be humble, in speech, manners, thoughts and deeds. In all things I shall be obedient, in speech, manners, thoughts and deeds. [/QUOTE]
