[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 5694275, member: 92511"] Ok, we're wavering away from topic here a bit, though I am, of course, interested in hearing what everyone thinks on the topic and the tangents of "whether this is necessary or not". The thread is working under the assumption that "it is" and/or "it could help minimize disagreements in play" and provide a framework for acceptable [in-character] behavior (personal morals or beliefs of the players are really kind of irrelevant. These codes are for the actions and attitudes of your fictional characters in a fantasy role-playing game) and promote internal world consistency. Since "good/evil" or more specifically "paladins" are cause for a good bit of debate for many, what about Druids? In the event you maintain the original concept of Druids being Neutral (whether you insist on True Neutrality, which I do, or allow for other Neutral bents), what would be some items one might find in the secret sacred oaths of a Druidic order? Someone posted a few good ones back on page 1, I think (apologies, I can't get back to see who it actually was while I'm "replying"). Let's see what else we can do with Druids. What would be unacceptable/cause the loss of druidic status? I myself have not ever seen this happen in play. But the possibility that it [I]could[/I] is supposed to be an understood risk of playing this class/deviating from alignment. --SD [/QUOTE]
