10-01-06, 04:47 AM Please post your paladin's code of conduct here. I'll start!

A paladin’s word speaks only the purest truth. His might upholds the weak. His voice is for those who cannot speak. His strength defends the helpless. And his mind is ever-present and keen, let his judgment never cloud with doubt. He shall not hold himself above those he guards; rather remind himself that he is a guardian of what is just and true.
This quest shall take him to dark places. To those he finds there he shall be a beacon, a symbol of peace and compassion. The darkness must be given a chance to see the light, or all is for naught. A warrior of light must wield wisdom and courage, for they are the supreme weapons against evil. With his might he must give peace to lost lambs, give rest to the fangs of the wolf, and call the hammer of death unto the devil.
I further foreswear myself to the righteous rulers of the lands I visit and remain mindful that without king there can be no country. The laws must be preserved both by action and in spirit for the good of all who exist in a peaceful, just kingdom. To the King of Emperia and to his Lords and Ladies I pledge to do all that is within my power to uphold that which countless people have bled to preserve. In times of peace I shall do charitable deeds, heal the sick, and give comfort to those less fortunate.
My last oath I make to my god Heironeius. Through him I have seen the divine light that awaits all who are. I will carry His message to all who are lost, that the light of hope may shine on all. Even my darkest foes shall be given respect, and quarter. At no time shall I forget that no one has the right to take the life of another. All must be given the chance for salvation. I pledge myself to thee Heironeius, and swear my life to thy service, as a warrior of light, and an apostle of peace I am yours to command in all things.

I'm hoping to see more codes of conduct, I've posted a paladin's but others wouldn't be bad either. Just anything you have played in the past that you still remember the code for.

10-01-06, 06:00 AM I like what I see here, and I'd like to contribute.

Only trouble is, that this belongs to my "servant of Beelzebub", that I am currently playing and it is hardly formalized. In the campaign, Beelzebub is the archdevil of pride, and he isn't the garden variety of archdevil found in BoVD, but rather a powerful creature that could easily destroy an army of mortals.

1) My loyalty lies with Beelzebub and those who would follow him. I shall not strike down one of my Lord's servants or himself, nor shall I encourage others to do so, barring those who plan on betraying my allpowerful master.
2) Those souls that stray from our true path shall be brought back upon it, using strength of arms and deception as needed.
3) I shall observe the laws, to which I am bound, and seek to uphold them to the letter of the law, in this way there shall truly be order and the chaos of the world shall be eliminated once and for all.
4) If I ever lose the favor of Beelzebub, I shall, in order to redeem myself, bring Beelzebub onehundred untainted souls.
5) Should I ever betray this oath, my immortal soul shall be Beelzebubs possession for all eternity, and the torture of it will be rightly justified assuming I don't redeem myself (as described in #4)

10-02-06, 01:35 AM We have a good oath, and now an evil one [I like your atonement section]. This is just being made as sort of an archive for people to write their character's code of conduct, no matter what code they might follow, so that people can use them as a guideline for making their own characters with such moral ideals. I hope this resource will be useful to people when making a character of any alignment, and I might try to formalize a choatic evil code for an old character of mine sometime soon.
Keep them coming.
