My list is far from complete and i would like your imput on what I can add to make a more realistic and indepth code of conduct for my character thanks for the help

AKA fail to work with your spellcasting allies and to die like a gnat when attacked by LE sorcerer/monks. ...never resort to torture, defend the down trodden equally without prejudice toward social standing. AKA be lawful good. Here's the code I use for my paladins: (from Unearthed Arcana) Never commit an evil act. Respect legitimate authority. Act with honor (don't lie, don't cheat, don't use poison). Help those who need help (unless they abuse that help for evil or chaotic ends). Punish those that harm or threaten innocents. Under three seperate DM's I've never gone wrong with it. I've never seen the need for an elaborately detailed code. Batman never wrote his down. Neither did Spider-Man, Captain America, Zhao Yun, Samwise Gamgee, or King Elessar. You're a fearless hero, not a corporate copyright lawyer. You know the difference between right and wrong, and never do wrong.
