Jun 23, 2003 1:33:16 A new character will be joining a Greyhawk game I am running, based in the Shield Lands. He will be a human cleric of Heironeous, and I am in need of assistance in creating a Code of Conduct for the militant adventurers of the clergy.
Ideas or suggestions appreciated.
Gracias.

It's geared toward Paladins, but should be helpful for clerics too.

Ever since that code was posted I no longer get into arguments with players about paladins. I just point them to that article and say, "That's the code of honour I expect a paladin to adhere to in game... problem?"

Unfortunately, it's also meant nobody has been willing to play a paladin in my games since, rofl!
