The Zealot’s Code of Honor

Many paladins, clerics, and law enforcers use this code as a basis, and try and enforce its use, punishing those who ignore it.

Thou Shalln’t Mangle the Weak

• A-1: No harming innocent^1:1 women^1:2 or children^1:3 unless as part of a hostage
• A-2: No killing innocent^1:1 women^1:2 or children^1:3
• A-3: No harming innocent^1:1 little^1:3 girls^1:2
• A-4: No killing little^1:3 girls^1:2
• A-5: No killing women^1:2 or children^1:3 unless as part of self defense: with them being the threat
• A-6: No killing or harming animals^1:4 unless absolutely necessary
• A-7: The elderly^1:5 should be killed quickly^1:6 (If they are to be killed)

Thou Shalln’t Ruin One’s Life Nor Torture

• B-1: No mutilation; No permanently disabling/(extreme)^2:1 disfiguring
• B-2: No stealing or destroying of precious objects^2:2 that contain sentimental significance to the owner
• B-3: No torturing, though inflicting pain to a hostage or victim of interrogation, as well as inflicting mild pain^2:3 to the victim of an extortion is allowed
• B-4: Those that genuinely^2:4 beg for life, referencing “B-4 of The Zealot’s Code of Honor” are to be spared their life
• B-5: Those that wish for death are to be healed, but healing is not available, then put out of their misery quickly^1:6

Thou Shalln’t Violate the Code

• C-1: Zealots^3:1 that violate The Zealot’s Code of Honor are to be striped of their status as a zealot^3:1
• C-2: Those that are not zealots^3:1 that have violated The Zealot’s Code of Honor are to be striped of their rights given to them by The Zealot’s Code of Honor and shall be known as a moderate^3:2
• C-3: Moderates^3:2 that violate The Zealot’s Code of Honor are to be killed quickly^1:6 (moderates^3:2 retain this right to be quickly killed even though a moderate has no rights granted to them by the code)
• C-4: A moderate^3:2 can have their rights restored by atoning to a zealot^3:1 (if the zealot^3:1 grants them a pardon^3:3), and a ex-zealot^3:1 can have their status restored by following The Zealot’s Code of Honor for a fourth of a score
• C-5: One that fakes it’s status or rights being restored (See C-4 of The Zealot’s Code of Honor. Ex. A zealot^3:1 getting its status revoked but waiting less than 5 years to identify as a zealot once more, or a moderate^3:2 forging a pardon^3:3) are to be deemed worse than a moderate^3:2; suffering the fate of a moderate^3:2, but cannot have its rights/status restored and doesn’t need to be quickly killed (See C-3 of The Zealot’s Code of Honor

Alternate Currency

You may want a more modern currency in your game, this aims to help with that by granting a series of variant rules. If you want to mimic a modern day kind of currency system, here’s what I recommend: Alternate Names, Commoner Currency=200 Times (goats modern day are worth 100-300 dollars, averaging out at 200$; goats in dnd are worth 1 gold piece; that means that if a gold piece is the medieval equivalent to a dollar, everything is 200 times more expensive), Cash vs Coins=Cash, Singular Currency=Gold Piece

Alternate Names

Old Name	New Name
Copper Piece	Broadbarrelic Penny
Silver Piece	Broadbarrelic Dime
Electrum Peice	Broadbarrelic Half
Gold Peice	Broadbarrelic Dollar
Platinum Peice	Broadbarrelic Sawbuck

Commoner Currency

Inflation may have taken place which can make money more common, so in this case, make everything 10 times more expensive and rewards worth 10 times as much to balance things out. Alternatively, you can make this 2 times, 5 times, 100 times, whatever you want, just make sure it balances out.

Cash vs Coins

Instead of coins, you may want paper currency. In this case, as they are easier to produce, inflation will rise, so you may want to use Commoner Currency (see above).

Singular Currency

Just so things such as different types of pieces like gold pieces and copper pieces, you can instead have a singular currency piece.
