Code of Honor

The Code of Honor flaw represents a standard the character decides to live by. A Code of Honor must have real consequences to the life of the character and the campaign in general, and living up to the code shouldn’t always be easy or even the right decision. A Code of Honor that requires a character to attack any evil aliens he meets isn’t that much of a burden, but defending all aliens in a human-dominated galaxy is.

The player and the Gamemaster need to work out the character’s Code of Honor when this flaw is selected. They should also discuss the types of events that might trigger the character’s overblown sense of duty, honor, and commitment.

Examples of characters who have codes of honor that could be flaws include clergymen, law enforcers, government officials, business administrators, and doctors. The achievement points a character receives for participating in an adventure can be reduced if this flaw isn’t roleplayed as part of the character’s basic makeup.
