Not to mention utterly devotion to camarilla hierarchy.<br/>Still, to me, it will not qualify as "code of honor" per se, as its way too limited and conraversal in writing, as everyone inturbits them diffrently. Merit itself states that character must follow the "code" strictly. Making (un)life pretty difficult is the code is in traditions, imho.<br/><br/>1st Tradition: The Masquerade. <br/>- Thou shalt not reveal thy thy nature to those not of the Blood. Doing so shall renounce thy claims of Blood. <br/>(breaking this, would force character to cause suicide....)<br/><br/>2nd Tradition: The Domain<br/>- Thy domain is thy concern. All others owe thee respect while in it. None may challenge thy word in thy domain.<br/>(Owner of said Domain is to be worshipped like an god..)<br/><br/>3th Tradition: The Progeny<br/>- Thou shalt sire another only with permission of thine elder. If thou createst another without thine elder's leave, both thou and thy progeny shalt be slain.<br/>(not hard to hold really)<br/><br/>4th Tradition: The Accounting<br/>- Those thou create are thine own childer. Until thy progeny shall be released, thou shalt command them in all things. Their sins are thine to endure.<br/>(not hard to hold, as 3th)<br/><br/>5th Tradition: Hospitality<br/>- Honor one another's domain, When thou comest to a foreign city, thou shalt present thyself to the one who ruleth there. Without the word of acceptance, thou art nothing.<br/>(Pretty hard to move around the town, where diffrent sects/persons/cotteries hold domain over very very mixing borders)<br/><br/>6th Tradition: Destruction<br/>- Thou art forbidden to destroy another of thy kind. The right of destruction belongeth only to thine elder. Only the eldest among thee shall call the blood hunt.<br/>(again, pretty easy to hold)<br/><br/>All in all, I would never want Code of Honor merit with those limitation... way too hard to hold, compared to say: Romantic Knight's code or Samurai Bushi for instance. And not to mention, the Traditions are not same in every domain, clan, mentor, what not...<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Code of Honor is a MERIT its supposed to be role-played out but not be a Flaw overall, the only issue is what can a Camarilla Kindred with Status of one dot do that the Prince and Elders overlook as acceptable or not that is what she can or can't do. Right now she has no status proper so ghouling someone is a no go without someone in power that matters approving but could the Tremere with a Status on one make a ghoul normally and no one would care if done carefully - damned likely. She would then feel if she gets Status one dot she has the same implied permission. It might require she do things more carefully a herd could be done but would need to be subtle and likely kept smaller and again at neonate status or more. Right now she is far more limited in her mind and in practice by the fact she is not fully accepted into the city.<br/><br/>But there are benefits informally if you were an Elder which Caitiff would you be more supportive of the one that strongly follows the Traditions or the one that doesn't? Seems to me it might give her the edge when she finally requests neonate standing of the Prince much later.
