Editing The Exemplars (section)

== '''''	An Exemplar leads only by example.''''' ==

Over time honor bound warriors have earned a reputation as haughty self-righteous proselytizers who smite or scold anyone who violates their personal code. This is not the way of the Exemplar. An Exemplar’s code is only for the Exemplar, and he should be less likely to impose it on others than a non-Exemplar, not more. Petty theft, mind control, corpse looting, and lying are all things that violate the Exemplar code and are all things an Exemplar will probably overlook if witnessed. An Exemplar does not consider his status to grant him any authority over anyone else, and he will only step in to stop an evil if it is directly threatening good. An Exemplar can stand in front of the most evil being in the region and will not strike him if he is merely sitting on his throne drinking.<br><br>
	Should an Exemplar be promoted to a position of authority within a local government, he is to make clear that his authority derives only from his government office and not from his status as an Exemplar. When practical he is to remove any Exemplar symbols while he is on duty in his government office.<br><br>
