* In ''Franchise/TheWitcher'' series, Geralt will often bring up the Witcher Code when he refuses a job or stays neutral in any given conflict. That said, he's never very forthcoming about what the code says or why it prevents him from getting involved in that instance. It turns out that [[spoiler:there is no formal Witchers code. There are some general guidelines, like the basics of what Witcher are supposed to do as well as keeping Witcher secrets safe, but that's it. Geralt admits that invoking the "Witchers Code" is just a good way to get people to stop bugging him about things.]] Of course each Witchers can also come up with their own rules for what they will or won't do, like how Geralt won't take contracts to hunt down anything intelligent.

** The ''Monarchies of Mau'' spin-off, which covers cats in the setting, reveals the cats have their own code of honor, the Precepts of Mau. Contrasting the dog approach of one big code that dogs can find some parts not important, there are only four common precepts[[note]]"Always trust your instincts. Always pounce upon the minions of the Unseen. Always reward loyalty. Always respect an honest duel."[[/note]], but cat noble houses have their own additional Precepts (such as "Always push boundaries.").

* The Bro Code from ''Series/HowIMetYourMother''.


Added DiffLines:

* ''Series/TheHexer'': In the books, there was no actual witcher code, although Geralt made up a code of his own. In the series, witchers have a code that allows them only to fight in an "honorable" way ([[HonorBeforeReason even against monsters]]). However, there are numerous hints throughout the series the code is a mere ''excuse'' used by elders to control the guild, trainees, shape interactions with humans and abuse their own power, with no actual set rules. Thus mirroring Geralt's personal "code" from the books in basic function, but with sinister intent behind it.

* ''Literature/CradleSeries'': To a [[SupernaturalMartialArts sacred artist]], reputation and honor are everything. An artist [[IGaveMyWord keeps his word]], respects and serves his clan or school, and honors those above him in rank. He also doesn't kill his juniors, but that's a much less important rule, so the weak had ''better'' treat the strong with respect. As Eithan explains, this system is the only thing keeping a world full of overpowered psychopaths from complete anarchy. The main characters stand out as pretty much the only people who say "maybe I don't want to murder everyone I meet, held back only by threats from the stronger."

* The Aslan ''Fteir'' code in ''TabletopGame/{{Traveller}}''. The exact tenets depend on which clan you're part of, but they're important enough that ''Fteirle'' ("those who live by ''Fteir''") is what Aslan call themselves.
