In the paper we present a formal system motivated by a specific methodology of creating norms. According to the methodology, a norm- giver before establishing a set of norms should create a picture of the agent by creating his repertoire of actions. Then, knowing what the agent can do in particular situations, the norm-giver regulates these actions by assigning deontic qualifications to each of them. The set of norms created for each situation should respect (1) generally valid deontic principles being the the- ses of our logic and (2) facts from the ontology of action whose relevance for the systems of norms we postulate.
