    Exclamations !
    « on: August 04, 2005, 12:12:00 AM »
    I know there is no swearing.

    I was wondering about acceptable exclamations.

    wether innocious exclamations like "Bloomin" (shortening of Blooming) used instead of other possibly more insensitive words. (though blooming could be a nature based exclamation I guess)

    or faith based exclamations "By the great hammer of Dorand!" with one or more exclamation marks depending on how loudly your character says it ;)

    Other more creative exclamations involving noctorious villians and creatures, "By the blackend wings of the great wyrm of (insert location here)"

    Just wondering as, if I remember rightly, the Curse voice emote of one of the male voice sets says "By the Hells" so I was wondering where the line between exclamation and swearing is? Not something to stuff up and have a DM jump up and down on you I think.

    I haven't found any list of common use faith based exclamations yet but there are a _lot_ of posts So i'll keep searching ;)

    If people think about it first I am sure they will know when they are using words/phrases that might be offensive towards other players. Basically it is like in real life, where you also have a pretty good idea about when you are hurting the feelings of other people or offending them personally.
    The exclamations you have posted seem to be very fine. I cannot see what should be offensive by using BY THE HELLS! either. Use terms and phrases fitting to the world and situation you are in, not necessarily things you would ever use in real life.
    I do not know if that is what you were looking for, but that is what I do.  :)

    Acacea collects colorful curses. She has fun with those.

    If you're really worried, you're probably not in danger.  :)

    I don't see anything wrong with the examples were given by anybody in this thread.
