Once again I turn to you all for a bit of inspiration.
What I'm looking for is cosmetic perks that would logically make sense with Heritages.
Titles are a given.
Spell preps are off limits for now.
One thing in particular I'm looking for is variants on verbs - both replacement messages (Normal person does X but someone of the heritage does Y) and additional options (Normal person can do X, Y and Z, but a member of the Heritage can also do A, B and C. Think Snap for Humans vs non-Humans).
Otherwise - let ideas flow.

Does cosmetic include modifying combat messaging as well, or are we talking strictly fluff verbs?

Depends on what you mean.
The bulk of the combat messaging system is terrifying - nothing involving it is easy nor simple. Honestly anything involving it likely skips right past "non-trivial" "hard" "complex" and lands in "The code nightmares are made of".
However something like "My screams look different from his screams" would be more possible.

Songsworn: Songsworn Sam stretches in practice- But it looks suspiciously like calisthenics rather than simply preparing to play an instrument.

My suggestion is that, within this even if you do have the heritage, you should still be able to go back and forth, just incase someone likes the normal (however I don't think Taleweavers, should be able to grab Lorekeeper things).
Is load and wield weapon considered combat (or is it draw, darn my current inability to get to a computer that can run my character).

In full agreement with this. That's why I think you should need to type in the heritage house after each verb that it alters in order to get the special messaging.

I thought that was what you were getting at, but just in case, I wanted to throw it out.
And also swap [weapon], might be something a songsworn might have something cool for, if you know that isn't a combat change.

I was specifically referring to combat messages, as in the messages you get when you attack/are attacked by something.
The others are potentially possible. I'd have to check some of the code to be sure however.
