Rangers have a very limited set of sign language. I don't know that there's a comprehensive list of them, but check them out using the 'sign' verb.

Also, I can shoot bees.

When Mozz took his year of silence it took a little work but I had a stylus and a book he'd jote notes in to show to people. I believe companion slates can support this a little better now.

Caelumia whispers to Amelilu, "OOC: that would be awesome. I'd get cael a sorcery brand on her butt or something."
Amelilu whispers to Caelumia, "OOC: HAHA."

Yup, head up to Langen and see the folks in the shed or lean-to, forget just right now. I think slates are still 5 gold but not sure. Use of the slates have helped 3 folks I know of in their muted or mutilated state. Just can't write very long messages. Oh yeah and they come in different colors but for some odd reason I didn't know this so I BUY SLATE and I always got a pink one! And I hate pink! And then I saw someone with a black slate and so got different colors...anyone want 6 or so pink slates from my vault?
So a warning, specify color. Unless of course you want pink.

Be aware if you play a mute, and worried about being 100% consistant there are a surprisingly number of actions that you wouldn't think about that involve saying something.

Lockpicking (for example) use to have you mutter a curse when you broke a pick, though not sure it still does.

Many spell preps use verbal messages, I know part of what let me do it with Mozz was when we got the new preps even if I had to use that terrible one about licking your finger ::shudders:: I hated it before, and hate it more now but it was the only non verbal one I had access too.

I wasn't originally even considering RPing a mute, but the incident made me think of it. Ya know, roll with the circumstances of what your character would do if x happens. I actually logged out to ponder the situation. Do I want to take a stab at it? Would my character go to an Empath to fix the problem? Would she figure 'c'est la vie'?(though not in french because it doesn't exist). Even going to Hanryu about the problem opened up a few funny moments. My character isn't really all that social, so the lack of speech doesn't effect her too much.

Two questions though:
1. Why the RT on ACT when you have no tongue?
2. What kind of wound is it? I healed of the external one, so I'm assuming it's some sort of internal wound or scarring, or both.

Of course going to the Empath guild to get it fixed opens up a few funny moments. And frustrating ones. A lot of the time the Empaths are too busy woolgathering to hear someone ask for healing, much less see someone flailing thier arms about and gesturing to the missing tongue.

It would be sort of neat to have a verb for sticking out the stub of my tongue. Disgusting, but neat.

>Why the RT on ACT when you have no tongue?

Because what normally happens is this:

>say Ouch my tongue!
But you have no tongue!
>act Ouch my tongue!
(Lameplayer Ouch my tongue!)

Basically, people use it to circumvent their inability to speak.

You could always roleplay a mute that has a tongue.

HAH! Can't circle because I can't ASK. That solves that one.

In that case, feel free to employ the OOC verb. We tend to only proactively ask about bleeders unless we're already familiar with your act, so if you ask for a heal and don't speak up about wanting to keep things you're not going to get a very warm reception if you then throw a fit about it (that said, we also tend to pause up front so you have a chance to type in a response).

DISCLAIMER: THIS POSTER IS NOT A MEMBER OF STAFF AND HIS INFORMATION IS/MIGHT BE WRONG.

actually, my missing tongue wasn't a bleeding wound, unless I'm misunderstanding you. Don't know about the OOC verb while having a missing tongue. Can't even whisper, so I wasn't thinking that way. It's all good though. Just had to get the attention of an empath that wasn't surrounded by a billion other things to do.

The name rings a bell. At any rate, I got my tongue healed. Don't think being a mute, accidentally or purposefully, is in the cards for my character as of this time. Maybe sometime in the future when she doesn't need so much training. And if she does go mute, it won't be because her tongue was cut out (well, by her own hand that is). The RT on seemingly unrelated actions drives me crazy.
