Drow Sign Language
Drow Sign Language
I was wondering if this would be hard to code to add a little more flavour to Drow RP. Especially when dealing with none drow
Re: Drow Sign Language
Seems like it would be a lot along the same lines as Thieves Cant.

Re: Drow Sign Language
Well to be fair, maybe we should first have Drow as it's own languages since it is neither quite elven nor darkspeak (undercommon.)

Re: Drow Sign Language
Maybe we could just give thieves cant to all noble drow or tier breche graduates?

Nope, thieves cant is not it.
I agree that drow and drow sign should be added.

Re: Drow Sign Language
I suggested dividing Darkspeech into two languages and giving Drow a cant a while ago, but I think it just came down to not too many people caring about the nuances of the languages.
Anyways, I'm still for this. I've always had a peeve about Undercommon and Drow being a combined language.

I post here because I don't want to open a new thread for something that has already been proposed.
In my opinion the lack of a drow sign language is the only flaw in an otherwise *perfect* and absolutely awesome drow setting.
For the record I have seen a character signing with smotes, but still, I think that a real drow sign language would be a great addition to the drow rp.
In my opinion:
-It should be a new independent language
-It should have the mechanics of the thieves cant
-Its teachers should not be easily accessible to non-drow characters, especially its high-level teachers.
