Can be used, then, surely. After all, it's setting-appropiate even.

Not bonus tips, but a video about swearing. Quite interesting.

Personally, I wish it wasn't PG 13 (I don't even think it reaches the height of 13 in most of the world) but the list is quite entertaining! :D

Thanks, Hoihe!
That's some deep sh*t food for thought.

Talas used it the other day to the amusement of his companions, it is a dwarven expression for surprise/shock/indignation that I adapted to most my characters. Dwarfs (or dwarves) say it as "Haela's silvery nipple rings!"

(also posting here to check if this complies with the PG13)

I'm not even sure where anyone got the idea from that she got that kind of ornaments! :oops:


... personally, I think "By Haela's beard!" would be far more hilarious, as most uninitiated in dwarven lore, won't know she's a woman. Could create some hilarious conversation topics :lol:

I'm uncertain about the PG13 ruling about that one, but if a DM says it's allowed I'll add it to the list.

Plenty of people like making remarks about Tymora's certain assets as an exclamation :lol:

"By Sune's undergarments" is one I heared mentioned from a voicepack, still wondering what precisely it is swearing to.

I like this thread and it brings up a good soultion to this problem -- any chance this can be sticky? Some good examples here and a good guide for swearing in BG.

Props to you for writing this out!
