Baldur's Gate : The Sword Coast Chronicles : NWN2 Persistent World

Banite edition

"Aumarrath!" (contraction of "In memory of Aumarrath!" [Aumarrath the Tyrant-King was an early prophet of Bane, and this oath is polite enough to be used to superior clergy, denoting holy awe or satisfaction, somewhat akin to the real world: "Blood of the Virgin!" or "Name of the God!"])
"Blackfire!" ("Blood of the God!" [used in awe, admiration, or profane amazement, but never when angry or disgusted; is much less formal than "Aumarrath!"])
"Clathenar!" ("Holy crap!" or: "Jesus!" [Clathenar was an unintentional martyr of Bane whose long-ago holy service was one long sequence of disastrous screwups, so this oath is always used like a groan of dismay or spat out in despairing anger, when something has gone seriously wrong]; pronounced 'CLATH-en-ar')
"Embarranar!" (a gloating thanks to Bane for something that's gone well, or a victory, or unlooked-for aid or good fortune, roughly equivalent to a delighted: "Son of a BITCH!" or "Don't that take all!"; pronounced 'Em-bar-RAN-ar')
"Hand of Hate!" ([contraction of the rarely-heard "Feel the Hand of Hate!"] an expression only snarled at foes or victims being slain; rough equivalent of a real-world: "DIE, mother(do-me)er!")
"Holy Fist!" ("Jesus Christ!")
"Krisk!" ("Shit!")
"Lurruk!" ("Bloody hell!" or "Damn!"; pronounced 'LUR-uh-kh')
"Sark!" ("Blast!" or: "(do-me)!")
"Talar!" ("Well, damn!" [a mild expression of surprise or dismay])
"Tondrabbar!" ("To the God!" [a war-cry or exulting expression uttered when an offering is touched aflame or broken, a foe is struck, or an attack is launched (i.e. it would be the first shout of a surprise attack); pronounced 'Tawn-DRAB-bar')
"Whiteblood!" ("Bloody hell!" or "Jesus (do-me) Christ!" [profane shock or disgust])

Anyone got any other race- or class-specific curse words?

I personally like "rock-humper" for dwarves


I have in fact made a long list of (hopefully) server appropriate swear words in the past, to make playing some of my more foul-mouthed characters easier. I'm happy to share! I myself keep them in a table, adjectives left and nouns right - then mix to your heart's desire. Enjoy!

Nouns: And the Adjectives to go with any of those:

//want to give this thread a bump, some good stuff here.

I got a couple for you. Pretty wide range, I draw from mid 1100's to 1700's. most of these are real-world insults which could be applied safely to a fantasy setting such as FR.

Common/Otherwise Potential Swears:

Harpy [I, E] ~ A Foul, ill-tempered, wicked or manipulative Woman

Maggot [I, E] ~ A worm.

Miscreant ~ A Hoodlum or otherwise unsavory or villainous type.

Harlot ~ (germbag).

Ingrate [I, E] ~ An (hero).

(Inbred) Swine ~ Comparing someone to a pig. Frequently used with 'Inbred' for effect, thusly calling someone a foul-blooded swine.

Churl ~ Peasant

Cad ~ A mean or unsavory fellow, a con artist.

Fop/Foppish ~ A pretender, someone who is vain, ostentatious, or otherwise ridiculous.

Dog ~ A morally reprehensible person, occasionally 'dirty' is used as adjective for effect and further insult.

Gadabout ~ A hedonist, or someone who restlessly travels between venues seeking entertainment.

Heathen ~ I think this one should be obvious, but as a refresher.... A faithless or blasphemous person, an uncultured/uncivilized individual.

Ruffain ~ A bully.

Scamp [I] ~ Used to describe a worthless fellow or a roguelike individual.

Infectious [I] ~ A blight on those near them.
