[QUOTE="Telgian, post: 1307451, member: 2796"] Does your character know how to read and write? If so, then he can scribble a note to another character. (Or on the ground, with chalk on a surface, etc.) This is dependant on whether the other characters can read, of course. This was how I handled a character that was *pretending* to be mute (but also knew sign language). Since none of the party knew sign language, I would point at my other hand and mimic writing a note on a note pad (along with some scribbling sounds). Then I would show my palm to the player of the character that was to recieve the message, and say out loud what I wanted my character to convey. This worked well until the time I forgot to make my miming gesture and just started talking to an NPC. :( Since the NPC was undead, the other characters immediately assumed that my character was an oathsworn who had sworn never to talk to the living...so it worked out fine in the end. :p Hope that helps some.
