Speaking Abyssal inherently evil?

[iblis]

I tend to treat Abyssal and Infernal a bit like (but not exactly like) the language of Mordor.

So, it's dangerous to go speaking it too often, or too loudly, or in the wrong places & times etc.

But evil? No.

That's how I treat it, most often.

Not unless speaking Ignan can set things on fire...

[The above in response to the "Demons are made of pure evil, so their language is too" argument -- "Fire elementals are made of pure fire, so their language is too?"]

Anyhow, by the rules there is nothing mechanical that happens if you speak Abyssal, so a Paladin could speak Abyssal 24/7 forever without any chance of a loss in status. If you want to make a house rule, that is your perogative, of course, but warn your players first!

Someone wrote up a set of feats for each of the elemental and outsider languages that had magical effects. I'm not completely sure about balance, but here it is: http://www.diamondthrone.com/displaycontent.cfm?iCatId=4&iConID=282
