I've always felt it odd that warcry for atheist/agnostic characters calls on "Creator", as that doesn't really apply to such positions (an unknown creator being is a deist position). I've got no desire to break RP every time I warcry, and on the same token I've got no desire to not use a very useful skill. Unfortunately, the best that I can come up with right now to replace the line is something like "Onward, to battle!", and that sucks. So, ideas on a new warcry line? Anyone?

Well, an Agnostic usually believes in some form of a higher power, which may even include his parents......
But, perhaps, atheist/agnostics could apply for their own warcry like ninjas can get an alias for their assassinate.
"Evolve me next!"
"Chemical chance, chemical chance!"
First, I'm pretty sure FL hasn't had a Darwin yet, so there's no evolutionary theory in it. ![]()
Second, an agnostic can actually be a theist or an atheist... neither agnosticism nor gnosticism actually answer the question "Do you believe in a deity?", but instead answer "Do you think we have real knowledge of deities?" It's a related, but definitely different question. FL's agnostics, of course, do not reflect this... FL's agnostics are more apatheists, who just don't care if a deity exists or not.
Third, I'm not looking for custom warcries... just to get these two changed as I think that currently they reflect a coded RP breach (especially for the atheists).
Agnostic: "When in doubt, see if it bleeds!"
Atheist: "I be-liiiiieve in your ability to decompose!"
Atheist: "Inertia, bless me with impact force extraordinaire!"
Or something along those lines was what I had in mind.
"Live for nothing or die for something!"
Rambo said it. I asked him if we could use it. He said, "Eyh, ya-know eyh?" I just nodded like I understood.
That Rambo one's along the lines I was thinking, though I think it'd be best to avoid movie quotes...
Cry 'Havoc', and let slip the dogs of war!
...and literature quotes...
"The day is mine, Trebek!"
And SNL quotes...
"Bring me all your finest meats and cheeses!"
Okay, guys, I was seriously looking for input here on this. Please, something constructive would be nice.
sigh There goes all the Evil Dead quotes I was thinking of. ![]()
"Bring me all your finest meats and cheeses!"
The Herald warrior should use this one.
"My Mom says I'm special!"
But in all seriousness, maybe it should be racially modified as well? I can't rightfully see a fire giant getting motivated by the same line as an Elf. FG warrior yells, "Kill them all!" Elf warrior yells, "Let victory lay it's grace upon me!" FG warrior stops, sighs, and says, "Seriously, man? That gets you going?" Elf Warrior says, "Yeah? What's wrong with it?" FG warrior says, "Look, your whole race's sexual ambiguity is really turning into a metro thing as of late." Elf Warrior says, "What's wrong with Metro? I just like pretty things..." FG warrior says, "Fag." Elf warrior yells, "Help! FG Warrior kicked dirt in my eyes!"

On another note, he's my submission:
Atheist warriors yells 'Yippie-ki-yay...'
L-A
I have to agree, I think agnostic/atheist warcries should be changed. But then if we get custom warcries that wont matter anymore
For an agnostic warcry I always figured that sometime on the lines of "I won't give in!" would be suffice.
