I should be able to tell/say and remain kneeling.


Enough said.

Also, there should be a command to let you check what pose you're in.

You should be able to if you actually type in SAY and TELL. At least, I think so. Ought to work like teleporting, gate weaving/unraveling, etc.

STAT should show your pose, like it does in Imperian.

odd, I was sitting, I then kneeled, I then said hi getting the you stand up andmesage, I then tried to sit, and it said you must first be standing to do that.

Yeah, kneeling seriously needs to get looked over. You can't do practically anything without triggering the stand up thingie. Kneeling should be similar to being sprawled on the floor...

Agreed. Kind of spoils those Cathedral oaths people that want to join Celest have to take too...

Seems like you can emote and say without the kneel making you stand up automatically

Your eyes sparkle with amusement.

So, yes, you can use the EMOTE command, BUT nothing else. I find it disturbing that your eyes can't sparkle with amusement while kneeling.

Just do emote eyes sparkle with amusement, its not to much of a difference.

You'd be missing the possessive, which really bothers me. I've never yet been able to have Veyda's eye sparkle or twinkle BECAUSE of that dropped possessive.

Not to mention EMOTEing inserts your title (which just bothers me).

You can still do it... you just need to have a 's as the very first bit of your emote. So "EMOTE 's eye twitches involuntarily" will do "Veyda One-Eye 's eye twitches involuntarily." The extra space is kind of annoying, but at least it's possible.

You can always restructure the sentence to get around the possessive, adding some other action. For instance sparkle ("Your eyes sparkle with amusement.") becomes "EMOTE inclines her head to admire the statue of Merenthon, her eyes sparkling with amusement"
