Current state: Right now the lisp tag replaces the letter s with multiple copies of said letter.

Suggested state:
Replace with [ROLLINGLETTER:S:2]
The letter would specify the letter, the number how many duplicates are added.

This allows more breadth in different species speech whilst still allowing for existing use to continue.

[Captain Mayday]

As an addition to this, perhaps a [REPLACELETTER:L:R] style token, which will replace the former letter with the latter, for species who cannot pronounce the former letter.

I would like to take partial credit for this idea (woo, #Bay12Games), and to put my support behind it. It would be quite a neat thing to have.

[ROLLINGLETTER:S:2]

What about adding another part to the token; [ROLLINGLETTER:S:2:4]
The first would be the minimum of added S'ses, the other the maximum.
This way you'll have some variation.

Because that would get pretty ridiculous on double-letters.
LISP already overcompensates on double letters.

Edit: Unless that was accounted for and avoided.

While true, I think this thread has a better idea on how best to go about it.

It could always be set to [ROLLINGLETTER:S:2:2], by those concerned that it would get too excessive.

[liSP] is sort of a stopgap measure, I think, and improving it wouldn't do much in the long run.  Eventually, you should hopefully be able to write your own race-specific dialogue for everyone, which can incorperate stuff like hissing, funny accents, dialects, making weird noises, etc.

I want to make a race of Jägermonster-themed Orcs.  "Hy dere, liddle dorf frendz!  Ve haff brotchu dese enormous hats to trade for your rock mugz!  Dose tings are great for smashing de hedz during bar brawlz!"
