Doesn't have to be. But Ulzoth liked to hurt, anger, fluster, confuse, incite hatred and rage with words if he could. Your character doesn't have to say a thing. Could be mute. Up to you.

What is the difference between the following statements, from Ulzoth to Aemelius:
A) "You enjoy seeing the spray of blood as you swing your axe, as it tears into my flesh, don't you? I know I do."
B) "I'm impressed by how quickly and how much of my armors you are able to strip from the dead body. Teach me how you do it?"

Follow-up question, What makes one OOC and the other not?

By the way, it wasn't a game mechanics question. I wasn't expecting you to respond with "type: g all corpse;put all girdle;g all corpse". THAT would be OOC. Quite frankly, I'm failing to see what makes it OOC. I'm picturing a giant leaning over a dead body and jerking everything off, basically robbing it, stuffing things in huge bags across his back, balancing cloaks and robes on his huge shoulders, and going back for the undergarments too. The equipment doesn't magically appear on you. It isn't just number crunching, just some combination of dex and strength that determines how much loot you get. The question was about the action your character was taking. If Ulzoth asked about how quickly Aemelius swung his mace, it isn't OOC talk about fourth attack and dual wield, it is talk about the motions and actions of your character.

For a moment, stop saying "Because you as a player don't like full looting, it is OOC to talk about taking everything from a corpse" and explain to me why talking about taking everything from a corpse is OOC.
