For reference, I’ve included the current, untargeted version of each style.
DISDAIN You stare around the room, a haughty expression on your face.
You stare at <target> with a haughty expression.DISDAIN GAZE You gaze around the room, a haughty expression on your face.
You settle your gaze on <target> with a haughty look of disdain.DISDAIN GLANCE You glance around the room, running a finger up and over the point of your ear, purposely trying to draw attention
to it.
You glance in <target>’s direction, running a finger up and over the point of your ear.DISDAIN GLARE You stare around the room, one eyebrow arched in an arrogant, but quizzical, expression.
You arch your brow at <target> with an arrogant, but quizzical, expression.DISDAIN STARE You stare down your nose, haughtily surveying the room.
You haughtily stare down your nose at <target>.DISDAIN BLANK You stare blankly around the room, your face utterly devoid of emotion.
You stare at <target> blankly, your face utterly devoid of emotion.I know that I, for one, would get a lot more use out of the verb.
– Teveriel, Player of.
Agreed many times over.
Also, aside from disdain blank, I can never remember which one is which, and there’s no VERB INFO. DISDAIN, DISDAIN STARE, and DISDAIN GAZE are essentially interchangeable, while DISDAIN GLANCE has me playing with my ear for some reason?
So I generally just use DISDAIN and DISDAIN BLANK and ignore the rest because I’m worried I’ll do The Weird Ear Thing or Dwayne “The Rock Elf” Johnson by mistake.
