Familiars teach languages

We will file suggestions here that did not make the cut. Don't expect detailed responses, but the most common reasons are:

  • implementing the suggestion is impractical, or too much work for the gain
  • the suggestion is thematically against our design philosophy
  • the suggestion is too detailed/low-level
    Keep your suggestions broad and focused on RP benefits, please, not detailed suggestions of how to fix everything.

Familiars teach languages

Post by Melchizedek14 » Sat Feb 04, 2023 12:05 am

Some familiars speak different languages and you can have them speak in that language by possessing them or using the -a command. Your PC will even make a lore check to understand them, but it does not activate -language learning. Can we get that changed? It makes sense that your pixie familiar could teach you or others Sylvan. That Mephits could teach their language, etc...

Obviously animals can't teach animal languages since that's unlearnable in game and only granted to certain classes.

This is as intended for good reason. It would promote the idea of interacting with yourself, rather than other players to learn a language.

I'm the nice one.. I promise :twisted:
