Wow, okay

Ah, Alas having 1 level in Wizard means that enlarge person last 1 minute.

@BESW Thanks :)

Ahem. Paper. :)

oh, and to add to point 2. Secret languages of privilege also provide selective advantage

@BrianBallsun-Stanton How is it RPG? Isn't it pretty much just linguistics and biology?

easy indication of caste, protection of advnantage knowledge

Cat

Good point.

@BESW talk about simulation applications in trivial sense.

Q: Are the Fighting Fantasy gamebooks and contents on- or off-topic?

7:38 PM

@Novian Find out next week in the exciting conclusion!

The Oracle

7:50 PM

They're basically solo campaigns with the book acting as a DM, as I see it. However, you could argue that they're not, I guess.

I was wondering... what if I used some hard form of mind reading on a D&D Druid? Could I learn Druidic?

@Zachiel I'm sure there is a Psychic talent that lets you pick up a skill someone else knows

If it's 3.5 Druidic is actually Language: Druidic

you can't take it with Speak Language

you can only get it as a class feature

@Zachiel Which edition?

3.5

7:55 PM

In that case the Talent would need to read 'Emulate a class feature'
