If I was inclined to go beyond the 1 rank per language approach, I would do something along these lines. In a game where skill points are as important as they are in 3e, spending upwards of 10 points for a language is rarely, if ever going to happen. With your system some points can be granted...

As an alternative, you could only let specialist take the feat and the spell has to be from their specialized school of magic. This would bring it back in line sorcerer feat.

I was just showing what I thought was a great alternative to the traditional thrown spear. This I would consider allowing as it would not be near as awkward as trying to throw a spear two-handed.

Being imprisoned does not justify murder.

You are correct, they typically thrown with one hand. With that in mind if you watch the Viking vs Samurai episode of Deadliest Warrior they do a demonstration of how the Vikings used to throw two spears at once. Viking vs Samurai

This is well stated and along the lines of what I was going to say but was at work and couldn't put that much into it at the time. Even ignoring everything else, the dragonborn has now done an unquestionably evil act by killing someone that was unconcious, helpless and posed no threat to...

The character may not be an "evil" but the act in and of itself is evil. There were numerous ways to handle the situation without killing the man. But just to make sure, the dragonborn used his breath weapon reducing the remains to a pool of aicdic goo. Evil is often a downward spiral.

You could have dropped him off far enough away from town for you to get there, complete your business, and get out. You could have tied him up and just held him prisoner until everything was done. You could have knocked him unconscious and left him on the side of the road with a days worth of...

One question I am surprised no one has asked yet of the OP; What if the halfling was not telling the truth? After all, if the hobgoblins where slave traders wouldn't they have tried to capture the players as well instead of running? To the guy that robbed and killed everyone for the shipment...

With my statement I was not clear. I agree, and I don't allow it in my game but if a DM were to allow, it would not be game breaking.

This is the correct translation of it. It does not allow it. However, as many have said, if your DM chooses to allow it, it is not overtly overpowered.

Ok you lost me on how you reached that conclusion. Consider each a different entity but only take the lower common denominator. In your example, 10 fire resist.

His character would not willingly abandon his companions. I like the breath weapon on the bridge. I had considered a BBEG and not sure why I did not think of it this way. Maybe just distracted at work and what-not.
