So I was just wondering how to determine if PCs can communicate with a creature.
Each creature has a list of languages it can speak, but what if the PCs don't have any of these in common? The player's handbook says that many languages are just different accents of the same language, but it doesn't list which languages belong to the same accent except for the example of elemental languages.
Any clue?
For example I'm wondering if PCs can understand undercommon. Is that just a different accent of common? Or a completely different language? It seems strange to me that underdark creatures (which don't speak common) couldn't communicate which creature of the surface at all.
Anyone can point me where it's defined which languages are just different accents from each other?
