[QUOTE="Tussin, post: 6768429, member: 6805364"] awesome, in a related question, i want to be a Scholar in effect... what races would complement it the most you feel? to be a master linguist? and if so are any of these racials duplicate-able by feats or anything else i can pickup later? Kenku - Mimicry: You can imitate sounds and voices you have heard, even sounds that cannot normally be made by humanoids. Each time you attempt to mimic a sound, you must succeed on a Bluff check to fool those who hear the sound into believing it is genuine. Kalashtar - Telepathy 5: You can communicate with any other creature that has a language and is within line of sight and within 5 squares of you; this allows for two-way communication Shardmind - Telepathy: You can communicate telepathically with any creature within 5 squares of you that has a language. Pixie - Speak with Beasts: You can communicate with natural beasts and fey beasts. Hengeyokai - Language of Beasts: While you are in animal or hybrid form, you can communicate with any natural or fey beasts that share your animal form or a form that is closely related (for example, a dog hengeyokai can communicate with a wolf). In human form, you can understand these beasts but cannot directly communicate with them. You can communicate simple concepts and commands to such creatures, but they are under no compulsion to obey you, and their knowledge is restricted by their experience and mobility. Beasts you talk to are not necessarily friendly; your DM may require skill checks to influence their attitude. Changeling - Shapechanger: You have the shapechanger subtype; you can alter your appearance. As such, you are subject to effects and conditions that affect shapechangers. (the ability to look like a race that speaks anything is more flavor then an effect?) [/QUOTE]
