[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 7923148, member: 177"] The normal, non-giant, non-swarm beasts typically have an Int of 2 or 3. Meanwhile, Bagheera speaks like this: [I]“Yes, I too was born among men. I had never seen the jungle. They fed me behind bars from an iron pan till one night I felt that I was Bagheera - the Panther - and no man’s plaything, and I broke the silly lock with one blow of my paw and came away; and because I had learned the ways of men, I became more terrible in the jungle than Shere Khan.”[/I] So, while I think you could have a world in which every animal was fully sentient... I do not believe the stock stats in the rules are aimed to be such. I haven't gone and checked every edition. The 5e text says, "You imbue plants within 30 feet of you with limited sentience and animation, giving them the ability to communicate with you and follow your simple commands. You can question plants about events in the spell's area within the past day, gaining information about creatures that have passed, weather, and other circumstances. " [/QUOTE]
