[QUOTE="Algolei, post: 1879340, member: 1073"] I once played a character who could not speak the Common language, and no one in the group could communicate with him. But I was also taking Norwegian language lessons at the time, so I spoke really bad Norwegian when I was in character, and put my fingers in my ears and hummed annoyingly when other PCs tried communicating with mine. It was lots of fun at first, but eventually it became EXTREMELY tedious...and then I learned Common as fast as I could. In another game (where we had rules for Advantages and Disadvantages) someone ran a character who was a mute--and also "hideous" and "a wanderer." That character could understand us, though. But the player wasn't allowed to speak. :) Some good times were had at his expense. "Hey, bring the Hideous Wandering Mute over here for a minute, I can't get this door open!" Hee hee hee...! The character had a name, but we never heard it or cared what it was. [/QUOTE]
