[QUOTE="orcmonk220, post: 3286297, member: 49104"] Hi I've been thinking of adding a few new languages to my campaigns. I was wondering if anybody had any to suggest. So far, here is what I have: [b]Sign Language:[/b] Useful for times when verbal communication is not an option, and for when the [i]Silence[/i] spell arrives, it could be a useful was for a party to communicate, if everyone knows it. [b]Halfling Slang:[/b] This can only be learnt by Halflings, or if a halfling teaches it to a character (requires a DC 20 Intelligence check). It is comprised of sentences with seemingly random words thrown into it, but does make sense to anyone who knows the language. When used on a Bluff check against anyone who does not understand it, it grants a +2 bonus to the check. [b]Bird Calls:[/b] A bonus language for Druids and Rangers, which is added to their list of bonus languages, this is a series of whistles and other sounds. Using it grants a +2 bonus to Handle Animal checks when used on birds. If you can think of any more, I'd love to hear them. Chris [/QUOTE]
