Languages
Languages are used to communicate. Most sentient creatures are proficient in at least one language.
List of Languages
Ask your DM for what langauges are available. Language lists for certain settings can be found in the links below.
Language Proficiency
Being proficient in a language means you can communicate fluently using that language in any of its forms. If the language is spoken, you can speak it; if the language has a writing system, you can read and write it.
Telepathy
Telepathy is the ability to communicate mind-to-mind to another creature. Features that grant telepathy specify how it can be used. There are many variants:
- Some forms of telepathy require sight.
- Some forms of telepathy are one-way, while others allow a creature to respond in kind.
- Some forms of telepathy involve the transmission of images or ideas, while others use words (and thus require the use of a mutually understood language to be useful).
