House Rules - Languages

Language Rules

 These are carried over from Josh's Forgotten Realms campaign. As an established adventurer residing in Waterdeep the assumption is that you have learned additional languages.

  • Your standard languages follow standard 5th Edition rules (bonus languages based on race/class/background).
  • You ALSO automatically get racial and regional automatic languages from the table below.
  • The automatic languages are, well, automatic. The number of bonus languages you get are equal to 1 + int mod (minimum 1) - You choose these from the bonus list.
  • You choose which languages from your known languages that you want to be literate in
