Spoiler: Beastial

Show

Beastial is a “language” that is known to all animals and beasts. Nature based classed can choose Beastial as one of their languages, although they will be unable to "speak" it just understand it. it is comprised of a combination of grunts snarls, body language, and pheromones. Beastial is not a complex language and as such cannot convey complex ideas. Beastial has no written form ans as such they are illiterate.

While I like the concept, I think it's a little weird, with this race you seem to have added a complete new language that is actually at first glance powerful, because it is known to all animals, druids, and rangers, meaning that they can communicate without speak to animals (or whatever the spell is, im afb at the moment). And then there's the fact that they have 6 limbs, how does this interact with shield holding, spellcasting, weapon wielding (2 two handed weapons?), climbing, number of attacks?

its not mean to convey complex stuff just basics. and non beasts can't "speak" it just understand it

yeah i thought that would be a problem but i wasn't sure on how to write all that down.

I do believe there are already rules in place for possessing more than two arms. I know that the Marilith demon has four arms, as does the Girallion, and the Multiweapon Fighting feat chain exists.

A quick Googling brought this up, which I think adequately explains it.

I am not a big fan of creating more languages except racial languages. Animals and Magical Beasts with Int of 2 or less probably aren't good conversationalists and I'm not a fan of it overshadowing the speak with animals spell.

Besides, if "drundar dogs have no use for words and as such no use for names," why do they talk at all?

BTW, it's "girallon." see here: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/monsters/girallon.htm

Its not mean to really be a language. I just needed some way for them to communicate as they cant speak very well. Beastial is more of how wolves and other animal are able to convey intent with out the need for speech.

If a creature cannot speak, that doesn't mean it can't understand a language.
