Drakes cannot speak while in Drakeform. The book describes dragons as have the same problem, which they overcome with Mindlink. That makes sense for Dragons since they are all considered full mages for purposes of spellcasting, but not all Drakes are mages.
If a pure Adept Drake got the Adept power 'Voice Control', could he then use his adept magic to change his gutteral Dragon noises into understandable English? I know in the case of Sasquatches, they can imitate any noise, but cannot speak. That seems to me to be a situation where their voice is capable of speech, but their brains developed without normal speech centers, making it impossible for them to learn to speak. Dragons seem to have a different problem... they have long necks with animal tongues and throats, which make growling and roaring noises, and which cannot form the sounds needed to speak a human language such as english. Now it seems to me that if a Drake was able to shape the sound of his voice with magic, he could become understandable in Dragon form. Just wondering about the communities opinion on this. |
