wait...I understand knowing the languages, I'm not questioning his intelligence or anything....but didn't talk? What about can't? He isn't exactly equipped to speak like a normal human could...what with no lips or anything....and Druidic and Sylvan at least are languages spoken by cratures with human-like anatomy (Druidic is for humanoid druids...Sylvan for fairies, which have lips)

I'm just curious, because I would really like to see someone explain this away....and I'm betting that the first thing to be used will be something like "He's awakened and the speech is a magickal effect" or whatever....

The Awaken spell bestows the ability of speech, as well as the Int modifier of the caster's known languages on the recipient.

I mean, if you want to run it that the penguin can't vocalize in anything but avian, that's fine. He still has his telepathic mindlink and the ability to understand spoken languages.

I understood the whole mindlink and stuff...I was actually getting into the "vocalizing" the language part...which is what it sounded like the case was

But hey,,,if its a magickal effect...then I'm not arguing anymore...I can't really win when someone brings up the "It's magic, don't question it" argument in a Fantasy RPG...
