Steelwind 05-20-07, 07:16 AM	Yes
Derreek 05-21-07, 02:53 PM	gah...too many rules lawyers saying that they can speak to all living creatures but not understand...Is there somewhere to find that more clearly?
Lord Karsus 05-22-07, 12:25 AM	-This really belongs in th D&D General section, since this really has nothing to do with the Realms. -Anyway, the description of the ability only says 'speak'. It says nothing about understanding. So...
