10-09-07, 02:07 PM I'm using Redblade to create a human wizard. Starting INT is 16, giving a modifier of +3. The way I read the "Race and Languages" section on page 12 of the PHB, this character would begin play knowing Common plus three other languages of my choice. Redblade seems to think he should know four other languages (for a total of five). Is this a bug, or am I missing some element of the rules?

You should know Common +3, so I would guess it is a bug of some sort.

perhaps redblade (not even i know it) meant this.

10-09-07, 04:23 PM This sound like a problem with redblade's coding. You should only have common + three bonus languages. The fifth language might be assuming to make the wizard's ability to change a race's bonus language to include draconic.
