May 03, 2009 21:01:29 As the party's social leader I have taken Linguist in addition to common + 1 other that I normally start with and the addition language from a PHB2 background.

So I'm starting with
Common
Elven
Dwarven

At this point I'm adding 3 more languages in the hopes of being able to talk to most everyone. This campaign is lower level and I don't expect to travel to any planes anytime soon.

For the other 3 I'm thinking
Draconic
Goblin
Giant

Do you think I should do Supernal or something different in place of any of these?

It's my understanding PCs can't learn Supernal. Considering that spoken Supernal always appears to be the native language of the listener, being able to speak it would kind of make every other language redundant, at least on the spoken side.
