I miss Caduceus. He's such a comforting presence.

I'm hoping he goes back and asks the trees name after he got an item that allows them to talk back.

So I have a question. Does Matt know about the Firbolg ability to talk to nature, or does he think this is just what Caduceus do?

[@newsance2u]

Matt knows they just can't talk back however Taliesan recently got a item he can use if he wants them too

[@rayswift5711]

It's funny if he knows and just shut him down every time for the lolz

Im so happy to know that in the beginning he was just fucking with them

[@JeshieWafflez]

I wish Matt knew how 'Speech of Beast and Leaf' genuinely worked in campaign 2, 'cause it would've made Taliesin's roleplay and ability that much better. Effect: You have the ability to communicate in a limited manner with beasts and plants. What's that limited manner? They can understand the meaning of EVERYTHING you say to them, no matter what language you speak in, but you can't understand them in return without some sort of spell. AND you have advantage on all Charisma checks you make to influence them. Throughout the campaign any time Taliesin tried to communicate to beasts or plants that would WITHOUT A DOUBT have him make a Charisma check - it was down played by Matt (not on purpose). Rarely was any charisma check given, and no charisma check WITH ADVANTAGE was ever made anytime he attempted it. But it was still a great campaign, and a great character. I forget a lot of my PCs abilities too, and usually leave it up to them to remember - but I also re-read everything every now and again to make sure they're not missing anything. Matt's a phenomenal DM, I'm just very observant. Love the guy, not trying to come off as harsh. xD

[@JeshieWafflez]

@Professor Thinker Calm down you 12 year old, and read what I said: "Rarely was any charisma check given, and no charisma check WITH ADVANTAGE was ever made anytime he attempted it." You're a noob.
