About:
After the OGL (Open Gaming License) scandal of 2023, Jakin decided to try TTRPGS (Tabletop Roleplaying Games) other than D&D (Dungeons & Dragons). He tried Pathfinder 2e (Second Edition) and even streamed it with his friends. After a few sessions, it was clear the game wasn't for him. He enjoyed being a player, but not running the game. Later that year, he attended GenCon with the OSQ (One Shot Questers) crew and got to play test the Dungeon Coach's DC20. Ever since then, Jakin has been obsessed with game. He quickly convinced all of his current D&D home games to convert to the DC20 system and he hasn't looked back. In this video, Jakin explains the many languages of DC20. He starts with listing the four categories: Mortal, Exotic, Divine, and Outer. He then goes on to explain that all PCs know Common, which is different than the Human language. For the rest of the Mortal languages, there are Dwarvish, Elvish, Halfling, and Gnomish. Next, he explains that the Exotic languages include Giant, Draconic, Orcish, Fey, and Elemental. Next, he explains that the Divine languages include Celestial and Fiendish. Finally, he goes onto explain the one Outer language, Deep Speech.

The algorithm has done me wrong. You have a bunch of DC20 content I haven't seen yet.

I really like the language check because it’s a super easy mechanic that allows DMs to actually utilize languages without having to think of something on the fly or make some complex mechanic in order to give language meaning. I have already and feel confident to use language checks when the time arises for them bc it’s an easy mechanic that I can implement quickly that makes players feel good about their languages.

100% agree! Our next video is going over Mastery, including the Limited and Fluent levels for Language!

One setting rule I use is that Common is a trade language that caps out at 1 point. Anything outside of mercantile speech and very basic requests is going to require a language check.

[@swordplaysorcery]

That's an interesting take on the common rule. I wouldn't mind exploring something like that in my home game!

[@GrandOldDwarf]

@@swordplaysorcery it makes the rest of the languages valuable and something to think about. Basically you can't convey complex things that aren't mercantile in nature without a shared language check - one for you and one for each listener to understand it.
