      Gnomish should be more artificial. Esperanto.

      Esperanto is more like Common. A language that everyone speaks, more or less, can only be something from an imperialist power or a neutral ground created for that.

        In a homebrew setting still in construction, Volapük is the language of a secret society.

                Oh absolutely, Common is always Esperanto in my games with something like its history mapped onto whatever world I’m running. That leaves space for regional languages to be everything else.

                  I don’t think dragons have the soft tissue necessary to pronounce the consonant clusters like Strumpf.

                    i dont know about D&D but in pathfinder basically all dragons can speak a whole bunch of languages, so i’d be surprised if there’s something in a human language they couldn’t pronounce

                                In the game I’m playing, goblins have thick New York accents. If my creepy-ass lizard person dies, I might switch to that, or a Nordic elf with a thick Swedish accent.

                                  fwiw it’s not exactly difficult, it’s just weird english basically. The alphabet is literally just english with different symbols.

                                    The problem wasn’t even Jose, it was your refusal to pick a class.

                                    it could work if they agree to just be underpowered, like they have parts of each class’ standard kit and it mostly doesn’t work well but every now and then they can get some sweet sweet synergy from some abilities and save the day.

                                    And because of this José always feels a bit left out, so he’s always eager to do something useful even if it’s just casting mage light (which is one of the few spells he can wrap his head around).
                                    He’s also just generally a really nice guy and he’s great at mundane things like cooking and he doesn’t complain, so he doesn’t quite realize that his party is being pretty mean and taking advantage of him. But over time the others just can’t help but start considering him a close friend and he becomes a vital part of the team.
