s it wrong for a druid to roleplaythat his animal companion can speak by the time he is ale to cast this spell on his companion?
Pixies and imps can talk. Other familiars cannot.
Creature familiars (panthers, rats, whatever) are still animals and can "communicate" to the same degree as animals can.They cannot, however, speak in common or some other "language".Keep in mind that the Ear for the Animal Language is not so much a language as it is a common means of communication with animals. People who have entire conversations in Animal kind of misses the point of the thing. Animals, with very few exceptions, lack the intelligence to form full thoughts and sentences with perfect grammar.
Not to get dematerialised by the gms here, but when Rain comunicate with his pseudodargon, it speaks back to him. I know its the engine of NWN and how they set it, but there is multyple options, like play for isntance, where you would get your familiar sing rhymes or play riddle with you. all of those who are within talking distance to me would also "hear" this.
