What I find interesting is how seldom characters even have it in their spell-books at all.Bigharahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14232940345429292782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7278070888694275259.post-75526299009000464662012-02-16T13:20:45.765-05:002012-02-16T13:20:45.765-05:00Nice post.

I've often thought of Read Languages as a useful spell after you've got out of the dungeon - deciphering scrolls and books you've looted and maybe inscriptions in the dungeon once the danger has been neutralised. However, when first going into a dungeon the spells that you immediately want to call upon when in trouble are going to be offensive and defensive, and tactical information (Clairvoyance, Wizard Eye or Detect Invisibility). I've always thought of Read Languages as a spell to have written in your spellbook for particular situations when you know you are going to need it, and need it more than a Shield or Magic Missile spell.John Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16945534608747334150noreply@blogger.com
