Sign Language

You are able to communicate non-verbally using hand gestures. This language is common across Exandria. This language has certain abilities and restrictions:

• Sign language can be read at up to 1/2 a creature's current vision range.
• You must have at least one hand free to sign with.
• You must use an action or a bonus action to use Sign Language when in combat, unless you are using it as a verbal component of a spell.
• If you use Sign Language for the verbal component of a spell, and the spell also has a somatic component, you must use an additional action or bonus action to cast the spell in one turn. Otherwise, the spell will take an additional turn to cast. Using Sign Language as the verbal component of your spell allows you to cast the spell silently.
• You must be visible to the creature you are communicating with.
• Sign language is not effected by silence.
• You may use Sign Language to communicate when using stealth, provided your target is aware of your location, in range, and desires to communicate.
• You cannot use Sign Language if your hands are bound or covered.
• You may use Sign Language underwater, provided the target can see you clearly.
