So I want to create a beastmaster-style rogue, with Soul Knife and a Shepherd Druid dip. I love the idea of using creatures as a spy network.
Does Psychic Whispers work on animals if I have Speech of the Woods? The wording states that 'a creature can't USE this telepathy if it can't speak any languages', but it doesn't say that the connection can't be established, nor does it say that the caster can't talk to the animals even if they can't respond...so I interpret it as implying that the creatures can hear their master's orders, but must return to him and report via Speech of the Woods. If not, I would expect the wording to say 'this telepathy cannot be used ON a creature that can't speak any languages'.

Is this correct?
Receiving communication is using the telepathy, so animals can’t do it if they don’t speak languages.
