Parrotfolk Communication

 

As a creature that lies on the boundary between animal and conventional "person," Parrotfolks have a very different understanding of communication and how to use language. They are proficient in Auran, and will learn to read any language they encounter on a regular basis. However, they tend to prefer communicating through vocalizations similar to those of their non-humanoid parrot ancestors, mixed noises and phrases picked up through the the mimicry skill, with cadences and speech patterns similar to whatever language their community is most familiar with. Only Parrotfolk raised from infancy by adoptive parents that use conventional language tend to speak a language fluently. In addition:

  • For the purposes of understanding and reading, you can become proficient in a new language by listening to and/or observing it for 250 days, or half as long with training. 
  • Parrotfolk are proficient in Insight, and may perform Insight checks on any creature with an Intelligence of 2 or higher, as well as on intelligent creatures.  
  • The spells Speak with Animals and Tongues are both effective on you.
