I just remembered my favorite detail about Vyrian as a dnd character. Which is she spoke 7-10 languages (depending on whether they had the linguist feat yet). I don’t have the sheet I made for her so I can’t verify how many, but I can look at the build they had and see the languages they would have had.
She was a homebrew race that gave them Common, Infernal, and Orc.
Then their background gave them 2 languages, (I think I played her with the Anthropologist background)
And on top of that, she was a cleric of the knowledge domain, which granted 2 languages.
Plus, once she gains a feat, she would take the linguist feat which grants 3 languages.
Not only is that just in part reflective of her interests and what she wants to do with her life, but I also think that it like, made sense because she more or less stopped aging in any noticeable way 100 years ago and has spent that century traveling.
(Yes this is the 7+ ft tall academic that has like a dozen knives on their person)
#honestly a part of dnd I always liked even though ppl never brought it up much usually#was languages#I always liked when like there would be something where like the party comes across something written in another language#and someone can excitedly chime in that they speak that language and can translate for the group#I just like to imagine that dnd has a lot of languages spoken and it’s not just ‘everyone always speaks common’#I also liked fitting players languages into the world. like you know#being like oh player A speaks X language irl we can say that Q fantasy language/dialect is X language#anyways speaking of language in dnd I do enjoy bg3 having Lae’zel available to read Githyanki discs
