I added the Kobold Race from Races of the Dragon. In creating a character with 16 INT, I select the languages that are available and then close the tab. Here is the issue: It knows that I have left over selections from my INT, but the race has no more languages to learn. The program still shows an error that I haven't selected enough language. In the bottom corner it shows Language Error. When I go in to the language selections I see Other Language option. Can this be turned off?
Automatic Language: Draconic Starting Languages: Common, Draconic, Undercommon. If I have an high starting INT, I can have learn more languages than available. Chris Bradshaw |

That way, the validation stops complaining and you never forget that you're entitled to the new language slot - as soon as you have an opportunity to actually learn a new one. :-) |

Actually, I think the question is more:
What are you supposed to do if your INT bonus entitles you to more languages than your race has bonus selections? I can't find an answer in my PHB, and I think the fact that HL essentially produces a validation error in this case should be fixed in some way. |

I am not asking for a clarification of the rules. I am asking what to do to get HL to function correctly. If anything it may just be a bug. As to picking other and filling in unassigned, I really dont want to have generic placeholders. For the moment I have moved passed this by using the stats for kobold from the slayer's guide. It gives them several bonus languages so this problem does not apply.
Rob, Colen, if you see this check into what I described. HL should not have language: other as an option for starting languages. Or it should see when you have selected all options available to you. Could be as simple as a checkbox that says "No further languages to start." Chris Bradshaw |

We need the "Other" language as a way to let people enter their own custom language, but we'll be adding a "No more, don't bug me" option that'll stop the validation error from appearing. -- Colen McAlister, colen@wolflair.com Chief Engineer, Lone Wolf Development |
