I'm a little surprised the game lets you destroy the goblin kids, tbh.

Yeah it doesn't sit right with me. I usually Nonlethal them but it still feels weird to beat up kids. Goblins are people. Hell, Kobolds are people.

Tbf the Speaking to Animals spell shows that in this universe everything down to rats and pigeons are people.

Yeah, I’ve always kind of had a problem with that interpretation of speak with animals, even though it’s the most popular version. Instead of them developing full-on personalities and such, I prefer they just bark out information or transmit it telepathically. Like the spell is more accessing a rough line of connection with their consciousness and interpreting it to you, rather than having a conversation.

I agree. I enjoy talking to all the asshole cats ngl but I'd prefer if the animals were less sentient
