Languages of Undermountain
I've been planning for the session zero that I'll eventually hold at the start of this campaign, and one thing I want to give my players some guidance about is what languages would be useful for their characters to know. I skimmed through the book and made this chart. I'm sure I've made some mistakes or omissions, so feel free to correct me. The ratings are just my own judgement, I'd appreciate other opinions as well.
