Hello, AGAIN. Some real genius chose to destroy my previous thread on this issue. If Paizo does not want to know what errors are made in the system, there's something wrong.
These things are minor, but worth mentioning:
Halflings and Half-Orcs have a choice to pick Abyssal as a bonus language. How come? Seems like an odd choice.
Half-elves and humans can pick any bonus language. At the current way it is written, this would include druidic. I'm guessing this is an oversight.
Nothing more on bonus languages this time. Thank you.

Chill with the aggro for a sec... These boards do weird things sometimes--posts will temporarily disappear, appear in the wrong thread, etc. There's no rhyme nor reason to it, no one is removing or destroying threads or posts (unless that actually announce that they are doing so). Have a little patience and always remember to either select and copy your post before posting it or to write your posts in a text editor/word processor just to make sure a long-winded post doesn't get eaten by the boards.

Agreed, and agreed.

True, true. I apologise for that. Maybe I lost it somewhere, hard to keep track. Now I didn't even remember being that hostile, eh, wonders of adrenaline.

I recall seeing a similar thread (it might have been your previous one) and there was a reply that explained the halflings, at least. It has something to do with the actual Pathfinder game world and the halfling history on it. Sorry I can't be of more help, but my recollection of it is a bit hazy. Hopefully someone better versed than me can shed more light on the subject.

Yeah, Halflings get it due to the large number of them enslaved in Cheliax, a nation that treats with devils.
Half-orcs? Don't know. It may tie in to them being raised largely in orcish communities, at least where their other options are to be raised by the Shoanti tribes. And the Shoanti traditionally aren't too fond of half-orcs born of themselves and their orcish neighbors.
I can't remember if it was stated in the books or here, but it seems the orcs of the Cinderlands actually go out of their way to sire half-orcs because they tend to be smarter and are beneficial to the tribe.

I expected the reason for Abyssal to be with flavor. I'm not very familiar with the Pathfinder world, as I was merely introduced to the series when the open playtesting appeared.
My previous thread was lost in there somewhere, but I guess that's sufficient for now.
It's a minor thing, but it's better to remind that Druidic (and other secret languages) shouldn't be available as bonus languages.
