Abstalar Zantus's Languages

[MTA]

I might be blind, but I can't locate Father Zantus's known languages. I need to know if he understands Elvish as my players just spoke behind his back. : )

If it were me, I'd choose his languages on the spot, but it's highly likely he'd speak Elvish as Elves live within Sandpoint, as do most of the Core Races.

Whether you say he knows all race languages that live in Sandpoint or not is up to you, but Elves are usually very intelligent, so he may have learned their language to further understand their purpose in life and/or use diplomatic reasoning with them to aid him in his studies, teachings or plans for the Religious Followers in Sandpoint.

Knowing Elven would most likely help him to do his job better in town. :)

There's a stat block for Zantus in the Pathfinder Comic (Issue 1). That says he speaks Common and Varisian.

Although you could certainly justify elven :)

Cheers!

Thanks. I could see it going either way, but will go with the comic in the absence of any other stat block. With questions like these, I usually default to whatever would be the cooler outcome. In this case, it would be that he doesn't know Elvish as the PCs are trying to work behind his back (drama=fun).
