        Actually Draconic is Spanish cuz Celestial is Latin, and Elvish is French cuz they snooty (also a romance language). Dwarves can be Portuguese, as a little treat :3

              The problem wasn't even Jose, it was your refusal to pick a class.

                Brazilian Portuguese is too "melodic" for abyssal, but some European Portuguese accents can work.

                  In the game I'm playing, goblins have thick New York accents. If my creepy-ass lizard person dies, I might switch to that, or a Nordic elf with a thick Swedish accent.

                        Esperanto is more like Common. A language that everyone speaks, more or less, can only be something from an imperialist power or a neutral ground created for that.

                                        fwiw it's not exactly difficult, it's just weird english basically. The alphabet is literally just english with different symbols.

                                          it could work if they agree to just be underpowered, like they have parts of each class' standard kit and it mostly doesn't work well but every now and then they can get some sweet sweet synergy from some abilities and save the day.

                                          And because of this José always feels a bit left out, so he's always eager to do something useful even if it's just casting mage light (which is one of the few spells he can wrap his head around).
                                          He's also just generally a really nice guy and he's great at mundane things like cooking and he doesn't complain, so he doesn't quite realize that his party is being pretty mean and taking advantage of him. But over time the others just can't help but start considering him a close friend and he becomes a vital part of the team.
