Just a heads up that spell prep #250 (You speak quietly in flowing elven, preparing the [spell name] spell... ) does not currently allow Winedotter Gnomes to purchase it, even though it is advertised that they can.

Figured it might be a faster fix to post here rather than to bug it.

This has to happen.

>>Think I probably missed the joke here, but winedotter gnomes can speak Elven.

This is correct. When I initially designed that prep, I left notes that it be restricted to elves, half-elves, sylvans, dark elves, aelotoi, and Winedottir gnomes (basically everyone who mechanically speaks Elven coming out of the mangler). We didn't have anything to check/enforce that mechanically at the time, so the GM running the spell prep merchant at the initial Summit runs had to manually check. The dwarven phrase is likewise restricted to dwarves and Aledottir gnomes.

More a 'plea'. Fits in with the 'let us all learn other languages' movement through the decades, and the continued 'limitation' of the elf (gray elf of yore) only getting to speak elven, common and profession / guild.

I mean, somewhere some elf has to have said "you know what, I'm bored this millennium, I'm going to learn dwarven to further my research of the Deep Dark."

And, etc., etc., etc. Plus, I like the idea of the 'barking elf'. ;)

But, happy happy happy.
