Beast Speech

You gain the ability to speak with and understand animals. You can communicate simple con- cepts, emotions, and requests. Animals are not compelled to be helpful, but they recognize you as a friend of nature and are generally more cooperative.

At 6th level, you can also communicate with magical animals and creatures (DN's discretion e.g., elemental, celestial, chimeras, etc.). At 9th level, you can speak with natural spirits in addition to animals.

The spell does not grant animals greater intelligence or knowledge beyond their natural experi- ence. Hostile animals may still attack despite being able to communicate.
