You gain the ability to comprehend and verbally communicate with beasts for the duration. The knowledge and awareness of many beasts is limited by their intelligence, but at a minimum, beasts can give you information about nearby locations and monsters, including whatever they can perceive or have perceived within the past day. You might be able to persuade a beast to perform a small favor for you, at the DM's discretion.

Hearthhall is a private home for a campaign — a shared wiki, play-by-post boards, character sheets that know their own spell slots, and dice rolled on the server. The rest of the library is open to everyone; campaigns looking for players are too.
