Can I communicate through my familiar?

I've always wanted to make a non-verbal character.



But I think it would be pretty difficult to communicate with the rest of my party members. I want to make an in-world way to make communication possible.



Is it possible to telepathically speak to my familiar, who then communicates my thoughts to my team?

It depends on the familiar.



The default find familiar forms are all beasts, and list no languages spoken. Nothing in the find familiar spell alters that; it says you can communicate with it telepathically, but nothing mentions giving it the power of speech, so it doesn't.



However, some of the bonus forms for the Warlock's Pact of the Chain do speak. The Sprite, Imp, and Quasit speak common, among other languages, and could act as a translator the way you describe.

            A CLEAN and SIMPLE way to add appendices to Table of Contents and bookmarks

            Image
            0 I found a lot of questions abount appendices and ToC. Many users want appendices to be grouped in an Appendix part, however some problems arise with ToC, hyperref, PDF viewer bookmarks, and so on. There are different solutions which require extra packages, command patching and other extra code, however none of them satisfies me. I almost found an easy way to accomplish a good result, where appendices are added to bookmarks in the right way and hyperref links point to the right page. However, the number of the "Appendix" part page is wrong (it's the number of appendix A). Is there any EASY way to fix that? This is a MWE: documentclass{book} usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind} usepackage{hyperref} begin{document} frontmatter tableofcontents mainmatter part{First} chapter{...
