How do you properly handle bad RPing during an encounter?

Well, yes.
My point was they share animal mouths, not that they should be able to walk upright or use opposable thumbs (Although Moonkin can at least do the former!)

Some moon/owl/wildkin can talk too.

More than hoots?
That’s pretty wild (pun intended)

The capacity for speech is down to the structure of the throat, not so much the mouth. Same as gripping things with your limbs doesn’t require just having limbs, it requires opposable thumbs, and walking upright requires the foot structure and leg musculature to support it instead of just having legs. “They look similar” isn’t enough of an argument for druid form speech in my opinion

It’s magic speak. They can talk because it’s fun and cool to be a talking animal. I mean this isn’t exactly quantum physics brother.

Can’t wait on the explanation in how Raszageth is able to speak.

That does make it pretty entertaining. No one ever seems to question mumbling zombies or chattering skulls.

Ultimately though it’s a bit of a fruitless discussion and I much prefer just conceding that there’s writing that supports both approaches to the druid speech problem. We’ve seen ones that can’t, we’ve seen ones that can. And one of the ones that can is a walrus stuck in a bathtub so it isn’t exactly a knack left for archdruids to master.

Perhaps it’s just
 a matter solved by people doing the one they enjoy and not overly lingering on the other? Who can say.

Windriders (wyverns) can talk too.

Yeah, the point being that there’s a good number of creatures in the setting that can talk using the “magic speak” from dragons to undead and ghosts, so I don’t know why people hyperfocus on druids who use magic to change into a magicked up version of an animal as that being their limit, because ‘science!’

It’s like the least bothersome thing ever. I think we can agree it’s better if a druid just speaks normally instead of doing the meow mweooww growlll meowwwww meme.
