/tg/, I need your help in something. Yesterday I had the first session as DM, running a homebrew in D&D 3.5, and none of the players had any experience with tabletops.
The problem is that one of the guys made your typical half-orc barbarian, with an int score of 6.
Because of that (and because he said his character was raised by his human mother, in a country populated by human barbarian tribes) I ruled that his character had only learned how to speak and understand Common, not Orcish.
Then he calls me today and gripes about it, saying that he should know Orcish because the book says it's an automatic language.
After discussing for a while, I pulled the DM-card on him. Am I a bad DM for doing this? Should I just let him have the extra language?
