You don’t really need that extra spell slot for a game that’s not at all punishing in the combat department though, and having Speak With Animals memorized as a ritual is just much better QoL than having to buy and drink potions all the time IMO
I agree that speak with animals as a ritual is a QoL win, but I just sold 15 of those potions at the start of act 3 and I’ve never even bought one, you find em everywhere lol. Seeing as I don’t think I’ve even taken 15 long rests, you can probably get away with just drinking the potions you find on the ground.
