I was doing some thinking. I would like to create a custom item. It will be a headband of Intellect +2 with 1 (maybe more) ranks in Speak Language. To add ONE skill rank to an item that already has magic costs: 100gp x 1.5 = 150gp's. Add that to the cost of the Headband of Intellect for a total of 4150gp's. Then I would like to give this item to Boo. This would give Boo the ability to understand the language but not speak it because he doesn't have vocal cords.
I suppose I could just make a skill headband that only cost 100gp's to allow Boo to understand Common. For that cost I might as well add a few languages. But the point of the +2 to intellect is it would allow him to actually understand what you were saying. If he just had Animal Intelligence of 1-2, knowing a language wouldn't change Boo's animal behavior.
Then there is >>This<< item from Pathfinder which does allow an animal to speak. Which if allowed Toot could add the +2 to intelligence to it for 6000gp's.
