[QUOTE="Rae ArdGaoth, post: 4728488, member: 21064"] [sblock=OOC: ]As I believe the primary reason for the +5 bonus from a [i]helm of comprehend languages[/i] is that you actually understand the language (even if you don't know the script), I think I should significantly reduce the bonus to this kind of Decipher Script check (decrypting instead of translating). Knowing every language ever would certainly be useful, though, so I think a +2 bonus is appropriate.[/sblock] The librarian gives Tommy a haughty look at the mention of the magical helmet. [b]"But of course we have such tools. Just a moment."[/b] He snatches a young scholar carrying a stack of books and whispers harshly in the student's ear. [sblock=Listen DC: 15][b]"Go to Master Grintley, tell him I need to use his personal helm of languages. Don't come back to me without it! Sneak it out from behind his back if you have to, but get it to me. If he gives you grief, blame me."[/b][/sblock] Muttering to himself, the librarian comes back. [sblock=Listen DC: 20][b]"I'll be [i]disintegrated[/i] before I let this Academian shame our library. Russna's left toe, why didn't we think of this before?"[/b][/sblock] A smile forms on his face. [b]"He'll be right back with the helmet you requested. The lavatories are over there, and spells cost the standard amount. I'll summon a caster as soon as you're ready."[/b] [/QUOTE]
