[QUOTE="Hrothgar, post: 2523030, member: 22226"] [B]Languages[/B] I don't have my Midnight 1E book with me so I can't remember if 2E made any substantive changes, but in 2E they do work differently than the Player's Handbook. Your character is considered fluent in one automatic language (of her choice if more than one is listed). Rather than gaining additional languages given an intelligence bonus, your character gains 2 skill points per Int. bonus to spend on automatic languages. 3 ranks in Speak Language for a given language makes a character fluent in that language, 2 ranks gains basic competence, and 1 rank gives a character a pidgin competence. A language such as High Elven is so complex, 3 ranks are necessary to speak and understand it while Black Tongue is such a basic language, a pidgin level of competence makes a character fluent. Please list a (1) after a language to represent pidgin competence a (2) to represent basic competence. Please keep this in mind when characters are desinged. I won't make too much of an issue when someone with only speaking pidgin is speaking with someone fluent in a language. However, the goal is to limit languages, simulating the isolationist nature of Shadow-controlled Eredane. Elapse, this may limit the total number of languages you selected, unless you want pidgin competence in your other two languages. Krug, one of your languages should only have a pidgin level of competence. Bob Excellent. Nice to have you and BS working together. I think the direction you are taking your character is excellent. Maybe Kaela has only been here one year, her kindness giving her shelter and food during the harsh, unforgiving winter and her herbalism skills now ingratiating her with Caft's residence during the warmer herb growing months? Your character may know more about what is going on in Caft than the others because of her general acceptance. I just have to figure out a way to keep the suspense for you as well. I may have to feed you bits of information that she may already know. :) [/QUOTE]
