[QUOTE="Sherlock, post: 1335775, member: 15395"] There seems to be a bit of confusion on languages. You don't start with extra languages based on your INT bonus. Speak Other Language skill is used instead. It is treated like any other skill. It is INT based. Each different language requires a seperate Speak Other Language skill. A character knows his native language and does not require any checks when using that language. For Example: Speak Latin 2 Ranks Speak French 5 Ranks Speak Arabic 1 Rank As long as you have at least one rank in the language you can speak, write, and read that language. Though the higher you bonus the better you can understand and speak language. I am going to add a House Rule concerning Languages as several characters know several different languages. You gain 1 rank of Speak Other Language for every point of INT bonus the character knows. These ranks can be split up as you wish. [/QUOTE]
