[QUOTE="Vlos, post: 1856719, member: 15447"] I sort of like the idea of languages as skills. The question is what skill levels (DC) is required for specific things. The following may be a bit too much though, but just some initial thoughts. Known Language DCs: Speaking crudely - DC 5 (some barbarians may not speak well at all) Speaking - DC 10 Speaking with Acent - DC 20 Speaking with unused/ancient Accent - DC 0? Reading basic - DC 5 Reading - DC 10 Reading Encoded (or is this a separate skill Cryptography with synergy bonus) Writting basic 10 Writting 15 Writting Encoded (or is this a separate skill Cryptography with synergy bonus) Also many dialects are similar, so should there be synergy bonuses? Characters would start with a number of languages equal to the INT modifier with a starting skill bonus of (INT - 10 [min 1]). Unknown languages is -20 without any ranks in a language. Similar languages grant a +2 synergy bonus with 5 or more ranks in similar unknown language. And the Comprehend languages would grant a +5 while Tounges would grant +10. Ok maybe too complex...
