[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 9608922, member: 2209"] That would definitely be an option. Understanding language, particularly a piece of written text with no body language to cue off of seems more like an int check to me though, perhaps an insight check using intelligence. Rulings not rules. :) From the 14 5e PH: INTELLIGENCE Intelligence measures mental acuity, accuracy of recall, and the ability to reason. INTELLIGENCE CHECKS An Intelligence check comes into play when you need to draw on logic, education, memory, or deductive reasoning. Other Intelligence Checks. The DM might call for an Intelligence check when you try to accomplish tasks like the following: Communicate with a creature without using words WISDOM Wisdom reflects how attuned you are t o the world around you and represents perceptiveness and intuition. WISDOM CHECKS A Wisdom check might reflect an effort to read body language, understand someone's feelings, notice things about the environment, or care for an injured person. Insight.
