Message: <blockquote data-quote="rpgHQ" data-source="post: 1194201" data-attributes="member: 12219">Shadow in my rather rambled and long winded prior post in this thread I had an example of two farmers speaking dialects of the same langauge, I am making the assumption of say a language rank system of 0 to 10 with 5 ranks being what the common person would speak in regards to fluency/education. And had the DC at 10. So say two orcs from different tribes speaking would get that +5 on their DC roll and I talked about maybe taking the differance in the rolls as a reaction modifier of sorts the bigger the difference in the rolls the more misunderstanding and hostility is likely. Along those same lines if oyu speak a langauge or several langauges all based on the same root tongue then you get synergy bonuses like with standard skills. With me orcs are part of the goblinoid races and all speak a variation of the same root tongue. So say a player has 5 ranks in a golbin langauge and 5 ranks in a orc langauge and is listening to some orcs talking in a 2nd orc tongue he would get a +4 synergy on top of his INT bonus when he makes his dc roll. But then again maybe you were just making some joke that I missed with the players pointing bit? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> I am tired so maybe I did miss something hehehe.After reading folks thoughts here and looking back on my own thoughts on how do handle langauges I am thinking more and more the way I am going will work nice and be flexible enough that everybody in my games will be ok with it if not actually happy with it. EN world is such a great place to find brain fodder to dig thru for my games <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
