[QUOTE="Mirtek, post: 4009107, member: 40810"] I voted illiteracy and I also agree with the people who dislike the automatic common language. This actually bothered me the most in Living Greyhawk, where any race could speak at least common and it's own language except my poor oerdian human who could only speak common and had to spend a bonus langue slot to learn speaking oerdian. For LFR I hope that the languages of the different human subcultures will matter and that humans are no longer discriminated by having to learn their own language as a bonus language while elves and dwarves and whatever else get theirs for free Currency wouldn't matter often. Coins are not valuable because they bear the stamp of government XY (because no one outside the immediate reach of government XY considers their promise to honor their debt valuable), but because they are made from valuable things. So the worst thing would be that you goldcoins from country X weight 0.8/50 pound while the coins of kingdom Y (where you currently are) weigh 1/50 pounds. Thus 10 of your coins buy you as much as 8 of theirs. [/QUOTE]
