[QUOTE="Erila of Sune, post: 889272, member: 11150"] Just my thing for dealing with languages. 1) To speak a given language requires enough skill points for one rank (only Wizards get this as a class-skill.) With that, you can speak any language well enough to get things done (Buy goods, find the outhouse, learn that the local dragon's scheduled the virgin sacrifice for tonight.) Also, you can hold a basic conversation about complex topics related to anything you already know (Skills, class-abilities, and such.) Most adventurers will only need this much. 2) Beyond the first rank in the language, you gain the ability to discuss esoteric topics, barter, etc. This would also include such things as the fighter attempting to learn about magical theory (he just doesn't have the vocabulary in this area.) Whenever attempting to communicate highly advanced concepts, roll the Speak Language skill against an appropriate DC. Note that in your native tongues you automatically succeed at any such check.
