[QUOTE="Tales and Chronicles, post: 7070418, member: 6871653"] I use a variant of the Thule's campaing rules for literacy. In my setting, not every body has the opportunity to go to school and learn how to write and read (I use the standard array). 13+: you can read, write and speak every languages given by your class, background and race. 10-12: You cannot read or write, but can speak any language given by your class, background and race. -10: You only speak your racial language (ex: a dwarf with 8 Int will only be able to communicate in Dwarvish) This way, if my players want to dump Int, they have to make sure to have someone else to translate for them. I have a half-orc cleric who changed is 10 Int to a 13 Int just to be able to read and write his prayer book of Pelor. Another one is playing an old tiefling blacksmith from a small village, who clearly had no opportunity to learn how to read or write. She can only speak in Common since she's a tiefling with 9 Int. She relies on other party members to write back home and read riddles in dungeons. [/QUOTE]
