[QUOTE="Saeviomagy, post: 792892, member: 5890"] Wow. Way too boost the cleric in a serious way. I guess anyone who wants to summon things for anything other than combat has to be a cleric in your campaign. Nice to see that wizards and bards get so much compensation, especially since wizards are the traditional traffickers with demons and their ilk, and bards are supposed to be the traditional language masters. Finally - you need to be 7th level to speak another language (ie - not your native language) with a semblance of fluency (even though you can still apparently fail to understand normal speech). Also - +10 makes you fluent. But you can still botch up sentences? You still need to make rolls to speak your own language? Sounds really tedious to me. Can the PC's decipher the ancient runes before the walls crush them? It's called decipher script. Of course, under your system, it sounds like it's perfectly possible for them to not be able to read it even if it's written plainly in their native language. After recieving some 6 weeks of training in italian (once a week for 3 hours), I could understand enough spoken italian (accents and all) to stumble through simple situations like ordering food in a restaurant (and understanding that certain items weren't available, because the oven was broken), work out the price etc. 6 weeks. If it was written, I could pretty much guarantee comprehension, even if it was a discussion of the history of ancient museum pieces. I read slower than I would in my own language, but I could still do it, and guarantee doing it. And you're saying that I gained how many levels in that 6 weeks? [/QUOTE]
