[QUOTE="Falanor, post: 609264, member: 2634"] "His proposed system goes to 20, while Kalamar goes to 12. That's a huge difference." His system goes to 20, yes. Kalamar's has no listed upper limit. Kalamar is 12+. "Um, I count 29, without mention of dialectic difficulty. That's from the KoK Player's Guide...am I missing something?" Yeah, my ability to screw up in basic counting and forgetting the dialect thing is in Spycraft. "However, the KoK system assumes that Merchant's Tongue (AKA common) is spoken in most places in the world." It also makes the assumption that governments and national pride do not detract from the spread of such a language. "I'm not saying the system has no merit at all (at least not right now), I am saying it is too extreme, as are you, in your own way." True, but you are not offering anything up to aid, you are just criticizing it. "Why devote 16 ranks to one language when the overwhelming odds are you will never have an opportunity to use that language?" Why devote 12 for the same reason? Not every language a character learns will ever be mastered (sort of like real life). Fact really more than two is kinda pushing it. [/QUOTE]
