Language point system for the hexcrawl because I want to make everything more difficult. I hate my players, and I want them to suffer:
- Languages are learned like skills. Interactions and uses allow the PC to attempt to improve their language rolls up to 10, at which point they will be considered fluent in most languages.
- A language roll may be attempted to understand another language with greater accuracy than what your skill already provides, but a failure can still provide information if your language level is high enough.
- If the language is directly or semi related to a language you know well (basically 10), you will have the new language at a skill of int/2 to begin with.
- Different language levels provide different levels of understanding:
- 10: Fluency + understanding of related languages
- 7: Understanding of spoken word, difficulty clarifying writing and reading
- 4: 2 or more interpretations of spoken word, only understanding certain words of reading and writing
- 1: Completely illiterate, you only understand a handful of words. Maybe.
- If your native language has no writing system, your ability to understand reading and writing is "one tier down".
