Language

Skill Class: Knowledge
Unskilled Usage: can't be used unskilled
Prerequisite: none
You can speak, read, and write a contemporary language beside your own. If you purchase this skill at level one, you can only use simple tourist phrases. If you purchase it at level three, you can hold a simple conversation. If you purchase it at level five, you can hold intelligent conversations and can speak and understand most commonly used phrases, essentially being fluent in the language. If you purchase it at level ten, you can understand increasingly more difficult terms, such as technical or medical terminology. If you purchase it at level 15, you can understand every little nuance and oddity of the language and may even understand words and phrases that are no longer in common use. If you want to be able to speak more than one additional language, you must purchase the skill multiple times for each.
A character is said to automatically have their own language at level ten, unless they are Illiterate, in which case they only have it at level three. No roll, however, is ever required for a character to speak in their own language.
