FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-.... :mrgreen:

A big thank you to the development team!

Whoa. Seriously? That's a fairly drastic reversal of what I thought the team's general position on language rules was.

How is this thing going to work?

I just goes "[Language] Your Text", it doesn't have it's own language or anything.

I LOVE YOU TERRA!

There is a gibberish generator

I didn't know that until I saw other people using it! lol

Huh. That's nifty.

I really hope some of it will be class specific like Druidic

Druidic ID: 13 Complexity: 2

Non Druids can't pick druidic. Hence why it should not be selectable but class restricted is what she means.

It requires a DM to grant the language to a PC, as explained in the in-depth language topic by Terra.

Yarp. In the case of Druidic, technically a non-Druid would be able to learn it however the Druid that taught it would be Fallen immediately. So actually it would make a lot of sense with the system. You'd have to prove how you learned it, by PC or NPC. And the NPC would be governed strictly by the DMs and a PC would probably get a Fall, lol.

Yeah, but also, you ought to have someone teach you druidic who knows it. In the same way that not all people who take rogues as a class will automatically know Cant, tongues must be taught.

Thieves Cant is not a language, its slang. Its common, with heavy slang. Saying one thing and meaning another.
Thieves Cant - "Going to the tea kettle to get a bag of leaves"
Translation - "Going to the dealer to buy some herbs"

Quite correct.

Thieves cant could be spoken in any language, since it's a sort of code. Theoretically, other long established organizations of a more covert nature might have their own cant as well but that's more IC flavour.

Also...what about the half-elves for example? Can they get Elven as their racial language or should they use a language point for that?

Another thing...What about the job system? I would assume that historians, linguists, archeologists, priests and other related intellectuals who might work with foreign languages could get bonus points, no?
