Language Skill

Language is a Social Skill that determines how well you can do things like:

• Your ability to communicate with a native speaker of a language.
• Your ability to speak to communicate basic ideas to someone that speaks a language similar to one you know.
• Your ability to pick up on speech in languages you are less familiar with.

The Languages Skill will list with it which specific Languages that you are fluent in. When you are skilled in a Language, you can freely speak with anyone else that also knows that Language.

When you don't know a Language, you can still attempt to communicate very basic messages, relying on body language and expressions. Each of these simple messages will likely require a Test to be made to determine how well you communicated. Fail the Test and you may receive a bad interpretation.

All languages (apart from the Common Tongue) are sorted into three Language Families. If your language skills don't include a language within the same Language Families, you must make the Language Skill Test with a Disadvantage.
