I guess I didn't read it that way. We'll have to get Terry to clarify it tonight at game.

I'm not sure what you mean about not getting Int bonus. points either. I mean, these aren't like regular skills - no one has, like, 10 ranks in Frey or something. The only possible scores range from 1-4, as far as I understand it, and for the common languages, 2 is the max. Getting Int. bonus points would be weird under those circumstances.

But I do agree that if it's not in-class for the wizards/priests, it should be .

I think that getting int bonus points would help balance the fact that wizards/priests get so few skillpoints, and essentially have anotherclass skill that is important to them. These aren;t like regualr skill where even if you have a low rank, a good die roll (or taking 20) can help you succeed better, either. Speak Language is Trained Only - in order to be able to read or speak (and really I'm much more interested in reading than speaking.... and tend to thing that you shouldn't have to be able to speak something in order to read it), you have to have exactly the number of ranks that Terry specifies, as far as I can tell (except for the ouncommon and rare ones, where you can get more basic comprehension for fewer ranks, I suppose).

But yes, I think discussion/clarification of these points will be good.
