Speak Language (None; Trained Only)

=====Action=====

Not applicable.

=====Try Again=====

Not applicable. There are no Speak Language checks to fail.

The Speak Language skill doesn’t work like other skills. Languages work as follows.

• You start at 1st level knowing one or two languages (based on your race), plus an additional number of languages equal to your starting Intelligence bonus.

• You can purchase Speak Language just like any other skill, but instead of buying a rank in it, you choose a new language that you can speak.

• You don’t make Speak Language checks. You either know a language or you don’t.

• A literate character (anyone but a barbarian who has not spent skill points to become literate) can read and write any language she speaks. Each language has an alphabet, though sometimes several spoken languages share a single alphabet.
