Language

General proficiency — see Proficiencies for the rules and the Proficiency Index for the full list.

This proficiency enables the character to learn to speak an additional three languages of his choice. The character’s level of literacy with the new language is determined by his Intellect. Characters with an Intellect of 9 or higher can also read and write the new languages. Characters with an Intellect of 8 or less are generally illiterate. However, this proficiency can be taken by such a character to become literate in one language the character already speaks. This proficiency can be selected multiple times, allowing the character to learn 3 additional languages (or become literate in one additional language) each time.
