Players Learning Languages from NPCs

[ChaosSlayerZ]

they way i remember it, once your skill in language got to a certain point - even very low - the text would stil be garbled cuase you have long way to go to understand it, BUT you would at least know what language is been spoken.

If it makes you feel any better, when I was working on the npc language stuff, I spent about four hours trying to figure out why one of my characters (the gm one, of course) could understand everything but it worked fine for everyone else.

And I think it's a skill of 25 that lets you identify the language.
