Languages

Characters are generally considered to be literate in any language they speak.

To start out with, characters speak Standard Kylian and one additional language (which is, with few exceptions, tied to their race). A character who has an Intelligence bonus at 1st level speaks other languages as well, one extra language per point of Intelligence bonus as a starting character.

Characters may purchase Speak Language as if acquiring any other skill (i.e. if it is not a class skill, it costs two skill points to obtain). Instead of obtaining ranks in this skill, they gain a new language they are proficient in.
