[QUOTE="Trouvere, post: 5432071, member: 37250"] The SRD says: "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." (1) if Speak Language is a class skill for your current class, then learning a new language costs 1 skill point. [SIZE="1"]This is the case for Bard (and its variants other than Savage Bard), Cloistered Cleric, Planar Ranger (for only some languages), Human Paragon (if player so chooses), Arcane Trickster, Dragon Disciple, Horizon Walker, Loremaster and Thaumaturgist; also for two LEW homebrew PrCs, Seeker of the Elemental Song and Trader.[/SIZE] (2) if Speak Language is not a class skill for your current class, then the cost is 2 skill points (3) since you do not specifically buy ranks in the Speak Language skill, the RAW implication is that the usual level+3 or (level+3)/2 rank limit does not apply, but I would consider it 'good manners' to stay within the limit, as with all other skills. Incidentally, languages known to be spoken in Enworld but not on the table of common languages include Old Medibarian and Sairundani, Maenad and Xeph. The existence of a Riverfolk language is strongly implied by their halting use of Common. [/QUOTE]
