For all you cunning linguists out there, the Linguistics skill brings you what you enjoy most: figuring out all them funny words! Linguistics can be used to get the gist of writing or speech that you otherwise don’t understand.
Difficulty
The difficulty should be determined on a situational basis by the GM. Below are a few examples:
| Example | DL |
|---|---|
| A conversation or writing from recent years | 20 |
| A several hundred year old tablet | 25 |
| Ancient text in a forgotten alphabet | 30 |
| Conversation is muffled or text is slightly illegible (smeared, worn) | +5 |
The GM might want to roll the Linguistics check is secret so the player isn’t sure what the character interpreted is correct or not.
Time
Translating a full page of text generally takes 1–2 minutes.
Retry
Linguistics attempts cannot be retried without spending a fate point.
