Languages
So many ways to tell some-pony to go get ashed...
There are many diverse dialects in the world of Fallout Equestria: Journeys, and a chance you'll come across languages you do not understand. When a character is speaking a foreign language, they will place it in <> brackets, as well as state in their post what language they're speaking in their post. Depending on your level of proficiency, you will be able to understand a certain amount of the words, or, if you're 100% proficient, all of it as well as engage others in said language with no difficulty. DO NOT METAGAME. If you do not know a language, or have any proficiency, you must behave as if you do not know what is being said or discussed. Seeing people's body language, however, as an indicator of what the tone of the conversation is at personal discretion.
Fluency by Percentage:
Languages are handled simply in Foe: Journeys, your character has 200% language proficiency to spend across all available languages at creation.
Notes:
Additional language proficiency can be earned by purchasing language books at 150 caps each, 5% per book. It takes a grand total of 3000 caps to become proficient in a language. You may only buy 5 language books per week.
You may also take up a tutor! Any character with the Language Tutor General Perk can raise your proficiency 5% per roleplay session of trying to learn to speak, understand, and write a given language that they know. It is generally expected that said tutor charges for this service.
