Appendix L: Languages

All characters begin the game knowing the Common tongue. More intelligent characters know additional languages. For every point of Int modifier, a character learns one more language. Finally, some characters may also learn more languages when they advance to level 1 in a class, as noted below:
Wizard: automatically know two additional languages for every point of Int modifier, meaning that when they advance from level 0 to level 1, they roll an additional language for every point of Int modifier in addition to the languages they knew at level 0.
Thief: automatically learn thieves’ cant at level 1. Elf, dwarf, and halfling: at level 1, demi-humans learn one additional language beyond Common, their racial language, and the languages earned by Int modifiers.
Warrior, cleric: do not earn any additional languages when advancing from level 0 to level 1. However, they may learn languages due to magic or improved ability scores, so their class entries are also included below.
Known languages are randomly determined by rolling d% on the table below.
