New talent and sword and sorcery variant

This would be a New Talent entry.

In the Rules As Written it is tough to be multilingual and have other professions. I feel that some people are better learning languages than others.

IQ 11 Linguist (1) You have a knack for acquiring languages. Languages now cost ½ of what they normally do. Thus you can learn 2 languages for 1 point.

In addition, Phrase Books & foreign language dictionaries give +1 IQ when attempting a pidgin form of the Language you are studying.

Attempting to communicate without common language is through hand gestures & pointing, drawing, grunting, etc. This is a grade below pidgin form. Roleplay this out. However, if you absolutely need to roll dice, use the pidgin form rules (under language) and you are at -4 IQ.
