Pyramid 44 help Armin
Hello Armin
I need some help here. In the past you solved this issue I think, but I can't find your post. In Pyramid 44 it stats out languages as made up of multiple skills. Is there a data file for this? Or is there a way to create it? then I wish language talent to add a +1 to each language based skill, per level of the talent. thank you as always David |

Re: Pyramid 44 help Armin
I'm sorry, but that doesn't ring any bells, and I don't seem to have a language-oriented file in my folder.
I'm going to need a lot more details if I'm to help you with this, as I don't have that issue of Pyramid and have no idea what's involved.

Re: Pyramid 44 help Armin
Under this system, languages have three components: the spoken form, the written form, and the specific script system (or systems) used to write it. The first two of these are Average difficulty skills bought from a base of 10 (not IQ); see p. B170 for the cost progression. These skills are used to compose or understand the language; they will often also give defaults to understanding other languages. Each script system is a perk.
an example English (Spoken)-14 [16], English (Written)-14 [16], and the Latin script perk [1] So i guess it would be two Skills... base 10 to start with, of Average skills, Language (spoken), and Language (written), and then a Perk (script). And Language Talent is reskined to at add +1 for each level of the talent to the skills of Spoken and Written. So i need a way to tweak Language talent to add to any "language skill" +1. advice or help would be great :) |

Okay, I'm out of the office for a bit; will take a look at things tomorrow at the earliest (but possibly later).

Re: Pyramid 44 help Armin
You're welcome.
Now, I've built a skeleton of the file from what you've said. To make a full file with any examples of languages and defaulting, I'd need the article or a condensed version of it with just the GCA-specific needs detailed. Anyway, I've posted the current version of the file on my OneDrive here: https://1drv.ms/u/s!ArfRTuC0cl3qgbkE..._mi2Q?e=RxCg66 NOTE: I've not tested this yet! But it should work because it's fairly basic. Supporting this just needed a few things, really: 1) Skill types of 10/A, to make handling use of the base-10 skills easier. I included versions for E through VH in case folks wanna customize. 2) Skills for the language skills, obviously. I did New Skill versions, and English. 3) Perks for the scripts, obviously. I did New Script versions, and Latin. 4) Language Talent adjusted. This now uses the SKCAT: prefix to give a bonus to any skill with a category of Language, which I've used for the new skills. Please let me know if this seems to work correctly (or at all...). I will see if I can get a more complete version out for everyone, included with GCA, at some point.

Since I've done the skeleton of it anyway, I'd really like to make this a full file for the whole article, so that it can be made available to everyone with GCA.
