I have a question: have you considered compiling this into a free pdf that people can download? I know we can't cite the actual rules, but I'm thinking of SORD, which are pretty handy tools for gamers of other systems.



viewtopic.php?f=8&t=119147&hilit=Rifts+Rules+Compendium

There is a variety of things discussed about all of this in the above thread.

I believe the originator of this thread (Prince Artemis) is pitching or working on something involving this to one degree or another.
I am very opinionated. Yes I rub people the wrong way but at the end of the day I just enjoy good hard discussion and will gladly walk away agreeing to not agree :D

Rule: Language Skills (an incomplete megaversal list, reposting in original form)

This should not be considered a complete listing as I don't have all the Rifts Books and it is possible I missed something. World Book 6 mentions the existence of African Languages (I don't have the African World Book, I used RT 1E's Book #7 to add additional human languages in this region), and DB5 mentions 10,000 major languages and x100 dialects. Also some of the D-Bees might have their own dialect versions of existing languages that they use (example Gobbley and Faerie both have such examples). And in some instances the languages for a given race aren't part of their RCC description, but found in NPC language skills (and treated as existing).

I've broken this into several sections. Human Tongues, Non-Human Tongues (or not connected to a human tongue), possible tongues that have been lost/forgotten/unclear (includes Adoptive ones) in the description, non-humans with no identified native tongue, Specialist, Telepathic, Phase World Trade, and Palladium Fantasy Human Tongues. After each entry you will also see the source for the entry. Some of the languages appear to have multiple presentation formats and have been presented as separate dialects, though they may not be (GM call). Telepathic may or may not be universal, but given the use in Trade for Phase World I am inclined to say it is not.

Afrikaans (RT 1E#7 pg14)

Looking for some clarification on Sea Inquisitors... do you take an OCC/RCC and then add the Inquisitor stuff on top, including the couple skills, or they only get the couple skills in the Inquisitor write up, and then the rest of the skills from the 'base' class, or...?
