    A 64 The Speak Language skill only requires a single skill point per language, and unless a character is illiterate, includes the ability to read that language. Thus, a single skill point investment is sufficient to consider someone "fluent" in a language.

    Deciphering obtuse RAW is a challenge generally ranging from Tough (DC 15) to Formidable (DC 25). To consistently perform a skill check on such a challenge, one might need anywhere from 5-15 ranks in the skill.

    Being fluent in English (or whatever language you're currently using), you have the equivalent of one point invested, or one skill rank.

    I think you can see the problem.

    Except you never make Speak Language checks. It has no associated atttribute, and is never rolled. The roll to interpret RAW would be a Decipher Script roll.

    For a more detailed answer, you can check earlier in the thread.

    Similarly, this one may have been asked before but I don't recall. Please forgive.

    Q 74 If a tree falls in the woods and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?
    If you cast Dispel Magic on my Gust of Wind, does that mean you're disgusting?

    In real estate, they say it's all about location, location, location. In D&D I say it's about action economy, action economy, action economy.

    A 74 The Listen DC for a falling tree is not listed anywhere, so it's debatable if it makes a sound even if someone is there to hear it.
