And in terms of Languages, I am going to assume that all of you have both your native language and Westron (Latin) as a default at Language 10 level - no points will need to be spent on these. Only if you want other languages will you need to buy them, and as mentioned above, writing will also need to be bought.
Levels for languages are: -
§ Language
4 (0.5 pt). Equivalent to a 0+ score
on the Foreign Service Institute proficiency scale. You recognize the language when you hear it,
understand important commands (Stop!), know a few useful phrases (“How much
does it cost?”, “Do you speak Esperanto?”), and can follow simple replies
(“Five credits”, “No”.). You cannot
respond to questions more complex than “What is your name?”
§ Language
6 (1 pt). FSI 1. You could survive in the language. If your listeners are patient, and speak
slowly and simply, you can get directions, find the time or date, order a meal,
rent a hotel room, buy groceries or a train ticket, and answer basic questions
such as: “What is your job, birthday, nationality, marital status, current
address, reason for being in our country...?”
§ Language
8 (2 pt). FSI 2. You can use the language for everyday
purposes. You understand clear
conversation with only an occasional need to ask for a definition. You can usually make yourself understood,
though your speech is hesitant and heavily accented, your grammar is poor, and
you often need to resort to circumlocutions. If you are literate, you can read simple prose intended for a general
audience.
§ Language
10 (4 pt). FSI 3. Practical fluency. You have no
trouble understanding clear conversation, and can follow technical material
with a little effort (assuming you could follow it in your native language!).
You can use the language for most things you can do in your native language
without special preparation - carry on conversation, study skills, grovel
properly, insult someone, propose marriage.... Your accent is obvious but not particularly thick, and your grammatical
errors are never bad enough to prevent understanding and only rarely
embarrassing. If you are literate, you
can read newspapers, novels and similar material with understanding. Poetry,
slang or other nonstandard usage can still give you trouble.
§ Language
12 (8 pt). FSI 4+. In casual speech you have a slight accent, and make an occasional
mistake, but you can pass for a native in short, formal situations like a
checkpoint questioning. You understand
poetry, literature and other artistic uses of the language, and can follow
current slang, colloquialisms and cultural references.
§ Language
14 (12 pt). FSI 5. You have a second native language. You automatically think in the language when using it regularly, can use
it to do mental arithmetic and regularly dream in it.
If you are interested in other languages, let me know and I can provide a listing.

>§ Phonetic Script 4
(0.25 pts) You know the shapes and
conventional order of the letters, can follow instructions like `Push the
button marked A', can sound out isolated words, and can write your name or
other simple words or phrases you have practiced in advance.
>§ Phonetic Script 6 (.5
pt) You can read and understand simple connected text,
albeit very slowly (under 30 wpm). Complicated sentences are beyond your ability to read and understand at
the same time, though you can read them aloud for others to interpret.
>§ Phonetic Script 8 (1 pt) You read
slowly (under 120 wpm) and need to make an IQ roll to understand texts with a
complex structure, such as technical specs, legal documents, or poetry.
>§ Phonetic Script 10 (2
pt) You read as fast as you can speak (about 180
words per minute) and understand any written material you could follow if it
were spoken aloud. This is the level
taught by most basic literacy programs or primary schools, and the level of
most well educated readers before the spread of printing.
>§ Phonetic Script 12 (4
pts) You read silently, and faster than you can
speak. Reading
does not require any special effort, and can be carried on while performing
some other light activity. This is the
level of literacy taught by modern school systems.
>§ Phonetic Script 14 (8
pt) You read very quickly, and are familiar with
many variant scripts and orthographies.
