Languages Reworked

Languages in Xenara are non-race based as the whole of mortalkind has progressed to regional variation when it comes to Languages. That means you can be a half-orc and not know orcish but know draconic and dwarvish.

Now, the number of languages your character knows depends on your Intelligence modifier (only if it is positive).
[The BRAIN MATTERS house rule is already counted in this rework]
Consult the table below:

Intelligence Modifier - Languages Known (Understand, Read, and Write)
+0 - Common Only
+1 - Common + 1
+2 - Common + 1
+3 - Common + 2
+4 - Common + 2
+5 - Common + 3

To pick your languages known, your choices are limited by in which your character grew up or spent the most time in. If you have more languages that you can know and not have any more choices to pick from, you can pick any language (it being reflavored that you studied it before). Consult the tables below:
