Smatterings
(Races of Destiny, page 153, DnD 3.5)
[General]
You have a talent for acquiring languages -- at least enough of each one to get by.
Prerequisite
INT 13
Benefit
You can learn enough of a language to ask and understand simple questions, explainations, and instructions. This benefit only applies to verbal communication. After 2d6 days of listening to a new language, you know enough to ask simple questions and to follow simple directions. Upon every future encounter with this language, you need only 1d4 days to regain that knowledge.
