I was reading the Skills section under languages and it says that one's
language rating is intellegence + an allotment based on intellegence, providing
the language is in the same group as the native tongue. For instance, one of
my characters has an Int of 6 and speaks English (a Germanic language) as his
native tongue. According to this rule, I can allot 1 intellegence point toward
another Germanic language and be able to speak it at a 7 rating. Now, if I
understand this item correctly, wouldn't that mean that this character can
have all Germanic languages as essential "freebies," all at a 6 rating?
Am I reading too much into this? How does SR2 deal with this apparent glitch
in the system?
