Linguistics Expert

Your gift for languages borders on the supernatural.

• Raise your Intelligence attribute by 1, up to the attribute cap of 20.
• Select three languages and gain the ability to read, write, and speak them.
• By spending an hour, you can develop a cipher that you are able to teach to others. Anyone who knows the cipher can encode and read hidden messages made with it; the apparent text must be at least four times longer than the hidden message. Other creatures can detect the presence of the cipher if they spend a minute examining it and succeed on an Investigation check against a DC equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier. If the check succeeds by 5 or more, they can read the hidden message.
