Gift of Tongues


Rules Questions

Grand Lodge

The gnomish racial substitution Gift of Tongues says that in addition to a +1 to diplomacy/bluff, the gnomes will also learn one additional language every time they put a point into linguistics.

Now linguistics itself gives you a language every time you put a point into it. Does this mean a gnome with the Gift of Tongues feature gets two languages for each point of linguistics?

(Yes I know it should seem obvious, but my group has had a couple of arguments over it. My DM set-up a language based puzzle that fell apart because the gnome knew more languages than he expect him to.)

Shadow Lodge

Sure does. My gnome fire elementalist has 16 languages at level 4. (Racial 3, 4 from INT, 8 from GoT & linguistics, and one from Etymologist (trait from Gnomes of Golarion +1 bonus language, +1 linguistics which becomes a class skill))
