Sign Language

[Rocannon II]

If a PC learns Sign Language, can he teach it to the rest of the party, without them having to burn a feat?

[Aratorin]

Not as written, no. You have to take the Sign Language Feat.

[lemeres]

...someone had to teach your own character how to do sign language, and you still needed to burn the feat.

[Lost In Limbo]

Not unless you allow the PC who speaks Infernal to teach it to the rest of the party without them having to burn a feat.

[Wheldrake]

One could easily imagine a downtime activity called "learn a language". But it could take months to accomplish. Especially since the lack of granularity means you either know or don't know a language, and there are no degrees of language mastery.

[Aratorin]

There is this, of course it's not official.

I am OK with using feats to learn languages but I am not sure why sign language is in a separate category. It should be uncommon maybe, but I don't get why it's game mechanically different to learn from the other languages.
