Summary: TYPEs and PREreqs for Languages

Initial Comment:
It would be nice if the TYPE tree stuff was added to
languages. This would mean that when you are selecting
a language you could select them from a folding tree
rather than a very long list.

ie

Quxark TYPE=Alien.OuterRim.TransGalatic
English TYPE=Common.Human.TransGalatic
Tibbarian TYPE=Alien.Common.Empire

It would also be nice to have PREreqs on things like
Race so that Languages could be limitied. In some books
there are languages that can only be learn by
specificied races.

Regards

Languages currently support PREReqs, e.g. Druidic in the
srd35 mode has the prereq PREVARGTEQ:DruidicLanguage,1 to
stop it being offered to anyone other than druids.

Languages also support type, again with Druidic in the srd35
mode having TYPE:Spoken.Written.Read.Druid.Secret

So all that remains to satisfy this request is to display
the languages in tree form.

There has been a request to make languages into a more general object so 
the concept can be used in other skills. This has direct uses in the SRD 
and Spycraft 2. The SRD Perform skill lets you add instraments as you 
gain ranks. Spycraft 2 has a number of skills (but not all) in which you can 
gain skill focuses, Drive lets you focus on vehicle types, Science lets you 
gain focuses in specific fields as you gain ranks. The difficulty is that it's 
not always a 1 rank per focus cost. This is the way this needs to be 
developed IMO.

nope, we're not touching languages as a part of ability. 
though there is no reason that in the future we can't
convert Languages to be ability objects.
