Forget who came up with this table.
But had it years ago.
Since someone asked I figured i'd share.


Language Proficiency Table

Roll D100 Result

01-10	May only communicate simple
	ideas like "I want food."

11-30	May get across simple requests and live day-to-day in the 
native country of the language speakers. "How many moneys for leg of lamb?"

31-50	Assured communication. One can speak better than a stupid 
native (most stupid natives will be 30%!) and get most ideas across. 
"But that was only three coppers yesterday."

51-80	Allows one to tell stories, sagas, songs, etc. Can argue and 
bargain as well as any native speaker. "That lamb was rotten before 
it was butchered, and it never was worth the spit it took to hit the 
tax collector's eye last month."

81-00	This is the language of poets, philosophers, leaders, 
diplomats, emissaries and others who aspire to a fluent grasp of the 
nation's speech. "Surely the assessment for this specimen of 
decomposing provender could be reevaluated in consideration of its 
advanced state of putrefaction."
