You have studied the customs, gestures, and tonal nuances of countless cultures, enabling you to communicate across language barriers and read people more effectively. You gain the following benefits:
-
Polyglot’s Ear: You learn two additional languages of your choice.
-
Rapid Understanding: When interacting with a creature whose language you do not share, you can make a DC 15 Intelligence (Insight) check after 1 minute of observation to grasp enough of their meaning to convey basic concepts. On a success, you and the creature can exchange simple ideas, emotions, and intentions for the next hour.
-
Glyph Reader: When examining writing in an unfamiliar language, you can, after 10 minutes of study and a DC 15 Intelligence (Investigation) check, glean the gist of its meaning — enough to understand context and purpose, but not precise wording.
-
Gesture Diplomacy: When you make a Charisma check to influence a creature whose language you do not share, you can do so without disadvantage, provided it can see or hear you.
-
Cultural Memory: Whenever you make an Intelligence (History) or Wisdom (Insight) check to recall or recognize the customs, taboos, or etiquette of a culture, you can add double your proficiency bonus if you’re proficient in the skill.
