A question about languages: it feels sort of arbitrary as a choice - unless there's something substantial behind it that we don't see in here. Assume someone picks Arabic: if the MC puts then something relevant in Arabic in the game, then it makes sense, otherwise it's a wasted choice.
Is there something in the MC rules or other places in the game to put languages into context?
Otherwise Literate might be more appealing if rewritten as having the right to read "important" written text before you - even when ciphered or cryptic for others. Basically, with Literate, you have the right to know others' secrets if written down... Does it make sense?
