You gain additional Language Slots equal to Level or Sagacity, whichever is higher. Future increases to either one may add additional Slots. You learn languages twice as fast as others.
Because you are a polyglot, you have some ability to understand unknown languages. Depending on how common it is and if you already know a language of the same family, you might identify it, then grasp bits and pieces, the gist, or even some details, as the table shows. "Roll" means the next lower level is automatic.
