Dorganath - 3/27/2006 1:05 PMTypically, someone (like a low-INT half-giant) who can't speak well isn't going to be able to write well either...or read much more than some common and simple words. I'd personally leave the discretion up to the players to RP appropriately their intelligence and thereby their level of literacy rather than crafting (and enforcing) rules about who can and cannot send hawk messages, use the quil system, etc.
