Enchantment Runes reflect their scripts

Post by Red Ropes » Wed Feb 14, 2018 1:39 pm

Basically, in FR the languages in it have shared scripts, rather than languages. Runes exist among many of them. The idea is to make it so knowing one particular language isn't necessary but makes it more broad / practical.

So instead of elven runes, or xanalress runes or dwarven. You'd have the scripts their written in represent their runes.

ESPRUAR
Elven
'Xanalress'
Undercommon
Halfling

DETHEK
Dwarven
Gnomish
Giant
Orcish
Goblin

IOKHARIC
Draconic

INFERNAL
Infernal
Abyssal (yes, apparently they use the same script in the lore- but they could just easily be their own thing - check players handbook 3.5, pg 82 for ref)

CELESTIAL
Celestial

I just think it'd be a neat way to deal with runes, inject a bit of lore, and make things a bit less weird.
