Another neat effect that could be applied to languages is if songs sung in a
mobs native language had a better chance of success, i.e. lowers their
chance to resist. I think someone brought this up a long time ago on this
list but I don't remember who it was. I doubt this will ever happen because
its too easy to raise language skills with spamming. Anyone have an idea on
how Verant could implement something like this without making it a class
balance issue?

What would be neat is if the creatures actually spoke their native tongues
all the time, and each time a gnoll yelled at you, you actually had a chance
to learn a little gnollish. :) So in the begging you'd see:

A gnoll says, 'Wok wollo ulmplatim oke an llyels om lma obbla for!'

And it would soon become:

A gnoll says, 'Your infamous reputation is an affront to all I stand for!'

Would be neat watching it improve as you learn.
