Clerics gain +1 ranks each level in the following languages: Celestial, Abyssal, and Infernal. Reading/writing common is a separate skill, which they can put points into if they desire to. Barbarians have 10 ranks in Common, but can only speak it. Rogues get +1 free ranks in “Thieves Cant” every level starting at 1st.
