These are mostly as per my Hinterlands game, yes. For those not in the know, the "d20 adjustment" due to ability applies to:

Strength: attack rolls, damage.
Intelligence: number of languages known.
Wisdom: experience earned.
Dexterity: AC, initiative, missile attack rolls.
Constitution: fighter hit points (if positive).
Charisma: number of hirelings.

Is there a stat minimum for the indicated classes? For example, the description says a Seer should be both clever and wise. Does that relate to a minimum INT and WIS score necessary to be a Seer?

Any score of 10+ will do.

The base number of languages known equal to your chance in 6 due to intelligence. If this is less than 1, then you can speak 1 tongue but cannot read or write.

Seers know twice as many tongues.

Yes, Elvish made gear is less encumbering. I've listed some armour explicitly. In general, other Elvish items will weigh a quarter less, but let me know specifically which items you want to purchase and I'll calculate the encumbrance for you.

Can my Seer have Dwarf and Goblin as two of his languages? If so, what are the proper names for those? And is the 'Northern Tongue' a language that would be appropriate for someone from the former Kingdom of Arnor?
