The fact that the player's power would only relate to spoken word and not written still leaves most linguist puzzles open and separates it from the ability of a linguist. Usually when one is dealing with language puzzles, it's because things are written in an archaic language. Really, this would be "Verbal Omnilingualism" and in the context of a globe-hopping or culture-rich game, it'd come in handy but it certainly isn't a game breaker nor would it hinder a true linguist from being able to shine. I'd say it's about a -1 Refresh power. Though I'd be curious as the the source behind this power and would say that it has to be defined within a Phase if not an Aspect outright.

[Edit]

I skipped the part about the game being very much about alternate languages. If context of the spoken word also gets translated, then I'd put it at a -2 refresh. But you can still have a lot of fun with a -1 version of that same power--after all cockney rhyming slang is certainly English, but that doesn't mean it actually makes sense to an outsider.

Fantastic work, Deadmanwalking! I'm planning on using a number of animal stats in my game (which uses the Dresden rules, but isn't part of the Dresdenverse) for skinwalkers. Any chance you're still looking to do a few more animals? Along with Jeckel's requests, I'd like to see:
Ducks/Geese
Jellyfish
Malayan flying foxes (or some other large bat)

How about Jonathan Coulton?  Then his song Re: Your Brains could become real.  Then you can have real flesh eating zombies running around.  But that is the night they go to check out what is going on.  The previous night, several programmers are transform into monkeys because of the song, Code Monkey.

The cause is his new Guitar.  Poor Jonathan isn’t even aware it is doing it.

And if the game world's date is the First of May...

Hulking size doesn't immediately preclude stealth, it just makes it harder for something massive to hide than for something human-sized. I interpret the rules not as "hulking size folk blunder about, making noise with their footfalls" so much as, "there's less stuff one can hide behind when they're the size of a tank". It's not about agility, it's simply about size; they need more shadow to hide in.

To use your example, bears have stealth because they can move silently and quickly but also because they're camouflaged in their native environment. A bear in the city? Harder to hide--even if he's in a nice suit. That natural camouflage and surrounding environment adds to their stealth the same way their size subtracts from it. It's just harder to find camo for an urban environment than rural. So, by default, something with hulking size has a Stealth of Mediocre, but they can still purchase the skill and gear up. They just can't get a lot of shifts on their stealth roles once everything plays out.

All the abilities in the templates are powers, not stunts. In most cases, this doesn't change much but in cases the Nephilim also has a stunt, they'd stack.

Quite right. I knew I chose the wrong term once I had my daily caffeine injection.

Weird.  Maybe it was the particular type of Deryni dice I ordered? 

Maybe just a case of timing? Could be they got a small line on dice after your communique. That's happened to me before with online retailers.

While I'm not in the area, I do shop through SciFi Genre quite a bit. That said, it does look like they were flooded with Fudge and Deryni dice orders. They sold out of the Fudge dice quickly and, from what I can tell, they're trying to obtain the Deryni dice packs through a 3rd party, so chances on those orders may be a bit iffy at this point. Looks like the Dresden RPG is going to help Fudge dice manufacturers put the their kids through college!
