Re: [BNW] Languages (was Weak Powers)

Hey guys,
Well the distributers here in New England must hate us becuase Glory Days still
isn't available in Boston (at least at my shop...)  But I've been reading the
various Translater posts.

In Comics there was a Translater in the New Universe line of comics, I think he was
called "Babel" (for obvious reasons) and led a group of international heroes.  In
that role, where most of the characters spoke different languages,  he was
incredibly useful.   He also had strategy and leadership skills to help out as
well.  (unfortunately I can't remember the name of the group at the moment...they
went up against Psi-Force as I remember...)

That being said, I think the Translater will probably fall in the same category as
the Hacker and the Genius...very, very important NPCs, but not terribly great PCs.
But the stats are there if you have a player who really wants to play one.

Just my two cents,
Chris DeKalb
