The Thousand Tongues

By Erik Robbins for the Simo bete tribe.

As world travellers, the Simo were often dealing with cultures that they did not know the language of. This Gift is similar to the Third Level Homid Gift: Tongues, except that it applies only to the spoken word, instead of the written one. The Simo spend a Willpower and rolls Wits + Linguistics, difficulty determined buy how unrelated the language is to the Simo's native language. For a French Simo, Latin would be difficulty 4, while ancient Mayan would be difficulty 10. The Simo can speak the chosen language for one hour per success.
