An Explorer's Social Aura "YHmmmmm, yes... yes..."

2
The power to communicate with Creatures, humans, and Sapient beings.
Used by Benedict Hollysmith, Created by PoisedIvyT_T.
(It is clear that you are communicating with the target. You must actively and obviously be using Smoking Pipe.)

Benedict spends a minute prepping his smoking pipe and lighting it. Embracing the other in a polite conversation about their native environment, the weather... Sports?

Exert your Mind and spend one minute. You must actively and obviously use Smoking Pipe to activate this Effect.

You may understand and communicate to Creatures, humans, and Sapient beings as if you are fluent in a relevant language for the next hour.

This also includes understanding any recorded communications from the relevant targets, including writings, scent trails, etc.

If you use this Effect to spend an hour speaking with a native speaker of a human language you don't know, you may Exert your Mind and roll Intellect + Culture Difficulty 7. With Outcome 4 or higher, you permanently learn that language and accent.

  • Communing with creatures does not grant them intellect but does allow you to converse with them.
  • The target of "human" refers to any target that speaks a human language.
  • When reading written communications, you get no information beyond what the writer was intending to communicate.
