I don't know about that -- if you run around in the Florida summer heat, 
you're wishing for a Freezer by the time you're done. ;)

Bah.  The problem is that the Translator's powers are only useful in 
situations where no one else can do anything at all -- because they can't 
communicate.  I suppose if you were dealing with codes and stuff...nope, 
b/c that's still just "Yes, you figure it out.  Here's the message.  Now on 
to the combat and infiltration, etc.."

Maybe a better GM than me could make it work.

Yeah, that one is really lame.  I put it just above the Translator as far 
as PCs go.  NPCs -- they make great NPCs.

But it is hardly a superpower, now isn't it?  "Look, I can sign anyone's 
name!"  ;)
