Tried for a better balance here, adjusting the defenses (should be good now), dropping a few skills, as well as adjusting handweapon and armor to be without the limited tag. Direct contact with the channeling hero removes the restriction there. I will do the same with the healing light soon. Thank you for the Comprehend recommendation, it was what I was going for, but found that there were over 6000 languages and I just couldn't afford that in ranks (would have required 14 ranks for 8,192). This way it also opens up devils, celestials, extra-terrestrials, aliens and all manner of beings with a language. Thinking of expanding this to include animals and spirits as we play.  Please feel free to review and give additional suggestions.
