Yes, missed that one, I think some of the others mentioned aren't actually new, but I will need to actually look at it closely.

WM is priced exactly the same, aside from removing one categoriy (large class) and adding one (knives). All the categories that are in both cost the same.

Outdoorsman is different, better value AND cheaper.
Outdoorsman isn't really different (in that they didn't remove anything and replace it with something else) or cheaper, though it is better value due to adding two skills. So I guess it's a little different.

Turning a 7 Skill talent into a 9 Skill Talent doesn't help if only 3 of the Skills are useful to your character.

So... exactly like I said? Some categories are cheaper for game balance?

They changed the bonus from a reaction bonus. Thats nice. Guess the price isn't different, thought it used be 15.

That particular alternative benefit already appeared in Talents, I think, as does the nine skill version.

No. The only Basic Talent that cost 15 was Smooth Operator.

The changed bonus is in Talents, but not the extra skills. And in Talents, with the changed bonus, Outdoorsman costs 7 points/level. So it's actually more expensive in DFRPG.

Edit: There's actually a note that allows a GM to add Weather Sense to the talent, that I didn't see when I first looked at it, in Talents. So only one skill is missing.

It's really a blend of the material in Talents and the material in DF Denizens: Barbarians.

I noticed something interesting --

You can opt to take the Do Nothing maneuver instead of making a check to stay conscious.

And there are some minor changes to influence. The exceptional results of getting a Very Good response with successful Sex Appeal and Very Bad with failed Intimidation are gone; all results are just Good on success and Bad on fail.

Basic Set already allows not making HT checks to stay conscious if you choose to Do Nothing and don't make any Active Defense rolls.

Very Bad reaction also only applies to failed Specious Intimidation
