I neglected to say, but most (all but one) of my "Innate Abilities" were written up to codify those "perks" the non-human races start with. I gave Giants KEEN SMELL because they didn't have anything and because, well, y'now, that fee-fi-fo-fum business :)

A Greater Wish could make such abilities permanent, although I could also see a demon having a field day re-interpreting something like "I wish to have a power allowing me to float across rooftops and treetops".

Look, up there in the sky, it's a bird? it's a birthday baloon? It's flailing its arms a lot and crying for help.

Oh that's just Joe -- I told him to be careful with that wish.
