Frederick was close enough to being dead to meet several gods during the conclusion of the Vampire War, though.
Close to being dead during the battle of three armies. Close to being dead on his first campaign, to reclaim Salkalten.

Freddy only physically died once, technically. That would be in Karak Ungor when he got sacrificed in a ritual to summon Skulltaker.

But, because of Gazul's brew Freddy was prevented from dying two more times, and while it was close, he managed to almost die again in KU, but got healing before he could permanently be dead.

You know looking back, I think it was those two drinks of Gazul's brew that caused us to have two extra Dwarf souls, but that doesn't explain how we got the first one though considering Freddy could already speak Khazalid before meeting Gazul. I personal think it happened when Freddy briefly went back in time to the fall of Karak Ungor.

He drank 3 times from Gazul's brew I thought?

he touched the axe of grimnir and was in contact with Gazul for a brief instant
That probably why( can't see another reason)
 
That's the thing, several chapters before that happened, Frederick was unknowingly speaking in Khazalid to Garagrim, before Throgrim and Grombrindal pointed it out. So it had to have happened some time before that.
like Mopman said, the acid trip ine the realm is probably responsible for the kazalid sheanigans
 
1). Why could Freddy speak dwarf before his soul got mixed? Was it cause of the dwarf runes that had been carved into him?
1. Gazul started his work and influence the minute everyone got through the doors. Frederick was just the one among many that survived and was viable at the moment in time and place. It could have been others. Also, it was being spoken a lot, by all the dwarfs around him, regularly. Plus his intelligence. Which helped.
Relevant.
 
I thought it was when he went through that really trippy section in the ghost caves.
like Mopman said, the acid trip ine the realm is probably responsible for the kazalid sheanigans
That's what I meant by the part where Frederick went back in time to the fall of KU. It might not have been actual time travel, but the fact that Dwarves acknowledging that Freddy was not a Dwarf, implies that it was more than just a hallucination.
 
When did Freddy go back in time?
I don't think he so much went back in time as saw a vision of the fall of Karak Ungor, in a place filled with the spirits of the dead.

On a completely unrelated note, is there a source for the whole Sigmar's Mien thing that Freddy has? I'm rereading the story and am just a few chapters past when he got it, but I'm not really sure if its from a book somewhere or not.

I think its from the 2e RPG?
 
Specifically, the Divine Marks appear on pg. 242 and goes on from there for a few pages. The book talks about them as a result of critical casting/prayers of priests, just as there are Arcane Marks for critical casting of spells for wizards. I took it a step further, to have it as there being occasionally individuals who so exemplify/perform deeds/come to divine attentions of the Gods. Priests aren't the only ones who can do that sort of thing, after all. Just look at Magnus or Valten or so on and so forth. Magnus von Hohenzollern has some too, the Dawongr trait. Logan possesses a Divine Mark of Ulric, the Eyes of Winter, which is called in the book as 'Wolf's Eyes'. There are Divine Marks provided by the book, but it encourages DMs to come up with their own, which I have.

For the record, not all Divine Marks are purely beneficial, they are literally a case of being brought closer to the Gods in body/mind/soul, for better or for worse. One of the Marks of Manann makes you possess - eternally - the odors of the sea. One of the Marks of Myrmidia makes you so vengeful all the time that you literally get stupider, a permanent -5% to your Intelligence Characteristic. And so it goes.

There were witnesses that indicate it was more than a hallucination:
"Urgdug? What…happened?"

"I have no bloody idea, Count, but I'll be shaved if you didn't kill those trolls like the fury of Grimnir was in you and then outright disappear,"
"You disappeared," Kragg repeats, tapping the butt of his staff on the ground which somehow also causes more light to be spread by the top of the rune covered thing, "For a few minutes at least. Then you showed up again, right where we last saw you."
 
Its super weird how you get 2d10 pounds from the height changes. Like... an inch of height is like 4-6 pounds for a woman or 5-7 pounds for a man. So gaining 5 inches and 15 pounds is just.... odd. Especially while also being more muscled or the like. Though, magic. so -shrugs-

Morr's Mien also causes the 1d10/2 inches, only without any additional weight. And Ranald's Mien(in addition to another of his Divine Marks) cause you to lose 2d10 pounds without gaining any height.
WHFRP2E doesn't really take the Square/Cube law into account when dealing with physical transformations

Also, Celestial Wizards can get this:
Feather light: Azyr loosens the shackles of gravity. Your body weight decreases by 10%. Your appearance remains unchanged.
