Physical Fault
Expoint Bonus: 8
You are incapable of hearing; stone deaf. Among other obstacles, you automatically fail Perception and Search checks which rely on hearing alone and take a -2 penalty on those checks when hearing is a factor. Since you will not hear comrades' shouted warnings, you take a -1 penalty to Reaction. You will not understand talkers if their lips cannot be observed, and you also have a hard time speaking out loud to others, as you cannot hear your own voice. As a player, you must learn not to rely upon the speech of your fellow PCs, which (like the Blind Fault) may be too restrictive for less serious or experienced gamers.
Incompatible with
Chameleon, Ears of the Bat, Shadow Warrior, Hearing Impaired, and Silver Tongue
