Malformed Mouth

The character’s mouth becomes less flexible and the muscles around it become twisted and subject to minor yet noticeable spasms. Not only does this make eating somewhat difficult, but the character’s speech is also impaired. She can still communicate with others, but speaking clearly is difficult.   Type: Minor negative.   Effect: The character gains a -2 penalty on all checks to influence others by talking to them. It’s hard to appear convincing when others have trouble understanding what’s being said to them. There’s an additional -1 penalty if the character attempts to speak quickly , particularly if those she’s talking to are in a great hurry to go elsewhere or are distracted by something else.   Biotech: Implant.
