[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 8412340, member: 7006"] Well, like I said, this would only be a boon if your DM was such a stickler for this sort of thing that they were going to penalize you repeatedly for not sounding like the people you were trying to impersonate (throwing up Disadvantage on ever Deception check for example). But to me, that's the kind of stuff I hate to see as both a player and a DM, all in the name so-called "realism". Impersonating people is such a minor effect in D&D gameplay (even within a setting like Eberron) that to force someone to blow their one feat slot in the first 7 levels of the game just to allow them to do the exact thing they built their character for without penalty... kinda sucks in my opinion. Especially when that action is only going to come up once every like... third, fifth, eighth session. A DM wants to train their players not to bother making characters that are focused on things unrelated to combat? Keep penalizing them for their choices and make them use their feats to "fix" them.
