[QUOTE="Dessert Nomad, post: 8324358, member: 6976536"] On the flip side, one thing to remember is that not all DMs have perfect hearing or sensory processing, and that paying attention to multiple conversations in multiple directions might well be beyond them. Tricky voice stuff and multiple conversations can cause significant problems for the DM (and other players) and might result in your character getting passed over because the DM missed that you said something. If your character always speaks in a hoarse whisper and you as a player do the same when he talks, I as a DM with hearing loss in a gaming store with loud background noise won't hear any dialogue you come up with for NPCs. Either you're going to have to speak in a voice I can make out (which I will clearly tell you, this isn't a trap), or I'm just going to assume your character says nothing important because I can't really do anything else about it.
