Sound Mimicry
The creature perfectly imitates certain sounds or even specific voices. The creature makes a Deceit roll opposed by the listener’s insight to recognize the mimicry, although if the listener isn’t familiar with the person or type of creatures mimicked, it takes a –2 step penalty on its roll. The creature has a +2 step bonus on its rolls to mimic sounds (including accents and speech patterns, if a voice mimic) it has listened to for at least 10 minutes. The creature cannot duplicate the effects of magical abilities (such as bardic performance or a harpy’s captivating song), though it may be able to mimic the sound of those abilities. This ability does not allow the creature to speak or understand languages it doesn’t know. |
