Feat
sourceEC
New in SW5eThink of it as a brand-new SW5e feat: +1 to one ability score (CON, INT, or WIS) up to 20; when deafened, hearing-based checks use disadvantage instead of auto-failure, and you have advantage on saves against sonic damage.✨
Avoid automatically failing ability checks while deafened, and gain advantage on saving throws against sonic damage.
