No Vocal Chords |

The vast majority of Polis Massans are born without vocal chords, though a small subset does possess them. Referred to as ‘‘speakers’’ by their people, these rare individuals can physically speak languages, though their voices are soft and strangely resonant. When creating a Polis Massan character, a player may spend 10 starting XP to specify that the character possesses vocal chords. |

Polis Massans can communicate with other beings at short range using a simple form of telepathy. This communication is akin to a broadcast, and anyone within short range ‘‘hears’’ the Polis Massans speech. Polis Massans can only "whisper" privately to beings they are engaged with. |
