The Midwesterner is a master of polite, albeit, long goodbyes. stemming from a deeply ingrained, some would argue bred, repressed trauma that makes the idea of leaving someone's presence in mere moments seem unbearably rude. a True Midwesterner can inflict this trauma via awkward disappointment deployment, otherwise known as Power Word Welp.
- Languages: (Universal Tone) your Pc speaks common however this aint your usual Common.

Feature: The Midwestern Goodbye
The Midwest goodbye begins with a Welp. as a reaction you may use a modified sentinel ft in which your pc says "Welp" followed by a ludacris statement about something mundane that shocks your opponent into not moving and causing (your level + proficiency bonus) psychic damage. if the opponent does not share a language with you but does understand a language of some kind you may use the language ft of this background. (Universal Tone) To speak with a member of a different race and language as you speak, you may make a performance check vs their insight to be able to communicate in INCREDIBLY basic form with this other being. This Ft does not work if you are silenced or if your opponent is deafened or does not understand language.
