Arthritis (Disability)

Penalties depend on affected joints and the severity of arthritis (for more severe symptoms, you can choose to include the optional penalties). Choose from the following penalties for affected joints:

-Wrists: The first use of an object in a round costs one to use an object action instead of a free action. To further use an object, actions cost a bonus action. (optional: Disadvantage on sleight of hand checks)

-Knees: -5 foot penalty to move speed in the initiative. (optional: Disadvantage on athletics checks)

-Ankles: It takes your entire movement to stand from being prone, and the hero has a disadvantage on dexterity saving throws to keep from being knocked prone. (optional: Disadvantage on acrobatics checks)

(Optional: The hero is extra stiff and slow in the mornings. After completing a long rest, the hero has a disadvantage on all dexterity and dexterity-based checks until the end of a short rest.)

When you take this disability, you may take an additional feat or give a +1 to two ability scores or a +2 to one ability score.
