You do not have, or have have lost the ability to speak verbally but gained a form of mentally connecting with others in which you can communicate instead. The circumstances that left you unable to speak verbally have altered the way your telepathy manifests.
- Increase your Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
- You can send telepathic messages to other creatures in a 80ft. spherical radius whether or not you see them. Your messages can be in the voice of anyone you have heard before or one you would be able to make up as though you were speaking verbally. You can send the same message to multiple creatures at once so long as they are within the radius, and you can choose which creatures hear your message. You can choose to send messages "openly", meaning any creatures within the 80ft. radius can hear them, even if you are unaware of them. Creatures you send a message to cannot respond in the same manner unless they have telepathy or another ability that would enable them to. Creatures that you send messages to in this manner understand you as though you spoke in their first language, but this does not grant you any ability to understand an unknown language. You cannot speak with animals unless a spell or similar effect has been cast on you. If so, you can communicate with them with this ability as though they were any other creature.
- There is no confirmation that your telepathic message is heard.
- Once per short rest, as a bonus action, you can send an onslaught of noise to any creature(s) of your choice within the 80ft. radius, or send it out "openly" to all creatures in the radius, known or unknown. Creatures affected by this ability loudly make a noise and/or cringe from this pain and take 1d8 Thunder damage unless they make a Charisma saving throw.
