You have suffered an injury at a very young age, resulting in very limited mobility and a visible deformity in both your legs. You can only walk, never run. This has affected your abilities and experience as a warrior over the years in the following ways -
- You have -7 in Strength, due to the injury. You have -5 in charisma when your physical deformity is visible. Your charisma does not lower when interacting with family, close friends or your followers. You can only move half the distance in a round, compared to a regular player with your stats could move (since you cannot run). You can never escape a combat encounter while your enemy can still move further than you in a round.
- Since you can usually never run away from an enemy, you rarely consider that option, allowing you to be more decisive in battle (+4 in Dexterity).
- Since you have always faced all your enemies head-on, no matter the odds, you have gained considerable courage and endurance (+4 in Constitution).
- Your unique circumstance has resulted in surprising opportunities for gaining experience that no other warrior would possess (+4 in Wisdom).
- You have had to be more cautious, and clever, to even the odds when adventuring with your physical condition. (+4 in Intelligence).
- Your mental fortitude has increased greatly, you are half as likely to suffer from mental status effects (like charmed or frieghtened).
Natural healing, like Regenerate (7th level transmutation) cannot heal your condition, as it is a natural deformity. Single use of spells like Power Word Heal (9th level) or sustained treatment with spells like Heal (6th level) over a year can restore your legs fully.
