Additional Effects
Spells cast with a verbal component and command words for magic items require a DC 10 Constitution check. On a failure, the action is wasted. To communicate, you must use gestures and guttural sounds and succeed on a DC 10 Charisma (Performance) check. On a failure, the creature fails to understand your meaning.
The DM should decide when a character gains the "Rasping" mutation what should happen when the gurgling caster attempts and fails to cast a spell or use an item requiring a verbal component. This may alter player choices for character actions.
