Tourette Syndrome is a neurological disorder. Characters with this feat suffer from something known as Tics in common tongue. If you choose to add this feat, your character will suffer these tics at random during any and all rolls. Roll 1d100 to determine if your character experiences tics during your roll. (Your DM can decide what rolls determine what outcome, though the general consensus would say 49 or lower is a fail, causing your character to experience tics, and 50 or higher is a success, avoiding the attack.) There are a variety of tics that could occur. You, the player, should have a list of probable tics your character may have for reference. Your DM can choose which form of tic your character suffers depending on your roll.
If your character reaches half of its expected lifespan, or if your character reaches 9th level, you can choose to stunt an attack up to 3 times per long rest. However, if you choose to do so, all rolls until your next long rest will result in a failure for the 1d100 roll and your character will experience tics. This will continue until your next long rest.
A failed tic roll will result in the original action being rolled with disadvantage.
DISCLAIMER!
This is the first in a series of diseases and disorders brought to Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition, known simply as D&D&D&D.
This feat was created with the sole purpose of both bringing awareness to Tourette Syndrome and to add more variety to the homebrew extra features for Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition. It was not create to make the game easier, but instead to bring more difficulty to any one character, as well as to show how difficult Tourette Syndrome can be for those who have been diagnosed with such. This feat was not created to pick fun at anyone with TS or the disorder itself.
TS in real life is a very serious disorder, and is not a subject to joke about.
Tourette syndrome (TS) is a neurological disorder characterized by sudden, repetitive, rapid, and unwanted movements or vocal sounds called tics. TS is one of a group of disorders of the developing nervous system called tic disorders.
Tics come and go over time, varying in type, frequency, location, and severity. The first symptoms usually occur between the ages of 5 and 10 years, generally in the head and neck area and may progress to include muscles of the trunk and arms and legs. Motor tics generally occur before the development of vocal tics and simple tics often precede complex tics.
Most people with TS experience their worst tic symptoms in their early teens, but tics typically lessen and become controlled by the late teens to early 20s. For some people, TS can be a chronic condition with symptoms that last into adulthood. Many people do not need treatment when symptoms do not interfere with daily life. Some individuals may become tic-free or no longer need medication to control their tics. In some cases, tics may worsen in adulthood. TS is not a degenerative condition (one that continues to get worse) and individuals with TS have a normal life expectancy.
