Since you don't naturally think in sentences, you need to spend deliberate effort formulating your thought into a complete sentence before you can vocalize it from memory. You can never speak-as-you-think. For each sentence spoken, you first need to spend as much time silently thinking and constructing it as it would take to speak out the sentence. And additional consequence of this quirk is that you suffer a -2 to Fast-Talk unless you only need to speak one sentence that you could prepare in advance for a success.

Interesting and flavorful, strange enough for the setting and yet playable. I admire you.
