The Curse of Muteness refers to the condition in which a person is either unable to speak or has great difficulty in speaking. Muteness can be caused by various factors, both physical and psychological in nature. It is important to note that muteness is different from selective mutism, which is a psychological disorder characterized by a consistent failure to speak in certain social situations. There are several possible causes of muteness. Physical causes can include damage to the vocal cords or other parts of the speech mechanism, such as in cases of trauma or certain medical conditions. Psychological causes, on the other hand, may be related to emotional trauma, anxiety disorders, or other mental health conditions.
I'd recommend looking into 3pp material - I don't know enough about that. D20pfsrd generally hosts both first-party and third-party material, so you might check there. just look out for the Jade Regent one. ^_^
The Tongues Advanced Player s Guide and Lyncanthropy Horror Realms curses both make speech to allies difficult, though they don t impair verbal spells. Besides, they already released a deaf curse, and depending on the timing of the curse a deaf oracle is likely to be either mute same problem , comical GOOD DAY, KIND SIR.
Psychological causes, on the other hand, may be related to emotional trauma, anxiety disorders, or other mental health conditions. In some cases, the exact cause of muteness may remain unknown. Living with the curse of muteness can be incredibly challenging and isolating.
Curse of muteness
Hey there! I just got HL and so far I'm liking the program. I have the APG and access to the Oracle. What I was wanting to do is create an NPC Oracle with a custom curse, mute. He can't talk but later on gains abilities to communicate empathically and even through telepathy.
The original homebrew idea came from here (which is based on Zaiobe from Jade Regent). It lies somewhere between the same power as deaf and clouded vision in terms of bonuses.
Curse: Mute � You cannot speak or vocalize in any way. Comprehend languages, tongues and other similar abilities have no effect on making your attempts at verbal communication understood. You cast all of your spells as if they were modified by the Silent Spell feat. This does not increase their level or casting time.
- You receive a +3 competence bonus on Perception checks.
- You gain the ability to communicate empathically with anyone that you are touching. This empathic communication only conveys emotions, urges, and simple ideas. It does not allow verbal communication.
- You can communicate empathically with anyone in a 60 foot radius that you're aware of.
- You can telepathically communicate with any one individual that you are touching. You must both share a language
- A telepathic bond (as the spell) may be formed with one specific creature per day. You must touch the target to establish the connection. It takes one minute to establish a connection. The connection lasts for 24 hours or until a new bond is formed.
- You can communicate telepathically with any one creature in a 60 ft. radius that you're aware of
- Once per day, you may use sending as a spell-like ability.
The other oracle's curses threads are at least a year old so I didn't want to revive a dead thread

Throughout the years, I’ve gradually found new ways to reach people via the growing realm of online communication. I had envisioned this added convenience as something that would spark a new era of communication, but I inadvertently took sanctuary in hiding behind a screen. It was not until the pandemic took away all forms of in-person conversation that I noticed how silent I had become, even with online communication in my life.
Communication is a fundamental aspect of human interaction, and the inability to express oneself verbally can lead to feelings of frustration, loneliness, and a sense of being misunderstood. It can also hinder educational and career opportunities, as well as personal relationships. Various forms of therapy can be beneficial for individuals with muteness. Speech therapy, for example, can help individuals develop alternative methods of communication, such as sign language, writing, or using assistive technology. Psychological therapy, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, may also be helpful in addressing any underlying emotional or mental health issues contributing to muteness. It is important for society to be aware and understanding of the challenges faced by individuals with muteness. Creating an inclusive environment that values different forms of communication can go a long way in supporting and empowering individuals with muteness. This can include providing accommodations and assistive technologies, promoting education and awareness about muteness, and reducing stigmatization. In conclusion, the curse of muteness is a complex condition with various potential causes. It can have a significant impact on an individual's life, affecting their ability to communicate and interact with others. However, with the right support and treatment, individuals with muteness can find ways to express themselves and lead fulfilling lives..
