Normal: Truespeech places great emphasis on tone, syllable length, and inflection. Some utterances carry an inherent sense of cosmic embarrassment, as though the universe itself regrets their existence. The platypus is the most commonly cited example.
Your target becomes an object of shame in the eyes of the universe. The subject rolls twice and takes the lower of their next skill check, caster level check or attack roll.
Reverse: Declaring that something is nothing like a platypus causes the universe to respond with quiet pride. At least this time, something went right.
Your target becomes an object of pride in the eyes of the universe. The subject rolls twice and takes the higher of their next skill check, caster level check or attack roll.
