Following is yet another Defect I created in response to observed behavior! You can check out more than 230 more of them in Skirmisher Publishing LLC's sourcebook, The Jester Dragon's Guide to Defects! These "anti-Feats" can be a fun way to give your player and non-player characters alike some interesting quirks and to add a new dimension to your game.

Defect: Yakker [General]

A character with this Defect finds it necessary to talk incessantly and at the most inconvenient times. 

Detriment: Anytime a Yakker is present in a party, allied creatures suffer a -4 on Listen checks and opponents enjoy a +4 on Listen checks made to detect the party because of the constant irritating chatter. 

Special: a Yakker is able to shut up if she really wants to and does not suffer -4 on her own Listen checks. Similarly, a Yakker can attempt a DC 10 Will save to remain quiet anytime others are trying to compel her to do so.
