Socially Repugnant (D)

Others find it difficult to tolerate you in social settings.

-50 reputation with every faction

Socially Repugnant (D) is a mental defect that causes the player to begin the game with 50 less reputation with every faction. This will cause some factions to be automatically hostile that normally wouldn't be.

In addition, the player will have new, randomly-selected dialogue when performing the water ritual with any character. These are purely cosmetic and have no bearing on its outcome.

Water Ritual Dialogue

Swap spittle? Let's get to it. *licks lips* My thirst is mine, your water is yours. Thirst. Water. Drink. Slurp time. ???? My water is thirst, your water is yours.

Reputation Table

This is the base starting reputation with Socially Repugnant, ignoring any other starting reputation bonuses. Notably:

• All hindren of Beylah will become hostile, making it impossible to start the Petals on the Wind quest chain. Any positive change will cause them to return to neutral attitude
• All docile oozes will become hostile, in addition to neutral and aggressive oozes
• Any negative change to dog reputation will cause them to become indifferent towards the player
