OK so I am trying to make a Vlaka for our home game and I am wanting to choose the born deaf and blindsight scent ability and role play it that way. I am wondering if anyone else has done this how they played it. The COM says that they know common and Vlakan, it specifies that they know spoken, signed and tactical Vlakan, but not common. So do they just speak common normally? I don't want to be an insensitive person trying to speak like a deaf person would. My thought is that it could be like a computer that they are typing into that reads words, or an implant, or maybe an interpreter bot that follows them around? any ideas or advice?
I chose the blind Vlaka'n and took the Blind Fight feat at level 1. That allows for normal movement, but still basically blind past 60'.
Sound and scent work only when there is an atmosphere.
And I made up a Vlaka'n computer input device that plugs into standard computers in the Starfinder world.
As for game play, the GM had to mention the smells in the rooms, which was a refreshing challenge for our GM. I did get clobbered by a can of mace by accident though, but Vlaka'n still have awesome noses !
