Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia
You suffer from a fear of big/long words
Prerequisite: Must not be immune to fear
Effect: For reasons unknown, you are extremely uncomfortable with long, complex words, preferring to speak in simpler terms. When encountering someone who begins speaking with big/long words, you must make a DC 15+ +1 per big word used Will Save. If the save is successful, you are Shaken for a number of rounds equal to their Charisma Modifier. If you fail the save by less than 5, you are Shaken until 1 round after they stop speaking. If you fail the save by more than 5, but less than 10, you become Frightened until 1 round after they stop speaking. If you fail the save by more than 10, you become Panicked until 5 rounds after they stop speaking. If you roll a 1 on the Save, you immediately begin Cowering until a number of rounds equal to 10+their Charisma Modifier after they stop speaking.
Benefit: Any bonus feat for which you meet the prerequisites.
Special: Nothing mechanical, but sadly (or hilariously depending on how you look at it), I did not make this phobia up [1]
