Just A Linguist [Anti] Prerequisites: Int 9 or lower, must be capable of speaking languages, 1st level onlyBenefit: Your Int penalty functions instead as an Int bonus for the purpose of determining bonus languages gained at first level. Furthermore, at level 4 and every four levels thereafter, you gain one bonus language.

However, you aren’t perfect with the use of these languages and every time you speak in a language gained through this feat, you must make a level check (1d20 + character level). On a result of 15 you manage to say what you want perfectly. If you fail, you mispronounce some words and don’t convey your meaning well enough and the other party might misinterpret you. If you fail by 5 or more, you say some really embarrassing or offensive things, causing the other party to become two steps closer to hostile (hostile if they were indifferent or worse before, unfriendly if they were friendly, indifferent if they were helpful). This attitude remains until the end of the encounter and 1d6 hours afterwards. Special: If you permanently stop qualifying for an [Anti] feat, you may choose another [Anti] feat that you do meet the prerequisites for.
