Deaf wizards get no auditory headset.

[UmmonTL]

I usually have the deaf trait because I feel it's no big disadvantage unless I lose the headset somehow. But recently I got a wizard round and at some point realized the reason nobody reacted to my presence was that I actually just didn't hear them. Funny except that it makes for a very noninteractive traitor round unless you raid medbay for a headset. As an aside, can blobs usually hear anything or was the deaf trait in effect there too?

Blob hearing is weird and I only really half understand it. As blob you only seem to hear things that are said within hearing distance of blob tiles and at the same time within view of your blob overmind. At the same time, you don't hear incoming radio, only what people directly say, so you're effectively deaf as a blob. I may have gotten the conditions needed for hearing wrong, but I have heard some things said as blob before.
