Use this skill to alter your voice. You have a knack for listening to a person and recreating their voice from your memory. With more training (and in disguide or unseen),
you can mimic voices across gender, age category or even species.
 Check: Your Mimic Voice check determines how convincing your words sounded. It is opposed by others' Listen check results. You must make a Mimic Voice check every time you say something. Make one Mimic Voice check even if several people make Listen checks. (The GM may choose to make your Mimic Voice check secretly so that you are not sure how succesful it was.
  If your mouth is concealed or you are communicating electronically, you receive a +5 circumstance bonus to your Mimic Voice check. The success of your Mimic Voice check depends in part on how much you are attempting to change your voice:
  -Mimicking the voice of a friend or someone you are very familiar with (Modifier: +4)
  -Mimicking the voice of a different age category (Modifier: -2)
  -Mimicking the voice of the opposite sex (Modifier: -4)
  In order to mimic a voice in another language requires you to speak that language. Others' Listen checks are effected by their familiarity with the language you are speaking. If mimicking to someone who does not understand the language, you should still be capable of recreating the "sound" or intonation of that language. If mimicking to someone in their native language, a Bluff check will be required as well. This reflects that there is far more to a language (ie. body language). When modifying the opponents' Listen checks, the GM is advised to think of how integral one's language is to his or herself
 Special: If you have five or more ranks of Diplomacy, you get a +2 synergy bonus when attempting Mimic Voice before an audience of five or more.
 Retry: You may reattempt to mimic a voice only if others did not see you. (Obviously, if they can not put the man with the voice, you can reattempt.)
