Question about loss of speech

[SangoProduction]

I found this ability, which is largely irrelevant, but is interesting enough.


... This also removes the lessening of a target’s movement speed or removal of a movement type, or any other similar detriment such as the loss of the power of speech. ...

So, if you polymorphed into a T-Rex, (or heck, let's say changed from a cheetah to a dwarf, for the speed), would it restore specifically those capabilities without affecting the transformation itself?


For those interested, the talent is Restore Capacity
Your cure ability heals an additional 1 hit point per caster level. As a special application of restore, you may restore a creature’s movement and physical capacity instead of restoring mind, body, or soul. This allows a target to make an immediate Escape Artist check with a circumstance bonus equal to your caster level against any applicable condition (for example, if it is entangled or grappled), and the target is cured of the stunned condition. This also removes the lessening of a target’s movement speed or removal of a movement type, or any other similar detriment such as the loss of the power of speech. If the target is under a spell or effect that causes paralysis, you may attempt a magic skill check against the spell or effect, removing the condition if you succeed.

I wouldn't think so - the "lack of speech" thing is a consequence of the form. The T-Rex can still roar (or do whatever T-Rexes do to talk with each other). If the T-Rex were hit with a Silence effect (or anything else that would make it mute, like a Curse or similar) it would remove that effect.

Agreed. You didnt lose it, you actually dont have it on this form to begin with.
