Special Ability
No Time for Your Nonsense: David lacks the ability to hear ridiculous statements or obvious trolling, causing him to ignore them so he can stay focused on critical tasks. This ability blocks the application of mind-affecting slows and stuns and each time it does so it increases his movement and speaking speed by 50% for 4 seconds.
