Description

You create the illusion of a sound, roughly limited in volume to four talking humans per skill level. For example, you can create the sound of talking, singing, shouting, walking, marching, running, roaring, squeaking, etc. Some variation in volume and basic character can be programmed at the time of casting.

Variations & Options:

Silence option: You deaden sounds in the area of effect, providing a -10 penalty on listen checks. Sonic attacks are not affected, but creatures in the area receive a +4 bonus against language-dependent attacks. Action checks with a verbal component suffer a -4 penalty.\nSound sculpting option: You change a certain type of sound into a different sound. For example, you can change the sound of the wind into singing, or you can change all voices in the area into barking. If this affects someone's voice, action checks with a verbal component suffer a -4 penalty.

Resolution & Action Check Results:

S - Target does not realize that the sound is an illusion.\nF - Target realizes that the sound is an illusion.
