'''Stunning Shout''' is a [[warding]] spellsong that affects the target in three separate ways. Firstly, it deals a base 10 [[hitpoint|hitpoints]] (HP) plus additional damage based on the success of the warding roll. Secondly, it performs [[impact critical table|impact]] or [[unbalance critical table|unbalance]] critical damage. Lastly, it either [[stunned|stuns]] or [[disoriented|disorients]] the target. A creature that is already stunned will not have the previous stun stack with the resulting stun, but a greater stun will replace the previous stun. Disorientation will result in [[roundtime]] and possibly other ill effects.

Stunning Shout is a spellsong that, on a successful warding roll, first deals HP damage, followed by impact or unbalance critical damage, then stuns or disorients the target. A creature that is already stunned will not have the previous stun stack with the resulting stun, but a greater stun will replace the previous stun. Disorientation will result in roundtime and possibly other ill effects.

Lore Benefit

Training in Elemental Lore, Air provides a bonus to initial HP damage of +1 per three lore ranks.

Elemental Lore, Air ranks 3 6 9 12 15 18 21 24 27 30 45 60 75 90 105 120 135 150
Additional HP damage 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50

Damage Formula

The damage of the initial HP cycle depends on the endroll and the bard's training in Elemental Lore, Air.

For example, with a 169 endroll and 30 lore ranks,

10 + (69/4) + (30/3) = 10 + 17 + 10 = 37 damage
