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

Not all thresholds shown

Damage Formula

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

\mathrm {HPDamage} =10+\left\lfloor {\frac {\mathrm {Endroll} -100}{4}}\right\rfloor +\left\lfloor {\frac {\mathrm {AirLoreRanks} }{3}}\right\rfloor

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

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

Messaging

You weave another verse into your harmony, directing the sound of your voice at a dybbuk.
CS: +227 - TD: +161 + CvA: +25 + d100: +78 == +169
Warding failed!
A dybbuk is struck violently by the tightly focused sonic energy of your cacophonous shout!
... 37 points of damage!
A dybbuk is staggered by the sonic force!
... 20 points of damage!
Light blow to back.
The intensity of the sonic assault disorients a dybbuk!
Sing Roundtime 3 Seconds.

+== Lore Benefit ==
+Training in [[Elemental Lore, Air]] provides a bonus to initial HP damage of +1 per three lore ranks.
-Since players are likely to use a name--that they hear and like--in the face of the ''actual'' name of the spell (for example, "Alkar" versus "Lesser Shroud" or "Word of Return" [also, "WoR"] versus "Spirit Guide") there is hope for having something more suitable impressed in the minds of the populace.
+:{| {{prettytable}} align="center"
-As such, there is a groundswell of support for the usage of "'''Banshee's Wail'''" for the name of this spell; certainly that name is used by at least one prolific Board poster.
