'''Stunning Shout''' is a [[warding]] based spellsong that effects the target in three seperate ways. First, it deals damage based on the warding roll. Secondly, it performs a critical effect from either the impact or unbalance critical tables. Lastly, it either 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, some other ill effects.

With a 150 endroll and 15 ranks of air lore:

<small>10 + trunc( 50 &times; .250 ) + ( 15 &divide; 3 lore bonus ) = 27 damage</small>

Stunning Shout is a warding based spellsong that affects the target in three separate ways. First, it deals damage based on the warding roll. Secondly, it performs a critical effect from either the impact or unbalance critical tables. Lastly, it either 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, some other ill effects.

Damage Formula

The formula for the initial hitpoint damage is:

10 base damage + trunc((endroll - 100) × .250)) + (EL: Air ranks ÷ 3)

Example

With a 150 endroll and 15 ranks of air lore:

10 + trunc( 50 × .250 ) + ( 15 ÷ 3 lore bonus ) = 27 damage
