Stunning Shout is a warding spellsong that affects the target in three separate ways. First, it deals hitpoint (HP) damage based on the warding roll. Secondly, it performs impact or unbalance critical damage. 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 other ill effects.

Damage Formula

Initial HP damage = base 10 + trunc[(endroll - 100) × .250)] + (EL: Air ranks ÷ 3)

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