Description: You emit an ear-splitting yell that deafens and damages creatures in its path. Any creature within the area is deafened for 2d6 rounds and takes 5d6 points of sonic damage. A successful save negates the deafness and reduces the damage by half. Any exposed brittle or crystalline object or crystalline creature takes 1d6 points of sonic damage per caster level (maximum 15d6). An affected creature is allowed a CON save to reduce the damage by half, and a creature holding fragile objects can negate damage to them with a successful DEX save. A shout spell cannot penetrate a silence spell.
Leveling: At level 8 (level 6 for Bard), the shout deals 10d6 sonic damage, and causes creatures to be stunned (level 3) for 1 round and deafened for 4d6 rounds, CON save for half damage and duration.
