Groan (cantrip).jpg

Groan is a cantrip that generates an array of sounds that give the impression of some sort of misery, echoing the plight of someone in their final moments or an unseen figure that's wounded or dying of some sort of malady. The listener experiences a sense of foreboding, for the groans are so intense as to be disconcerting.

Groan
Range 20 ft.
Duration 1 round
Area of Effect animals within a 30 ft. circle; or
up to 1 creature
Casting Time 2 action points
Saving Throw negates
Level cantrip

While the cantrip cannot provide audible speech, an option allows a vague, incomprensibly sounding name being called out, over and over. This specific effect needn't be employed by the caster. The unpleasant sound of the groan can also entice animals of 1 to 2 intelligence to move 10 ft., or two combat hexes, from the point where the sound emanates after the cantrip is discharged.
