You choose what type of sound ghost sound creates when casting it and cannot thereafter change the sound\u2019s basic character.\r\n\r\nThe volume of sound created depends on your level. You can produce as much noise as four normal humans per caster level (maximum 40 humans). Thus, talking, singing, shouting, walking, marching, or running sounds can be created. The noise a ghost sound spell produces can be virtually any type of sound within the volume limit. A horde of rats running and squeaking is about the same volume as eight humans running and shouting. A roaring lion is equal to the noise from 16 humans, while a roaring dragon is equal to the noise from 32 humans. Anyone who hears a ghost sound receives a Will save to disbelieve.\r\n\r\nGhost sound can enhance the effectiveness of a silent image spell.\r\n\r\nGhost sound can be made permanent with a permanency spell.\r\n\r\nCan this create intelligible speech?\r\nMaking something that sounds like speech, and actually making intelligible speech are two different things. Ghost sound can sound like people talking, but anyone listening can\u2019t make out what the \u201cpeople\u201d are saying. After all, it is a cantrip, and shouldn\u2019t be as good as ventriloquism (which is a higher-level spell).","augemented":"","mythic":"","tags":"SRD, Pathfinder, illusion, bard 0, magus 0, psychic 0, sorcerer\/wizard 0","isShared":"on","templateId":"1190","blockId":"392574"}
