It drives off evil (good)
creatures from other planes, forcing them to return to their own plane(s)
of existence. It further affects
other creatures of differing
alignment as follows:
Effects
Creature's Hit Dice or Level | General | Move | Attack Dice | Spells |
less than 4 | kills | - | - | - |
4 to 7+ | paralyzes 1-4 turns | - | - | - |
8 to 11+ | stuns 2-8 rounds | -50% | -4 | - |
12 or more | deafens 1-4 rounds | -25% | -2 | 50% chance of failure |
Affected creatures must be within the 6" diameter area of effect centering on the cleric casting the spell.
DMG: The speaker must
be from the plane upon which it
speaks in order to have
the utterance send other creatures to their own
plane, i.e. a devil on the
PMP
could not use the spell to
send away anything, although
it could so do if it were in Hell. Creatures
sent to their original plane
cannot return for 1 day. Creatures slowed by
such a spell lose their
first round of attack and each odd-numbered round
of attack thereafter until
the duration of the effect wears off.
Shukenja: The utterance
of the holy (unholy) word drives evil (good) creatures to their home planes,
and affects all creatures of differing alignment within the area of effect
as follows:

of 4 to 7 HD are paralyzed 1d4 turns.
Creatures
of 8 to 11 HD are stunned for 2d4 rounds, slowed to half speed, and attack
