Perilous Gateways
By Jeff Quick
Vale Sounders, the ultimate home defense system
Vale sounders are eight-foot-long iron horns. When activated, a sounder emits both a high screech and a low thrum whose pitches are painfully disharmonic. The noise spreads in a 120-foot cone. Any creature caught in the cone suffers the following effects each round:
Creatures must succeed at a Fortitude save (DC 20) or be deafened for 1d6 days.
The low rumble causes the ground to quake so violently that creatures standing on the ground in the affected area must make a Strength or Balance check (DC 15) or fall prone. A victim with more than two legs or who is more stable than a normal humanoid can get a +4 stability bonus at the DM's discretion.
Sonic energy damages all creatures for 2d6 points within the cone.
The shrieking of the horn is so loud that listeners have great difficulty concentrating while trapped in it. Those in the cone’s area take 1d6 points of Intelligence damage. A silence spell prevents all effects but the quake effect.
Caster Level: 16th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, sculpt sound, shout; Market Price: 149,400 gp; Weight: 200 lb.
