Spread Rumor

Level: 3	Enchantment/Charm
Range: Special	Duration: Special
Casting Time: 1 round	Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: Negates

When this song is performed, all listeners within a 120´ radius who fail their save will immediately come to believe a rumor of the bard´s choosing. These listener´s will firmly believe the truth of the chosen bit of information, each one remembering to have heard these "facts" from a trusted friend or relative. Furthermore, for the next 2d6 days each listener will feel compelled to convince everyone they know of the truth of this rumor.

Persons spreading the rumor who have been directly influenced by the bard will receive a +2 to their reaction rolls when repeating the rumor.

Listeners who make their save are not affected but do not realize where the rumor originated.

When people spread the rumor others will believe if they are friendly towards the rumor spreader (Table 59, p.103 DMG). People will not go out of their way to spread the rumor, but will gladly tell anyone they encounter. Thus casting this spell on a hermit is useless, but casting it on a bartender or a town herald could produce amazing results.

Even if a person successfully saves or is not friendly on a reaction check, they must still make new checks each time someone new tries to convince them of the rumor.

After 2d6 days, people no longer care about the rumor and don´t talk about it. Eventually, like all rumors it will fade from memory.

If the bard chooses to direct the song at a single creature, that creature receives a -3 penalty on its save. If directed at 2 there is a -2 penalty, and -1 for 3 creatures.

This brief song is followed by an inflaming speech by the singer. If successfully with the proficiency check, all listeners become angry and take violent action at a specific target as suggested by the bard. Only listeners kindly disposed toward the suggested target or personal enemies of the bard may make saving throws.

For example, say that an ally has been wrongfully (or otherwise) imprisoned by the local constabulary. Rather than acting himself, the bard may choose to find a crowd at a tavern or market place and perform his song & speech. If successful, the listeners become an angry mob that rushes to the prison in an attempt to free the prisoner.

Any creature crushed by boulders suffers damage per DM´s discretion. Note that the bard may use this song to cause an avalanche if suitable terrain conditions exist. The bard may not perform other actions except a slow walk while maintaining the spell, as directing the boulders requires concentration.
