The Elder Scrolls (5e Campaign Setting)/Dragon Shouts

Dragon Shouts

Dragon Shouts, or thu'um are a type of supernatural gift (DMG p. 227). They are an ancient form of magic that use the vocalization of specific Words of Power to create powerful magical effects. A Shout comprises of one or more Words.

Learning Words

To learn a Word, you must first be aware of it: either by being taught by someone who has learned that Word, or by discovering it. Discovery of a Word could be from finding a lorebook, a rune-inscribed wall at an ancient shrine, or by researching it (PHB p. 187). Ability checks involved in this research have a DC of 25 and take 4d20 days.

There are three ways to learn the Word:

Once you are aware of a Word you must meditate upon it until you are able to shout it. Meditation takes 250 days and costs 1 gp per day.
Creature of the Dragon type can learn to shout a Word after 8 hours of meditation.
In some campaigns, one of the player characters may be a rare individual called the dovahkiin, born with the blood and soul of a dragon. A dovahkiin can take the soul of a Dragon killed within the last 10 minutes. The soul can subsequently be expended to learn a known Word immediately.

Shouting

You use your action to issue a Shout, and you must be able to speak. Once you have used a Shout, you cannot use another until you finish a short rest.

A Shout comprises of one, two or three Words, which must be learned individually. The Words must be spoken in order.

Most Shouts are audible up to 120 feet away when they are used. Some Shouts have the Whisper tag: these make no significant noise when used.

gollark: The iPhone Xyzzy PlusProS™ will actually deprecate all non-Apple WiFi connectivity because everyone knows it's unreliable and obviously 5G™ or Apple 6G™ are better.

gollark: AWDL. It's what AirDrop uses. It's a proprietary extension of the WiFi standards for direct P2P communication or something.

gollark: They already have that, ish.

gollark: It only works with an Apple router serving Apple-only devices over the proprietary AWDL protocol, and only lets you access Apple sites.
