Based on your and Player Council Feedback, here's the changes we're currently considering for Spellsinger enhancements. Note that this is in a slightly different format than some previous editions; the original version is listed for many enhancements with changes below in red.
Important related changes:
Shout: "Emits an ear-splitting yell that deals 4 to 6 Sonic damage per caster level to all targets in its path. A successful Fortitude save halves the damage. D&D Dice: Deals 1d3+3 sonic damage per caster level, up to caster level 15."
Greater Shout: "Emits an ear-splitting yell that deals 4 to 6 Sonic damage per caster level and stuns targets in its path. A successful Fortitude save halves the damage and negates the stun. D&D Dice: Deals 1d3+3 sonic damage per caster level, up to caster level 20."
Shout's range has been increased to match Greater Shout and costs 15(?) spells points.
Greater Shout now costs 30(?) spell points.
