Description

Alarm creates a subtle ward on an area 9 x 9 x 9 squares that originates from a square you select within range. Once the spell effect is in place, it thereafter sounds a mental or audible alarm each time a creature of Tiny or larger size enters the warded area or touches it. A creature that speaks the password (determined by you at the time of casting) does not set off the Alarm. You decide at the time of casting whether the Alarm will be mental or audible in nature.
  • Mental Alarm: A mental Alarm alerts you (and only you) so long as you remain within spell range of the warded area. You note a single mental "ping" that awakens you from normal sleep but does not otherwise disturb concentration. Magical silence does not interfere with the mental alarm's ability to alert you.
  • Audible Alarm: An audible Alarm produces the sound of a hand bell, and anyone within 60 feet of the warded area can hear it clearly. Reduce the distance by 10 feet for each interposing closed door and by 20 feet for each substantial interposing wall.
In quiet conditions, the ringing can be heard faintly as far as 180 feet away. The sound lasts for 1 round. Magical silence can block an audible alarm.
Creatures affected by Cloistered, Displaced, Exiled, or Fogged do not trigger the Alarm. Likewise, Ethereal or Astral creatures do not trigger the Alarm, though Invisible creatures do.
In addition, one time during any single encounter that occurs after having triggered the Alarm, the caster of the spell may choose one creature within the encounter, and inflict (Circle 1 damage): 1d6 points of damage per character level (max 4d6 at character level 4) of bludgeoning (physical, common) damage to that unfortunate, as well as inflict the Quelled condition on that creature, as a swift action. If a save is made as described above, the damage in halved, but the Quelled condition is not affected.
