Given "Auditory" is clearly an distinct tag from "Lingual", I had a player frustrated by their Bard being unable to use "Counter Performance" against a Suggestion spell cast on an ally. (As the spells description seems to indicate a verbal 'command' is issued to the target)
Should the spell "Suggestion" have the "Auditory" tag? Are there any examples of lingual effects that are not auditory?
If the omission is intentional, is the Suggestion audible to non-targeted PCs? (i.e. is it Dune "Voice" or more Inception "Subconscious Modification"?) I don't have a good feel for the flavor here.
Thanks in advance for the help!
