Babble appears to be a tremendously entertaining spell. I plan to give it to my bard ASAP but I also wanted to run my read of the mechanics past the messageboard.
Babble is a short range spell, so a 4th level bard would only be able to cast it with a range of 35 feet. Since the subject of the babble fascinates creatures within 30 feet, if the bard isn't careful about moving back, he could end up fascinated by the babbling subject. The babbling subject can also move while nauseated, so the subject could use that move action to rush towards the PC's, babbling and forcing will saves from everybody within 30 feet.
Does that sound like the correct read of the spell mechanics?
If so, I'll definitely classify this one as entertaining but not necessarily good tactics in all situations. Excellent for distracting a crowded tavern or ruining a rival's performance, though.
