[Ultimate Magic] Ear-Piercing Scream question

[Matt J Harris]

I was reading the description for Ear-Piercing Scream and noticed that the Effect section says its duration is 1 rd per level. However the body of the text says that the target is dazed for 1 round and takes damage. 1/2 damage and no daze for save.

I am assuming that the 1 rd/level duration is a mistake?

Yeah I' am assuming the same, since several rounds of dmg from this spell would make it superior to acid arrow (a level 2 spell).

But no official correction AFAIK.

They might just have meant the dazing continued for 1 round per level, but that's still awesomely strong...

I never even considered the damage being per round. Even being dazed for 1 round per level seemed awfully good for a 1st level spell.

Yeah, either effect(dmg or daze)for several rounds would be way too powerful for a 1st level spell IMO.

I just assume its a typo and the Duration should read: Instantaneous
