Components S (see text)

EFFECT

Range close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Target one creature
Duration instantaneous
Saving Throw Fortitude partial (see text); Spell Resistance yes

DESCRIPTION

The thunder of your steps batters your foe.

This spell causes your steps to strike the ground like lightning. The target takes 1d3 points of sonic damage and you may trip the creature. Attempt the combat maneuver check to trip the target, but instead of your base attack bonus you can use your caster level, and instead of your Strength modifier you can use your Charisma modifier. This does not provoke an attack of opportunity. This spell has no effect if you cannot reach the ground or floor, or if your target is not in contact with the ground or floor. If the target succeeds its fortitude save, it takes half damage and is not subject to the trip attempt.

The somatic component of this spell requires that you move or take a 5-ft. step before it can be cast.

At 11th level, the spell deals 1d8 points of sonic damage you may choose to be moved 5 feet in any direction. This movement does not provoke an attack of opportunity.
