Distracting Chatter
Overlapping voices and screams drown out a target's hearing, fouling spoken spells and any sound-based tricks aimed at them.
You bombard a target with distracting auditory illusions, surrounding them with a tumultuous cacophony of overlapping speech, whispers, screams, and muttering. The target is flat-footed, takes a -2 status penalty to purely Auditory Perception checks, and must succeed at a DC 5 flat check to use auditory abilities or verbal spell components. Similarly, a creature who attempts to affect the target with an auditory effect must succeed at a DC 5 flat check or the attempt fails. The duration depends on the target's Will save.

Success The duration is 1 round.
