Ventriloquism

Making sound and making people think it's not from your square.

Ability Score(s): Rhetoric + Voice

Usage: One's ability to throw their voice to make it sound like it originates from elsewhere, doing so is often a check against either Mental Defense or an opposed Hearing roll, whichever is higher.

Difficulty is determined by how far you're attempting to throw your voice out to in the first place; you can throw your voice a number of squares equal to your Voice sub-attribute without penalty, and take a cumulative -5 for every additional amount of squares (equal to Voice) beyond you go. For example, if your Voice is 4 you can go out 4 squares at no penalty, 5-8 at a -5 penalty, 9-12 at a -10, and so on.
