The utterance of a holy (unholy) word has tremendous power.
It drives off Evil (Good) creatures from other planes, forcing them to return to their own plane(s) of existence. It further affects other creatures of differing alignment as follows:
Affected creatures must be within the 6" diameter area of effect centering on the cleric casting the spell.
The speaker must be from the plane upon which it speaks in order to have the utterance send other creatures to their own plane, i.e. a devil on the Prime Material Plane could not use the spell to send away anything, although it could so do if it were in Hell. Creatures sent to their original plane cannot return for 1 day.
Creatures slowed by such a spell lose their first round of attack and each odd-numbered round of attack thereafter until the duration of the effect wears off.
DMG, p.70. Rear Attacks: Opponents attacking from the rear gain a +2 to hit, negate any consideration for shield, and also negate any consideration for dexterity.Stunned, Prone or Motionless Opponents: Treat all such opponents as if being attacked from the rear, but in this case the "to hit" bonus is +4 rather than +2.
