The spell caster can verbally communicate with one creature. Other creatures of the same type can understand this communication.

• The caster casts the spell and designates one creature in range as the target. Once cast, the caster can move beyond the range of the spell without affecting the spell's effect.

• Any creature with the ability to communicate (per the GM) can be a target of the spell.

• Other creatures of the same type as the target (within a 30-ft. radius) will be able to understand the communication between the target and the caster.

• The caster is given the ability to parley with the target. If the creature was previously in combat with the caster or their associates, there is a -20% modifier on the check. All other standard adjustments apply (including the presentment of gifts).

• Once the duration ends, the creature will act normally, but its behavior might (per the GM) be modified by the previous interaction.

• Creatures that become positive or friendly may perform some action on behalf of the spell caster (per the GM; The GM may use campaign Loyalty rules or another method).
