A priest who casts a warning shout can project a single word loud enough to be heard outdoors approximately a half-mile away. The sound is magically amplified so that it is the same volume close to the spellcaster as it is at the edge of the spell's radius. Only one word can be projected using this spell (such as “Intruders!” or “Help!”).

As a side effect, the spell wakens sleeping creatures in the area that can be naturally awakened by noise and are not extremely deep sleepers. These sleeping creatures may not know what woke them, at the discretion of the DM.

Notes: Granted by the halfling god Arvoreen the Defender.
