Chants

A Chant is an audible component required to maintain effects listed as 'Chant Effects'.

  • A chant effect begins as soon as the ability is cast, and continues to impart its effects as long as the caster remains chanting.
  • A player can only maintain one Chant at a time.
  • Players may chant while moving. The words of a chant must be repeated continuously with no more than five (5) seconds between each repetition. Chants must be able to be heard and understood up to 50ft away.
  • The chant portion of an ability is a declaration, not an incantation. If a player becomes unable to cast or speak, they are still able to maintain chants that were in effect beforehand unless the effect also prevents chanting specifically, such as Frozen.
  • Chants end automatically if the caster begins casting an ability or stops maintaining the chant. Some chant effects may have additional conditions that will also force the end of the chant, or exceptions that allow the chanter to use certain abilities without ending their chant.
