Garble

Garble(major) by Mr. Twist

This power causes serious problems to any and all within it's field of effect who attempt any form of communication. When activated, every form of communication becomes garbled.

Range: 50ft radius from the user, +10ft per level of experience. At 5th level, this radius can be controlled in 10ft increments, to a minimum of 10ft.

Affected types of communication: Everything from talking to magical communications are affected. Even printed data or data stored in some sort of medium(floppy, cd, solid crystal, etc...) is garbled when accessed. For some reason, even sign language and other hand signals just seem meaningless to people in this field.

Save: This power is very difficult to save against, and affects friend and foe alike. A save at 16 or better is needed to avoid becoming affected. For some reason, the insane have an easier time overcoming this, getting a +1 bonus to their save for each insanity they have. Also, anyone with cryptography skills gets a +2 bonus to save against this power.

Notes: This power also affects incoming transmissions from outside of the field. When in the field, people will perceive them as meaningless symbols or noises. Signals sent from inside the field to others outside it will not be affected. Even a billboard outside of the field will be garbled and useless to anyone inside the field.
