Vuultaro are a wise avian species that have dedicated themselves to their scientific research, the arts, and many more things. They have even done this to such an extent that their own race has developed horns through gene splicing that allow them to create intense sonic shockwaves with only their voices.

[Sonic] Sonic Wave

Vuultaro may use a Major Action and spend 2 [AP] to generate immense waves of sonic energy in a 15ft long by 15ft wide square, originating at the Vuultaro. It causes anyone within the area to roll an STR Save (12 + Base Aptitude Score), if failed take XD6 Sonic Damage, where X is the Vuultaro’s Base Aptitude Score. If passed they take half the damage. For every additional 1 [AP] spent, the length of the zone increases by 10ft.
