The voice control power has some extreme abilities in it due to how it is written.
The adept can raise his voice to the level of possible human hearing. 1. Thats about 200+ decibels 2. At 194 decibels the matter/ organs that makes up your eardrum dies. 3. At 160 decibels the sound can cause embolism 4. Your voice can shatter most kinds of glass - including goggles, camera lenses, armored glass, vehicle windows. 5. Permanent hearing loss at 130-150 decibels. 6. Throw your voice bod*2 meters 7. Mimic anything 8. Combine it with commanding voice so people can hear you. All that fun for 0.5 points Just make sure you and your friends have sound dampening and/or select sound filter. |

Well, while the description ...
QUOTE This allows the adept to mask her voice and imitate sounds within the normal range of metahuman vocalization (i.e, no infrasound or ultrasound), including mimicking the voices of others. ... uses examples of frequency range, volume range of "normal range of metahuman vocalization" might not be as destructive as you suggest. |

Agreed: it seems to be talking about frequency, not intensity, and 200dB is clearly not 'normal vocalization'.
Where does Bod*meters enter into this, btw? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Ventriloquism is much more about stagecraft than science. |

You might be correct, but at the same time it says the adept can raise his/her volume as well. Normal metahuman vocalization means that they can indeed perform a high enough tone of voice to crack glass - just not kill people. Could be more destructive if we add a Vocal Range Enhancer and Extended Volume for the lungs. Vocal Ranges: Soprano: C4 – C6 Mezzo-soprano: A3 – A5 Contralto: F3 – F5 Tenor: C3 – C5 Baritone: F2 – F4 Bass: E2 – E4 A tone with Vocal Range Enhancer could be very, very loud indeed and perhaps be even higher than a C6 tone. EDIT: The highest known human Decibel scream is apparently around 130DB and highest note is apparently around a G10 note whistle. |

The adept power means you can throw your voice BOD x2 meters away unlike normal stagecraft Ventriloquism that is far more limited. |

Oh, it's specified in the power? I thought you were giving a list of implications that you'd derived, that's all. Cool.

I´d say give it a damage code and range that does not exempt the "emitter".

Why do I get the feeling that a Trog Rock Frontman would have this just to get into the Guinness Book of World Records as the Loudest Band In The World?
(They stopped trying to monitor that record, BTW, to prevent hearing loss.). |

Volume and loudness are not the same thing as decibels.

And then there is the soprano acuto sfogato, who can exceed F6 with ease. At the other end of the scale, a Basso Profondo is expected to reach a D2.

So it will be the band from Hitchhiker's Guide? The one you have to listen to miles away while completely encased in cement?
