| Level: | 5 |
|---|---|
| Prerequisite: | Two Occult Sovereignty maneuvers |
| Initiation Action: | 1 full-round action |
| Range: | Personal |
| Area: | 650-foot emanation centered on you that moves wherever you do |
| Duration: | 1 round/4 initiator levels |
| Saving Throw: | Will partial, see text |
You run about the field like a madman, making bizarre and inane humming noises that draw everyone's attention to you. Your enemies are quickly annoyed beyond belief and start swinging wildly at you, trying to make you stop. The spellcasters cringe and their faces screw up in concentration as they try to maintain their spells, but their efforts are in vain - you are simply too irritating to ignore. Just as planned.
When using this maneuver, you may move up to three times your speed (or two times your speed if you are wearing heavy armor or carrying a heavy load). If you have the Run feat, this maneuver instead allows you to move up to four times your speed (or 3 times your speed if you are wearing heavy armor or carrying a heavy load). You provoke attacks of opportunity for this movement, but you actually want this. You have a +4 dodge bonus to AC (which increases to +6 against attacks of opportunity) while using this maneuver, and whenever you provoke an attack of opportunity using this maneuver, the foe who you provoked must succeed on a Will save (DC = 15 + your Int modifier) to not make the attack of opportunity.
All (including allies) who attempt to cast a spell, manifest a power, or do anything else that requires concentration anywhere within 50 feet of you or a space that you pass through during this round are heavily disturbed by the inane sounds that you make while running about. Therefore, they must succeed on a Concentration check (DC = 15 + your initiator level + your Int modifier + the spell level of the spell being cast or power being manifested (if applicable) + ½ the total number of spaces you have moved during this maneuver + the total number of attacks of opportunity attempted on you during this maneuver). Failing on this Concentration check causes the action to fail and be wasted - the spell or power is lost.
You may continue using this maneuver for a number of rounds up to ¼ your initiator level. Each round that you continue the manuever, you use a full-round action to move as described in the first paragraph (up to three times your speed, increased by 1 if you have the Run feat and decreased by 1 if you're wearing heavy armor). You add ½ the number of spaces you move plus the number of attacks of opportunity that enemies make on you to the Concentration DC you force enemy spellcasters/psions to succeed on each round. A Concentration check is required from enemy spellcasters/psions in range once per round that they try to cast a spell, manifest a power, or do anything else requiring concentration.
If you are struck while performing this maneuever, you must make a Fortitude save (DC = 15 + damage taken) or immediately stop moving. If you are forced to stop moving in any fashion (including failure on the aforementioned Fortitude save or the Stand Still feat), the maneuver immediately ends. (You've been swatted.)

| Summary | Dash about the field while making inane noises that make it really, really, really, really hard for enemy spellcasters to concentrate. Just like a housefly, only about a hundred times more aggravating! + |
