'''{{Anchor|Utterances Known}}:''' You have the ability to speak utterances, powerful combinations of truenames that can alter the world around you in fundamental ways. The three types of utterances of the original truenamer are simplified into simply just normal utterances. You begin play knowing two utterances from the 1st level truenamer utterances, and you gain one additional utterance known every level. You gain access to higher levels of utterances at the levels indicated on the table above. When you gain access to higher-level utterances, you can choose an utterance from that level or from a lower level. Each level you can also choose to replace one of your utterances known with a different utterance of equal or lower level.
Utterances may be used at will, making truenamers similar to binders<sup>ToM</sup> and warlocks<sup>CA</sup>. However they much succeed on a [[Truespeak Fix (3.5e Variant Rule)|truespeak]] . check in order to properly speak the utterance, with a diminished effect on a failed truespeak check. In addition they are restricted to the Law of Echoes and Law of Chorus, as detailed by the truespeak skill. ''Until replacement utterances are created, failing a truespeak check reduces the effect of the utterance by half (for damage, healing, and the like) or negates it entirely (for status effects).''
The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against your utterances is 10 + 1/2 HD + your [[Cha]] modifier. Utterances are not inhibited by arcane spell failure, and have no somatic components. However they always have vocal components.
