17.41 The skill of Voice.

The Voice is one of the mightiest abilities in Avalon, allowing you to extend your will through vocal tones to control other players. It can be used to effectively "force" an action by another player. Needless to say the higher your Voice, the more successful your Voice will become and once you attain the highest ranks of Master you will find yourself with a considerable power at your disposal for influence. Success of Voice is measured against the inherent level of your opponent and their skill in Voice. Against non-bards, therefore, you will find yourself having more success as they will not realise that you are using The Voice against them. On Computer-Controlled Characters you can mimic the ORDER command with your Voice. If successful you will ORDER the CCC around almost as if it were loyal to you. Voice uses its own form of equilibrium which is broken when other enchantments are used requiring normal equilibrium, but, conversely, does not restrict your use of other equilibrium after issuing a Voice command.

Examples:
- Voice aragorn drop key
- Voice yossarian give potion to me
